When creative partnerships face identity crises that threaten shared goals

My creative partner and I have been working together for five years and suddenly I don't know who I am as an artist anymore and they keep pushing us to take bigger opportunities while I'm questioning whether I even want this career. We're supposed to be presenting our next project to investors next week but I can barely pretend I care about our shared vision when I don't know what my own vision is.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

One partner's fundamental questioning of their identity and purpose is creating tension with shared commitments and the other partner's continued investment in their joint trajectory.
