Is It Okay to Promote Your Work During a Crisis? A Spiritual Take on Showing Up
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode, I sit with a question I do not fully have the answer to yet: is it okay to promote your work and keep showing up when the world feels uncertain and heavy?
I talk honestly about the tension between caring deeply about what is happening around us and still honoring our call to create, serve, and build a livelihood. I share my own struggles with visibility, self promotion, paralysis, and purpose, and how I am learning to take small steps forward even when I feel uncomfortable.
This is a gentle, grounded conversation for creators, artists, and small business owners who feel conflicted about sharing their work right now. I also guide you through a few simple calming visualizations to help regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your inner strength.
