When to Nurture & When to Abandon Ideas

In this solo episode of Creatively Eccentric, I delve into the creative process, exploring the inner turmoil I often face as a creative when deciding whether to hold onto or let go of ideas. 

I discuss the delicate balance between nurturing concepts and recognising when it's time to move on. Through sharing my personal insights, I invite you to reflect on your own creative journey, hoping to inspire and connect through our shared experiences.
