Recently, I’ve been feeling irresponsible for continuing to pursue my dreams. Not good enough, not working hard enough, not disciplined enough. I felt like a complete failure, both in writing my book and in hosting my podcast. Behind schedule, procrastinating hard, and lacking confidence in my creative skills. (Looking at the podcast statistics didn’t help.)

Then I paid attention to a tiny question that had been haunting me for weeks: Was I too alone in pursuing my art? Did I lack a community of people who were chasing similar dreams? Did I lack role models, companions in my creative process? Turns out (spoiler alert), yes, I was. This is the story of how meeting like-minded, dream-sharing people in real life can bring your confidence back, inspire you, and - most importantly - get you going.

If you, too, sometimes feel like a failure in your art, whether that’s starting to write a book like me or any other form of creation - I’m here to cheer you on. We’ve got this. You’ve got this. Let’s bring our dreams to life. Go find the people who can mirror back that how you feel is okay. And with that, let’s open the door to my little imaginary podcast coffee shop. You are so welcome here.

Much love,
Bettina
