Artist’s Mindset

If you've been feeling ungrounded, disconnected, or creatively blocked — this solo episode is for you. I talk about what it was like to fall out of my routines after a busy month, and how reorganizing my physical space helped me reconnect with myself and my creative work. I share honest reflections on how simple systems, discipline, and small decisions have made a big difference in my ability to feel calm, focused, and free. Whether you're an artist, freelancer, or someone juggling multiple projects, this episode is a gentle reminder that structure can be an act of self-love — not restriction. 🎧 You’re not behind. You’re right on time.

In today’s episode of The Artist’s Mindset, we explore a challenge nearly every creative soul faces: perfectionism. You’ll hear raw reflections on what it really means to pursue art without fear, why striving for perfection holds us back, and how to reconnect with the joy of simply creating. Whether you're stuck in self-doubt or just tired of your inner critic, this one’s for you. 🌿 Pause. Reflect. Reconnect with your artistic self. Let’s move from pressure to presence—together.

In this special guest episode of Artists Mindset, I talk with my friend Nick Norgaard Mortensen — the artist behind the indie rock project The Falconz. Nick’s story is full of twists: born in Denmark, raised in England, and now making music in Aarhus. We talk about his early love for football, how moving countries shaped his identity, and how music slowly became his true path. He opens up about the creative process behind his debut EP, why he chose to form a band, and how streaming culture puts pressure on artists today. It’s a real, heartfelt, and super chill conversation I’m proud to share. 🎶 Follow The Falconz on Spotify and IG: @the_falconz_ 💛 Want to hear the extended version of this episode?

We talk about self-worth, trusting your creative path, and finding meaning in the moments where things don’t work out. 🖤 If this episode resonates, I’d love to connect: IG: @martinadiarylane Podcast IG: @artistmindsetpod Workshops: @artconnects 🎧 New episodes every week on Artist’s Mindset

In this soul-to-soul episode, I explore something many of us struggle with: fear of making the wrong choice, fear of imperfection, and the paralyzing habit of keeping every door open instead of walking through just one. Inspired by a raw conversation with a friend, I reflect on why doing nothing might be the worst decision of all.I share thoughts on why it's okay to be messy—after all, the universe began with an explosion—and how we can learn to hold fear by the hand rather than let it hold us back. It’s time to stop underestimating yourself, create the life you actually want, and stop letting other people’s reactions shape your truth.This episode is your reminder to start—imperfectly, scared, and authentically.📌 Timestamps:00:00 - Intro00:25 - The backstory01:20 - What’s the worst thing to do?03:07 - Perfection vs. Progress04:55 - Facing fear07:02 - Stop underestimating yourself10:01 - Final thoughts🔗 Connect with me:IG @martinadiarylane | @artc0nnects☕ Support: buymeacoffee.com/artistsmindset
