People lose their creative confidence as they age because they mistakenly equate creativity with producing things that others must judge.

“I personally believe it's because at some point we don't understand that we were all born with this inside us and we kind of mixed up that being creative is about something that you create that other people like when really it's about allowing yourself to express yourself”

Creative blocks are often caused by the fear of how others will judge the output, which can be overcome by lowering the stakes.

“And my, you know, hunch is that most people don't realize how they're already being creative in their life. so many small ways, but to begin to see and hear and understand the language of you gives you these clues that you have something to say.”
