When we really examine the anxiety, it often turns out to be a case of building a wall around a part of us that is in fact, totally dispensable. There's plenty more of us where that came from! We can take a few hits! Find out what we should really be protecting instead, in this short Creativity Clinic episode. If you enjoy Hack Circus, don’t forget to rate or

Self doubt is one of the most common things I get asked about, and it comes in all kinds of disguises.
