In this episode, I’m continuing the conversation I started in this week’s newsletter called “Writing Should Be Hard.” You can read the newsletter from Tuesday here:
Writing Should Be Hard
What if I told you that feeling confused by your own argument is actually a good sign? That wrestling with ideas for weeks, months, or even years isn't evidence you're doing something wrong but proof you're doing something right?
In this follow-up podcast, I go a little deeper into why writing feels so challenging and how we often slip into easier tasks that make us feel productive while sidestepping the harder intellectual work our projects really need. I also share some ideas about how to recognize those patterns, approach them with compassion, and build your capacity to stay with the work that matters most.
If you’ve been wrestling with doubt, avoidance, or the discomfort of not knowing exactly what you want to say yet, this episode is here to remind you that the struggle is part of the process and that you’re not alone in it.
