Less than 10 minutes into recording and the inner critic already showed up.
NOT Episode FOUR captures something most creators never say out loud — the moment perfectionism walks in mid-creation. The ring tapping the phone. The urge to edit. The voice that says is this good enough?
Derrick names it in real time. And something interesting happens: the moment he names it, it starts to fade.
In this not-episode:
- What happens when perfectionism shows up 10 minutes into a creative session
- Why naming your inner critic out loud is enough to defuse it
- The part of your brain that's trying to protect you — and why you don't have to listen to it
- Why a two-minute episode is just as valid as any other
Short. Honest. And proof that keeping on is always the move.
