How to Overcome a Creative Block [6]

We can all recognise this sorry state of affairs, and it’s not fun! We discuss the difference between procrastinating, being temporarily frozen, or being truly blocked. Is a real block caused by a disconnect  between what you ‘want’ and what you are actually doing? Is it a result of losing your connection with your deeper self? While a pause is OK - and sometimes needed and necessary - we come up with some questions to ask yourself. And potentially two different ways you get get inspired again by leaning in and investigating.


We also answer a listener who is struggling with multiple styles and discuss how a teenage concert reminded Alice of the importance of finding your own creative path.
