One year in, I’m pausing to reflect on what podcasting has taught me about creativity, rest, and living like an artist in real life.

In this episode, I share the themes that kept returning again and again curiosity, storytelling, beauty, identity, and the quiet truth that creativity doesn’t demand anything from us.

It invites us in.

We’ll talk about why you don’t need permission to be creative, how rest is part of the creative process (not a failure of it), and why your story matters even while it’s still unfolding.

This is an episode for anyone feeling burned out, unsure, or gently nudged toward something more meaningful and sustainable.

If you’ve ever wondered how to live more creatively without pressure, this conversation is for you.

Key Takeaways:

* Living like an artist is a way of seeing.

* Rest is part of creativity, not its opposite.

* Creativity belongs to everyone, not just professionals.
