A Wilder Wonder Jes Raymond

In This episode I’m going to talk about the super vague notion of “putting yourself in the work.” And I’m doing it on the Winter Solstice- the longest night of the year folks! Fire! Festival!
Masks are a really magical part of festival and ritual, theater and art making in general, but when we feel like we have to keep on a mask that we can’t take off, its exhausting. I’m working on taking some of my day to day masks off, and I feel the benefits in my creative practice.

Another episode of A Wilder Wonder! Critics are not all bad. Yes, the culture of hustle and constant self improvement is bogus, but healthy critique is part of growing as an artist. And we can honer that truth- that hard to hear stuff can make us better by doubling down on another truth- we need to notice and celebrate every win. Every grown inch. Every single one.

Today's episode is for artists navigating the current social media landscape of short form video dominance who don't make short form videos for a living. Here’s how I almost destroyed my whole artistic practice and how I’m trying to protect my art and mental health while still using social media to connect with people.
