Starting a business or sharing your work online is scary. It's intimidating. The to-do list can feel a million items long, and it can quickly get overwhelming. But you're making it too complicated for yourself, and honestly? depriving the world of your creativity by not starting.
So START. And do it scared. Do it overwhelmed. Allow yourself to make mistakes and fumble and learn and grow and START.
You need to be willing to do it scared, or you'll be stuck in the "researching" or "preparing" stage forever.

The struggle is real when it comes to imposter syndrome and being stuck in the mindset of anxiety paralysis. Thank you for sharing your story.

This is really reassuring. I’ve been so anxious about starting and I’m not business or numbers minded. It’s embarrassing but I can barely do math to give change. 😂😢

I relate to this so much. Some things I do that help me are: write a list of reasons why I'm safe/ why everything will probably be okay, do some light movement like stretching or walking, and let myself take little breaks to do something fun and relaxing. I'm currently pursuing a career in graphic design, and it's a little overwhelming. I'd love to see a video on how to value your work more because people are constantly asking me to work for free or extremely low prices, and it makes me feel incredibly insecure. BTW I've been loving your painting videos! They always make me want to get back into painting, and sometimes I paint after I watch your videos :)

Reading fanfics on ao3 to calm yourself down is so relatable. Same with me, but now I'm reading web manhwa, unfortunatly it become my procrastination routine (

Such an important topic, same with looking backwards, if you aren't a little embarrassed, you haven't grown ☺☺☺

The timing of this video is incredible! As someone that is deeply insecure and anxious, I feel the exactly same way. I have also some pretty ambitious goals with my art, and I'm starting to actualy take steps towards it now. Every day is a battle against fear of failiure and imposter sydrome. But I can easily say that your videos have been helping me for some time, Kelsey. Thank you for having the courage to keep going, and help so many artists like me. Your content is amazing!

This is probably the most perfectly timed topic for this to come out for me haha.
I've been having the worst creative block in my life for the past few weeks, but knowing that growth isn't always comfortable is honestly very reassuring! I think what happened with me is that, when things got real tough, it felt like I wasn't progressing at all. It felt stagnant and sometimes even regressive. But overcoming these difficulties also factors into growth too! I think a lot of us see the end product of each project and only measure ourselves based on how it looks, rather than the steps and methods we did to get there.
Anyways great video! ❤

The way I get so happy anytime I see a new video of yours shows up on my feed. I absolutely adoreee your content! The vibes are always chefs kiss 🥰

Thanks for the honesty, it's easy to assume everyone is confident and that we're the odd one freaking out... Last week I decided to take a step forward and had a complete breakdown over it. I'm glad my anxiety is more under control than it was, but we have to take care of ourselves. Best of success in your goals, and don't forget to put your health first!

I feel this! I’ve experienced similar struggles with my art growth on social media. I’ve learned so much since I started, but the growth is definitely not a straight path, but consistency and continuing to keep going and try again even when things don’t make sense or when I don’t feel confident with my art/videos has helped a lot! I think social media makes us feel like things should happen faster than they do and we forget learning, achieving goals, growing businesses takes so much time! You’re doing amazing and you inspire me so much! Thank you for another lovely video! 😊💕

Thank you for mentioning this! Big opportunities can be so scary! I’m already an anxious little introvert who doesn’t like attention, but being an artist, you kinda NEED attention to sell your work. I was recently approached by a big magazine about featuring some of my work in it. It coincided with a bunch of big life events and changes for my young family, and I just couldn’t handle any more anxiety and pressure. Sure it would have been potentially awesome for my art business, but at the same time, was it worth wrecking my mental health right now to pursue it? I decided it wasn’t, and boy did that make my life a good chunk more manageable. Hopefully I get another opportunity like that again, but if not, I’m at peace with the choice I made. I’m happy to play the slow growth game.

This may be your best video imo. Thank you for being real and vulnerable in order to extend an olive branch to other artists. Your advice about going into therapy hits home because I have been strongly considering it myself. I feel so stuck. This video is the encouragement I need. Also, congratulations on moving ahead despite the warnings from others. I'm sorry to hear that they gave up.

Extreme relate to the ambitious but anxious at the same time - do stuff scared 💪🙌

I just opened up my online store last week, its a bit slow as expected but hopefully it starts growing faster soon. Its so much work; a part of me wants to tell myself "f*ck it" and quit but I know after lots of hard work and time, it has potential to be something really nice. We're all in this together, I guess. ✊️

You’re just one of the best content creator I follow no matter what.
You’re so talented and real.
Thanks for this.

I love how down to earth you are! You are a rock that doesn’t let me be start in my endeavors. And the new haircut is FIRA

I really appreciate you being real about this. I feel constantly scared and sometimes it makes it so hard to start. Seeing someone like you who I view as successful talking about this type of anxiety is really comforting. ❤

Until recently I've never been someone to have concrete "idols"
Sure, I know artists I love but that was always more admiration than the feeling of having an idol
But now I think I do have two idols. Less for an artistic reason (I love your art, don't get me wrong here! We just do very different stuff; I'm doing digital character art ":D) but more for a personal one.
You inspired me to shoot my shot and upload my first few YT-videos. You inspired me to take me and my work seriously and believe in the possibilty of being a fulltime artist.
I really appreciate this video (heck, I appreciate all of them because you give the advice and insight I don't get anywhere else).
It's now easier for me to recognize that I'm not the only one being scared, constantly anxious and suffering from imposter-syndrome. It kinda makes me feel less like an anxious alien and more like a fellow human. Thanku for that.
I really appreciate these more personal videos (this one as well as the last one [..? or the one before], where you talked a little about your past and family stuff...)
Maybe this is weird as hell but I hope it doesn't feel uncomfortable to you
I just wanted to say: Thank you.
After years and years of not really getting the concept of an "idol", I finally understand what it means and can move inside me. Thank you for motivating me and making me feel less alienated from this world. Thank you for enabling me to believe in myself, even if it's just a brief few moments a week.
You and Marc Brunet are my idols I think. For artistic reasons, yes. But especially for personal reasons.
Have a sweet day and stay hydrated ✨
PS: sorry if it's weird or too personal to say this here. I'm autistic and have difficulties knowing what is allowed to be sad and what not ;_;
If this is inappropriate in any way I'm sorry and will delete this comment

It is so nice to see more channels where you can follow artists on their journeys, who are brave enough to share the ups and downs and not only the shiny, glittery stuff. It is so encouraging.
