    Doodling Not Doomscrolling

    Welcome to Creative Becoming, a podcast for the creative and the curious. If you're ready to swap doomscrolling for doodling, this is the show for you! In this debut episode, hosts Helen and Elizabeth explore the idea of "creative becoming" and how art and storytelling can help us better understand ourselves. Helen shares her experience as a late-diagnosed autistic artist using graphic diaries to navigate identity, while Elizabeth reflects on using creativity to explore a major life milestone. Together they discuss narrative identity, autistic culture, creative practice, and the importance of creating safe spaces where creativity can flourish.

    Over and Over

    In this episode, Helen and Elizabeth focus on the first steps of starting a new creative endeavour. Elizabeth shares her search for a creative "cave space", while Helen offers practical advice for sticking with a creative practice when you're still trying to find your groove. Together they explore the role of repetition, routine, and structure in creative work, discussing how frameworks can support creativity rather than restrict it. From graphic diaries and haiku writing to daily habits and artistic rituals, this episode examines how small, consistent actions can help creativity flourish.
