    010 Finding Inspiration in Creative Communities

    In this personal episode, I share how I discovered a lifeline through creative workshops while balancing my other tasks. Creativity isn't just for full-time artists. It thrives in small pockets of time—late-night writing sessions, weekend workshops, brief moments of inspiration. I've immersed myself in various creative communities, discovering how these concentrated experiences can transform an otherwise logical, analytical life into one filled with artistic fulfillment. If you're struggling to nurture your creative side while juggling professional responsibilities, this episode offers both inspiration and practical guidance. I share specific tips for maximizing workshop experiences: approaching each with openness and curiosity, building relationships that uplift your journey, and embracing both a beginner's mindset and experimental approach. Whether you're considering your first creative workshop or your fiftieth, there's always something new to discover. Ready to find your own pockets of creativity? Listen now and discover how small moments, intentionally filled, can transform your creative life. Remember, we don't need endless time—just meaningful pockets where our artistic souls can breathe.

    006 The Joy of Creating for Yourself

    The delicate balance between creating for an audience and creating for yourself reveals the importance of intention in our artistic pursuits. Our relationship with creativity changes dramatically when we allow ourselves the freedom to create without the pressure of public judgment. • Sharing your work allows you to connect with like-minded people and build your tribe • Private creation provides freedom to explore and make mistakes without pressure • Intention helps determine which creative work to share and which to keep private • Some art nurtures your audience while other art nurtures you as the creator • Creating just for yourself can be a necessary escape in our fast-paced world
