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.
