The Career Coach Mandy Podcast

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about creativity, and what to do when we feel creatively stuck because we are just doing things out of obligation. We do things because we feel like we "should" instead of actually wanting to. This is dangerous and can lead to creative ruts and exhaustion. Instead, give yourself permission to experiment, to play, to do things for fun, and to follow the energy instead of some robot voice in your mind bossing you around.
