In this episode of This Is How We Create, we're unpacking a framework I've refined over 10 years of working with artists and creators. Think of it as creative archaeology – we're going to dig through the layers of your year with care, uncovering evidence of growth you might have missed.
What You'll Discover:
Why traditional performance reviews fail creative professionals
A 5-phase framework for gentle creative reflection
How to map your artistic evolution without judgment
Practical ways to assess your relationship with money and value
Tools for transforming reflection into meaningful action
This isn't just another productivity hack or goal-setting exercise. It's an invitation to look at your creative journey through new eyes, celebrating both the finished works and the beautiful mess of works-in-progress.
