Is your place a safe space for creativity?
Failure…
What is the Failure Friendly Mindset? Permission to be sloppy? No. But also yes. It’s different, sustainable, nuanced. It’s a fundamental un-learning for creative people.
Buzzy who?
After getting her creativity all tangled up in her sense of identify and self-worth, Buzzy was in knots. It got messy, real messy. With nothing more to lose, she begged the universe for help. It was then that she was guided into a part of the library she had never been to, and to a psychology textbook that changed everything. The book sparked a six year long research project investigating fear, failure and the creative process. Now Buzzy is sharing what she learnt along the way to becoming Failure Friendly.
The ‘tortured artist’ narrative can Van Gogh to hell.
