    My 2023 Word of the Year + Reflecting on 2022

    My 2023 Word of the Year + Reflecting on 2022

    I still love the practice of choosing a theme word for the year, to help guide new year intentions and goals. It can be a wonderful filter for what feels intuitively right to do and create, whether in place of or along with more structured planning and goal setting.

    In this episode I share about my intentions for my 2022 word PLAY, how it turned out in practice, why I’m excited about my new word for 2023, and some tips for choosing your own word of the year.

    Did you pick a word for 2023, or previous years? What’s been your experience with it? Tag me on Instagram @rebecca_hass (or send me an email), and we can share ideas!

    [REPLAY] Feeding Your Creativity in the Winter Season

    [REPLAY] Feeding Your Creativity in the Winter Season

    We don’t have to expect ourselves to constantly be actively producing creative work - creative projects have seasonal cycles, too. But even in the dormancy of winter (literal or metaphorical), you can still feed your creativity, and this phase is just as important as the others. In this episode I share many ways that you can consume, digest, and “fertilize the soil” to pave the way for your next project.

    What’s feeding your creativity right now? What’s inspiring you? Tag me on Instagram @rebecca_hass, and we can share ideas!

    [REPLAY] Embrace Doing Less During the Darker Season

    [REPLAY] Embrace Doing Less During the Darker Season

    For many of us, the winter (and holiday) season comes with lower energy but higher expectations, and the dissonance of that can be really challenging. In this episode I invite you to question your assumptions about how much you have to get done, how many priorities you need to have, and how you treat yourself around that. Listen in to learn some tangible ways to do less that don’t involve throwing everything out, and are easy to try!

    What does doing less look like for you in this season? What’s nourishing you? Tag me on Instagram @rebecca_hass and we can share ideas!

    Embracing Slowness Instead of Urgency

    Embracing Slowness Instead of Urgency

    The idea of slowness can be hard to embrace when there are so many outside factors encouraging us to act more urgently, at odds with the creative process and your ability to connect with your own intuition and inner guidance. In this episode I explain why this happens, share some of my experiences and struggles with slowing down, and provide tips and ideas for embracing a slower pace, if that’s what you’re craving.

    Self Improvement, Artistic Growth + Feeling You're Good Enough

    Self Improvement, Artistic Growth + Feeling You're Good Enough

    As artists, we are constantly practicing and growing, whether we feel negatively or positively about it, or bouncing between both! It can be tricky to continually pursue personal and artistic growth while also believing that you are enough as you are.

    I share about my journey with self improvement, from reading all the self help books to trusting my inner guidance and everywhere in between, along with tips for embracing incremental and sustainable change and trusting your own wisdom.

Very helpful topics - short & sweet!

I’m so happy I found this podcast. We’re all busy these days and it’s hard to jump into hour long episodes. Rebecca approaches relevant topics for creatives in short & sweet, easy to digest (and delicious) morsels. Her episodes help keep me inspired to believe that a healthy & balanced creative practice is attainable in my life. Thanks!

So Helpful

I have binged every single one of these episodes. I love how the podcast started and I love where it’s going. Every episode is full of reminders and self care ideas that make it easy to remember how to live my creative life. I carry Rebecca’s thoughts with me daily, and I’m even a proud productive member of her coworking club with likeminded beautiful people. All the wonderful coaching on this podcast is so juicy, I’m amazed how free it is! Thanks Rebecca!

Love “Compassionate productivity”

Rebecca is a wonderful resource for creatives who are finding themselves too close to burnout too often. I love her reminders of how productivity shouldn’t equate to self-neglect. Can’t wait to hear Season 3!
