Stop Waiting to Be Picked. The Psychology of Choosing Yourself First
Episode 897
Monday, 11 May, 2026

Every creative entrepreneur who's ever felt guilty taking a day off needs to hear this one specific mindset shift before summer starts. What does it really mean to choose yourself when the world keeps waiting to choose you first? In this raw, soul-searching episode, host Izolda Trakhtenberg pulls back the curtain on the psychological trap that snares so many creative entrepreneurs — the addiction to being chosen. Through her personal experience navigating an uncertain teaching position, two powerful Broadway shows, and the morning meditation practice shifting her mindset, Izolda shares why choosing yourself first is the most radical act a working creative can take. You'll walk away with a concrete mantra practice for building creative confidence, plus fresh insights on setting boundaries, releasing guilt around rest, and owning your creative business with clarity. Because the most successful creatives don't wait for permission — they decide.
