Episode show notes:
Are you scared to release your music? Thinking it’s not good enough yet?
Afraid of criticism, or of hitting that publish button? You’re not alone. Almost every artist feels this way at some point.
In this episode, Benedikt and Manel get real about the fear behind finishing and releasing music. Why it happens, how to overcome it, and what happens when you finally let go of perfectionism and self-doubt.
They share personal stories (from Benedikt’s band, his studio, and his coaching business) and examples from real students who turned fear into finished records.
You’ll learn:
- Why “everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear”
- How to overcome perfectionism and analysis paralysis
- The difference between overwhelm and anxiety in your creative process
- How making faster decisions leads to faster progress
- Why art isn’t about playing it safe - and why taking risks matters
- How to find courage, take the first step, and finally share your songs with the world
Whether you’ve been sitting on unreleased songs for years or you’re just afraid of judgment, this episode will help you move forward and finally release your music proudly.
👉 Listen now and take that first step.
