    <title>The Blue Feather</title>
    <generator>Transistor (https://transistor.fm)</generator>
    <itunes:new-feed-url>https://feeds.transistor.fm/its-the-blue-feather</itunes:new-feed-url>
    <description>The Blue Feather is a solo podcast about confidence, creativity, and the strange tricks our mind plays on us. Inspired by the idea that sometimes we cling to a “blue feather” — a symbol, a tool, a belief — thinking it gives us the power we already had all along.

This is me thinking out loud: about building things, doubting myself, chasing momentum, losing it, getting it back, and realizing that what I thought I needed for confidence was never the source of it.

No guests. No big production. Just personal reflections, honest self-talk, and exploring what it means to create, to believe in yourself, and to let go of the feather.

If you're building, struggling, second-guessing, or just trying to hear your own thoughts again — this space is for us.</description>
