3 Lies That Hold Artists Back — and How to Break Them

You’re listening to Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist, the podcast that helps artists, performers, makers, storytellers, and creative souls of any kind reconnect with their creative identity in a world that moves too fast.

In this episode, Lara explores three deeply ingrained beliefs that quietly hold artists back — especially in a saturated, comparison-driven creative culture. These aren’t productivity problems or mindset “blocks,” but identity-level lies that distort how artists interpret effort, rest, and other people’s success. You’ll learn how to recognise these patterns, release unnecessary self-doubt, and reconnect with a steadier sense of creative worth.
