Do you often set big productivity goals, give yourself difficult deadlines, or aim for lofty social media growth? If so, you aren't alone. Many creatives have high expectations of themselves and their art. 

But are such expectations truly challenging us to grow and achieve great heights? Or are they a recipe for burnout and self-blame? 

In today's episode, Emily Golden and Rachel May of GoldenMay Editing join me for a kick-ass conversation:

  1. How we've been conditioned to adopt unrealistic expectations of ourselves and our art
  2. Why that pressure often sneaks up on us subconsciously
  3. How we begin to un-shame our relationship with so-called "low" expectations to find greater joy and sustainability in our creative practices.
