What If You Were Made for This?

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.
