Episode 132: 5 Reasons You Shouldn't Start with the End Results in Mind

If you're trying to control your art, you're cutting off the magic.

In this episode of The Honest Art® Podcast, I'm calling out the sneaky habit that keeps artists stuck … being too attached to the end result.

When you start painting already knowing how it should look, you stop creating and start performing. You shut down spontaneity, intuition, and the wild, beautiful chaos that makes Honest Art® come alive.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

• Why attachment kills creativity

• How to paint from intuition instead of ego

• What "trusting the process" actually looks like (and why it works)

This is your permission slip to paint like a kindergartener again … curious, bold, and totally free.
