#76 On Removing Splinters

This one’s about the splinters you get when you’re building something. Literal ones, creative ones, emotional ones. I started thinking about it while remembering the garage studio I built out of old wood pallets in 2018, the same Happy Studio where my love for podcasting kinda started. That process of building gave me way more than a studio. It gave me a metaphor 7 years later!

In this episode, I talk about how splinters show up when you’re doing real work. How they hurt, how they can slow you down, and how if you don’t deal with them, you stop building. I share a few personal examples from creative projects that almost became crutches... and how I had to shake that off.

This one’s for anyone who’s stopped creating because something small got stuck under the surface. Listen to the full episode on Happy Human podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
