Your Creative Mind
Behind every book, play, and song is a person juggling self-doubt, deadlines, and the drive to create. On Your Creative Mind, Izolda Trakhtenberg talks with writers, artists, musicians, and creative professionals about how they create and how they manage the stress and anxiety that often come with creating. Izolda and her guests explore the unexplained mechanisms and personal experiences that shape creative artists, writers, and others.
Through candid interviews and practical insights, you’ll learn storytelling techniques, productivity practices for creative professionals, and strategies for overcoming perfectionism in writing and art. Whether you’re searching for inspiration, tools to strengthen your resilience, or fresh ideas for balancing creativity and everything else in your life, this podcast is your guide to creating with courage, confidence, and joy.

I'm thrilled to announce the release of Die By The Sword. But writing and releasing a book is not a solo affair. Many people take part. Listen in as I go over the writing, editing, and publishing process.
Cover model: Miranda Roldán
Cover Designer: Magdalena Adic

If you pre-order the ebook version (before August 9, 2022) and send me a screenshot of the receipt, you’ll be eligible to win a copy of my Practical Tarot deck. It’s the same one Cassie uses in the book!

It’s a twisty who-dunnit with a little magic peppered in.

Can a Multi-faceted Entrepreneur Really Succeed?

How do you need to structure your time if you have multiple interests and revenue streams? What will success look like if you are a multi-faceted creative or entrepreneur? Can a generalist really make it?
In this episode, I break down some of the key techniques you can apply to do just that.
