Hey friends,
Ever feel like your journal pages or art need to be “good enough” to post?
This week’s episode is your gentle reminder: your notebook isn’t content.
In Episode 220, we’re diving into the difference between making something for yourself and making something to be seen — and why that distinction can make or break your creative joy.
If you’ve ever felt weird about posting “imperfect” work… or held back because it didn’t feel algorithm-friendly… this episode is for you.
Why You’ll Care
In this episode, we’re chatting about:
Creating just because you love to — no audience required.
(Yes, even if you’re amazing at what you do.)How social media subtly rewires our creative choices.
(Hint: it's not just about aesthetics — it's about power.)Why messy, unpolished, and personal pages still count.
(And how to protect them from algorithmic expectations.)
If you’re craving more meaning in your creative life — and less pressure — this is your episode.
Big Takeaways
🎨 Private creativity is still valid creativity.
You don’t need a like button to make something meaningful.
✏️ Not everything is content — and it shouldn’t be.
Messy, weird, half-finished work deserves love too.
🖌 Boundaries protect your creative joy.
You get to choose what you share, where you share it, and if you share it at all.
Your Turn: What’s one page in your journal that felt good to make — even if no one ever saw it?
Hold onto that feeling. It’s part of your creative compass.
Hit reply if you want to share it with me, or come chat with us inside the Awesome Ladies Project.
You’re doing great.
Even when no one sees it.
Especially then.
See you next week for more creative goodness!
