    5.3 Deep Work Vs. Shallow Work 1

    Hey podcast friends! This week our conversation was sparked by a book, Deep Work by Cal Newport, Marian is reading. So what is deep work? What is shallow work? We think these answers are personal to you, and the work you do. We chat about: Defining deep and shallow work in your life & the difference between the two How the online climate is pushing us to work in the shallows and we can struggle so much to work in the digital world, when so much of our work is deep. How we sense the shift of peers on social media platforms…we are all just a little tired of the pressure to show up on these platforms as a second (shallow) job on top of our deeper work. The permission we all have to share online as simply a way to share the work we actually do. The “soul tax” of social media platforms and their intended purpose (and it doesn’t have anything to do with growing your business). How to show up online in a way that feels authentic to you, so you can spend your days on the deep work of your life. Our creative contraption for the week: A Painter’s Color Diary You can find us, Marian and Shaunna, at www.thecreativeexponent.com, Marian at www.missstudardseed.com and Shaunna at www.perfectlyimperfectblog.com where we continue our passionate conversation around all things creative.

    5.1 We're Back & Talking About When Life Is Bananas

    5. 1 We’re back and talking about when life is bananas So where have we been, what have we been up to, and what has been going on in our lives in the last year?? By the way, we can’t believe it’s been a year, we have MISSED YOU, but you’ll certainly get a better understanding into why it has taken this break to begin recording again. So when life is actually bananas…not just sort of busy, but very, very up in the air, where does our creative work go? Anywhere, everywhere, nowhere, somewhere, and all the seeds planted along the way for the future. Marian shares about her move and her six months in a boot barely moving and Shaunna shares a little about her year long custody journey, as well as their moments trying to appreciate the seasons they are in, how they have coped, the way they don’t have the answers, but ideas to help yourself ask the right questions that work for you.
