A Creative Spring: How Re-Reading Big Magic and Artist Dates Reignite Inspiration


Listen Later

In this episode of The Ritual of Reading, we explore what it truly means to live a creative life. Creativity isn’t just about painting, writing, or making art—it’s about how we see the world, how we cultivate inspiration, and how we bring beauty into our everyday routines. I’ll share my thoughts on embracing curiosity, finding joy in small creative rituals, and overcoming the fear of imperfection.

We’ll also dive into Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert—a book that offers wisdom on how to invite creativity into our lives without being paralyzed by self-doubt. Gilbert’s insights on courage, enchantment, and persistence are a guiding light for anyone looking to nurture their creative spirit.

And because creativity thrives on experience, I’ll take you along on an artist date in Paris—an intentional, solo adventure designed to spark inspiration. Whether you're an artist, a writer, or simply someone who wants to infuse more imagination into daily life, this episode is a reminder that creativity is a way of being, not just something we do.
