Harnessing Fear: Katie Burke on Turning Resistance into Creative Fuel

The more important a call or action is to our soul's evolution, the more resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.
Imagine using fear as your North Star. In this episode of 'The Sober Creative', Katie Burke flips the script on fear and resistance, showing how they can be powerful allies in your creative journey. Drawing inspiration from Steven Pressfield's 'The War of Art', Katie explores how these emotions can guide us to our 'ghost zone of genius'. It's not about avoiding discomfort but embracing it to unlock new levels of creativity.
Katie also shares insights from other influential works like Jeff Goins' 'Real Artists Don't Starve' and Julia Cameron's 'The Artist's Way', blending them into a rich tapestry of practical advice and inspiration. She delves into how 'rules' can actually liberate rather than confine, offering tools to help you stay true to yourself rather than just appear acceptable to others.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or someone just beginning their sober journey, Katie's candid discussion about self-judgment, intuition, and the benefits of meditation will resonate deeply. Tune in to discover how you can turn fear and resistance into your greatest creative assets.
