About this episode

This episode explores the concept of artistic regret and the habit of postponing creative work, encouraging listeners to start creating now.

What if the regret you fear at the end of your life is already quietly accumulating right now? Explore the hidden pattern of “structured deferral” — the habit of continually postponing your creative work for a future that never actually arrives. Through personal stories about caregiving, loss, fear, and finally stepping into coaching and the Create Anyway Collective, Jordan unpacks why artists so often tell themselves “I’ll do it later,” and why later keeps repeating the same patterns as now. This episode is a direct invitation to stop waiting for the “right time” and begin creating the work of your life today. Listen, rate, and subscribe to Create the Work of Your Life.
