DEEP INSIGHTS & REAL CONVERSATIONS 
VLOG & BLOG

Failure isn’t weakness. It’s the price of real creativity. In this video, I talk about the fear of failure—why it paralyzes so many creative people, how perfectionism ruins real work, and why most advice about failure is completely wrong. If you're tired of pretending, performing, or trying to be palatable in a world that wants your content, not your soul, this one's for you. We go deep into: – Why “failure is not an option” is a toxic myth – The truth about perfectionism and shame – How to keep creating when doubt takes over – What real creative freedom actually costs Watch this if you're a creative who feels stuck, scared, or invisible. 🎨 Craving a space where your creativity doesn’t have to perform? → That’s what *The Muse* is for: https://www.philipp-counselling.com/the-muse-creative-meditation 🖼️ Want to surround yourself with art that feels like breath? → Art prints & statement pieces: https://www.philipp-counselling.com/unique-art-prints 🧠 Need someone who sees past the performance? → Insight Call: https://www.happinesscoding.com ✍️ My book “The Unfinished Symphony” is now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2YQ4Z9F ✍️ I just started a Substack.

This is an oldie I found this morning. it's Friday, so...:)

Creating used to feel like coming home. Now it feels like a job interview. Or worse—like shouting into the void. This video is for you if you’ve started to feel disconnected from your own work. When what once felt sacred now feels like strategy. When your art starts needing permission slips, marketing plans, or justifications. We’ll talk about: – The subtle grief of drifting from your creative self – Why the “personal brand” era is draining your joy – Social media’s curated pressure to “perform authenticity” – What happens when creating turns into proving – How to return to your work with honesty, anger, tenderness—even if no one’s watching 🎨 Craving a space where your creativity doesn’t have to perform? → That’s what *The Muse* is for: https://www.philipp-counselling.com/the-muse-creative-meditation 🖼️ Want to surround yourself with art that feels like breath? → Art prints & statement pieces: https://www.philipp-counselling.com/unique-art-prints 🧠 Need someone who sees past the performance? → Insight Call or Deep Session: https://www.happinesscoding.com ✍️ My book “The Unfinished Symphony” is now on Amazon: A quiet, poetic rebellion for creatives who feel too much: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2YQ4Z9F 📲 Stay in touch: Instagram (salon & business): https://www.instagram.com/christine_happinesscoding Instagram (personal playground): https://www.instagram.com/my_doodle_diaries #CreativeGrief #CreatingUnderPressure #LostMySpark #ArtBlock #ArtistLife #TheMuse #CreativeSanctuary #SelfDoubt #PerformanceFatigue #IntimacyWithArt

You feel guilty when you say no. You apologize for things that don’t need apologizing. And you assume guilt means you’ve done something wrong. But what if it doesn’t? What if guilt is just… your conditioning talking? In this video, we explore how guilt hijacks your boundaries, distorts your integrity, and keeps you performing instead of living. And how to stop letting it run your life.

Things are going well. But instead of relaxing, you’re bracing. Joy feels suspicious. Calm feels like a setup. You’re waiting for the crash. In this video, I talk about what it really means when happiness feels unsafe, why your nervous system might still be in survival mode, and what to do when good things don’t feel good. You learned to expect chaos. And you can learn to feel something different.

Many creatives feel like they constantly have to prove themselves to feel worthy. And some people walk through life like they have nothing to prove. If you’ve ever felt like you have to earn your worth, prove your talent, or constantly fight to be seen, this one’s for you. And if you’re a creative? It’s even trickier. When your work is subjective, how do you measure your worth? How do you know when you’re finally enough? Let’s talk about the weight of proving yourself and the freedom of letting it go.
