Someone else is making more, selling more, getting that gallery show or grant\u2026 and suddenly, your own progress feels like it doesn\u2019t count. In this episode of Unframed, I\u2019m taking a look into the spiky topic of comparison: - When it can actually help your creative practice - When it starts to undermine your confidence - And how to set your own pace without getting pulled off course As a gallery owner and coach, I see this come up all the time - perhaps especially for artists and makers who are returning to creativity later in life or growing a practice alongside other demands. And I\u2019ve felt it too. Comparison can be motivating, but only when you\u2019re clear about what you\u2019re looking for. In this chat, I share some ways to be more intentional with what you absorb, how to choose a healthy \u2018pace-setter,\u2019 and why your timeline doesn\u2019t need to match anyone else\u2019s. Whether you\u2019re feeling inspired or overwhelmed, I hope this helps you find your footing again.
