You’re listening to Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist — the podcast for artists, performers, writers, and creative professionals who want to stay grounded in who they are in a world that constantly asks them to prove their worth.

Creative identity isn’t something you discover one day.

It’s something you reclaim — often after years of rejection, comparison, and adapting just to survive.

In this episode, Lara explores how creative identity quietly erodes, why external validation can’t hold it, and what it actually means to reclaim authorship over your creative life. This is a core, philosophical conversation for artists who feel disconnected from their work — even if they’re still creating.

If you’ve ever wondered why confidence feels fragile, clarity feels distant, or your creative voice feels muted, this episode will help you steady the ground beneath you.

1. Why creative identity erosion happens slowly — not all at once
2. The hidden cost of building identity on validation and response
3. What reclaiming authorship looks like in real artistic life
4. How artists rebuild confidence without burning everything down

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.

Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist is hosted by Lara Bianca Pilcher, PCC-certified Life & Creativity Coach, professional performer, and author of Audacious Artistry: Reclaim Your Creative Identity and Thrive in a Saturated World (Collective Ink, 2026).

What if the fear you’re feeling isn’t proof you’re falling behind… but proof you’re on the right path?

As the new year begins, many artists feel pressure to reinvent themselves — to be further ahead, more successful, more confident, more certain. But what if the doubt, the waiting, the middle ground is not failure at all?

In today’s episode, Lara explores why self-doubt shows up most for artists who care deeply — and why your ongoing desire to create may be the strongest evidence of purpose you’ll ever receive.

✨ In this episode:

1. why talented dancers, actors, singers, writers + visual artists doubt themselves most
2. the neuroscience of identity vs. achievement
3. why the invisible middle isn’t a setback — it’s formation
4. how to reconnect to the truth that you were made for this
5. a simple Creative Spark to start the year grounded, not frantic

If you’ve been feeling late, stuck behind, or unsure whether you can really do this — breathe. This conversation is for you.

💛 Key idea:

If you weren’t meant for this, you would have quit already. The fact that you’re here — still listening, still caring — reveals something deeper:

You were made for this.
