In this episode, we talk about why the start-up phase is often the most discouraging part of being an independent artist, musician, or creator—and why nothing feels easy at first. You’ll learn how to push through low confidence, slow growth, and the frustration of creating without feedback, while building the habits and consistency that lead to real momentum.

If you’re an independent artist trying to grow your career, improve your craft, and stay motivated when progress feels invisible, this episode will help you reframe the struggle and keep moving forward—one step at a time.
