Do you ever feel like you know where you want to be creatively or professionally, but you're just not there yet? You’re not alone. In this inspiring solo episode, Kate reflects on the creative “taste gap,” a concept introduced by Ira Glass, and how it shows up in her own work through poetry, projects, and personal growth.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned creator starting something new, this episode will remind you why the messy middle matters—and how staying committed to your creative process is the key to growth.
🎧 In this episode, you’ll discover:
- What the “taste gap” is and why it frustrates creators
- How daily creative challenges can build momentum and confidence
- Why mediocre work is often a stepping stone to something meaningful
- The power of trusting your taste (even when your skills aren’t there yet)
- How to stay motivated when the results haven’t shown up…yet
- Encouragement to keep going, no matter where you are in the journey
✨ If you’ve ever doubted your progress or felt stuck in the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this is your reminder that growth is happening—even when it may not feel like it.
