Description:

Setbacks are part of the inextricable set of experiences that make you who you are, and thus make your creative work what it is. We are obsessed with triumph stories, where hard work is the only ingredient required to succeed, but what about the inevitable curveballs life throws along the way? Is the only way to handle them toxic positivity that demands you see how those curveballs were the best thing that every happened to you? There’s another way. In this episode we explore how to think about setbacks in a way that supports your creativity but also connects you to your humanity, and how to alchemize the hardest things into something beautiful.
