They’re just career-driven 30-somethings doing self-work live, showing us all that there’s a deeper sense of connection and camaraderie when you exploit your struggles and growing pains on the internet.

032. Fear and Creativity: Navigating the Fear of Being Seen and Misunderstood [VIDEO]

Welcome back, Wives! This week, we’re diving into something that hits close to home – putting yourself out there and facing the fears that come with it, especially in the creative world. Building on last week’s chat about trying new things, we’re getting real about what it means to overcome those inner doubts that can hold us back. For us, these fears show up in different ways. Maybe it’s the fear of being seen and showing your truest self through your creative work, or perhaps it’s the fear of being misunderstood when you take a leap of faith and trust your gut as you navigate new changes. In this episode, we’re catching up, checking in on our emotional state, tackling a particularly daunting Would You Rather, and diving deep into the messy, beautiful world of creative expression and leaning into fear. We think this one’s going to resonate with you. Got topics you’d love to hear us explore? We’re all ears – reach out and let us know!

Hello, our beloved Wives! We’re back with Episode 31, and it’s all about pushing past the fear of embarrassment or being new at something and doing it anyway. How it's cool to try new things, even if you’re not great at them at first? The WYR this week is themed around the topic and it's not one you want to miss as we learn that maybe Jill's new calling is Slam Poetry?

Katie also opens up a bit about what it means to be in a state of creative healing and recovery, and we learn that sharing our wins and struggles while in different stages of creativity is actually, quite beautiful.
