In this inspiring episode of Self-Care for the Creative, host Stefani Fryzel sits down with Christina Tripp, a Nashville-based songwriter and social media content creator, to talk about the real-life highs and lows of the creative journey. Christina shares her story of stepping into the music industry, her favorite songwriting practices, and how she works through blocks when inspiration feels out of reach. From the power of journaling and movement to the value of writing alongside stronger creatives, she opens up about what keeps her going and how she stays aligned with her vision—especially when the fear of visibility creeps in.
Together, Stefani and Christina dig into the importance of self-belief, rest, and a solid schedule that supports both productivity and peace of mind. Christina also drops practical tips for content creation (whether you're a planner or a spontaneous soul), and talks about how daily gratitude can help reset your mindset when doubt tries to take over. If you’re looking for encouragement to stay visible, stay grounded, and keep writing even when it’s hard—this episode is packed with gems.
