Taylor Sterling — ”I want to be more empathetic to how I can help versus how people can help me.” Slow Stories
-
- Society & Culture
The creative process is exciting, messy, and in some cases, uncertain. But it illuminates the depths of our subconscious and creates a runway to tell stories that inspire a shift in pace, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the worlds conjured by some of the most creative minds. Taylor Sterling is one of them, and her multifaceted approach to creativity has come to life most notably in the form of Glitter Guide—a brand and editorial platform that publishes “lifestyle advice, reading recommendations, and tips for boosting and embracing your creative energy.”
While the site has amassed a loyal following over the years, the road to building Glitter Guide hasn't been all sparkles, and Taylor has grappled with how we collectively value—and approach—storytelling in an increasingly fast-paced environment.
As Taylor has paid attention to the big changes that have informed how she's built her business, she's also learned to pay attention to the little moments that are shaping how she's building her life. In this conversation, she shared more about those moments, along with how slowness has informed her relationship with creativity, and what she's learned about surrendering certain expectations to make space for the things that matter most. This episode also opens with a story contributed by Tania Leipold of Laine + Alliage.
