Art After Dark is officially back for Season 2, and we’re kicking things off with an episode that might make you laugh, cringe, or quietly close a few browser tabs.
Episode 1 is all about the Course Junkie Trap — that very relatable cycle of buying online courses, getting a little rush from hitting “purchase,” and then... watching them collect dust in your inbox. (No judgment. We are fully in this with you.)
Kristi and I get into why artists are especially prone to this pattern — from imposter syndrome and fear of rejection to something Kristi perfectly named “productive procrastination.” We talk about the difference between courses that genuinely move the needle (especially early in your quest) and courses that are really just a way of avoiding the scary part: actually doing the work.
We also share some practical ways to break the cycle, including a tip about Skillshare that has changed how Kristi approaches the urge to buy every shiny new course she sees.
If you’ve ever had a course graveyard, this one’s for you.
