How Does Inspiration Actually Work? (Creativity, Panic, Discipline & Just Doing the Thing)

Where does inspiration really come from and why does it feel impossible to summon when you need it most?

In this candid, meandering, and surprisingly honest conversation, we unpack creativity from every angle: Why inspiration often comes from emotion, not logic. How panic and self-doubt can completely block creative signals. What can artists do to push past that block and create?
