Do you blame your family, friends, and loved ones for your creative shortcomings?
If you do this subconsciously or consciously, you are not alone.
In this episode, Youngman looks back to past (and future) guests who had something to say about dealing with that difficult balance of pursuing their creative passion or career, while still fulfilling their roles as a husband, wife, mother, father, boyfriend, girlfriend, or any other role that requires their time and energy.
You will also learn how you might be taking your role as a parent, spouse, or friend and using it as a crutch to let yourself off the hook from pursuing your creative passion.
Finally, you’ll see things from the other side of the spectrum and learn what to do if you are spending too much time with your creative endeavors and not enough with your family.
This episode has profanity, so don’t listen around your children.
But don’t blame them.
