Be Createfull

We've got a friend joining us today! Rachel and her family lived in East Africa for 15 years. She shares her experience with creativity in a different culture and Jo compares it to her short time living in Ireland. We chased a few rabbits (or maybe I should say 'rat'), so we'll be back to finish our convo in part 2 next week.

We're talking about loneliness today and we had A LOT to say. In a world that's more connected than ever, finding true connection is still a challenge. We discuss the difference between being alone and being lonely, how we're learning to sit in our loneliness, and places we find connection.

Welp, this one is a doozy! We're talking about the difference between something being "important" and "urgent" but we had a fundamental disagreement on what those two things even mean. So you get to hear us work out our miscommunication in real time as we try to find the common ground.

Limitations are inescapable. Time, money, space, energy, only having one arm while you recover from shoulder surgery... there will always be something getting in the way of whatever it is we're trying to do. This week, we're talking about how to turn limitations into advantages and ways to cope when things just aren't going our way.

Whether it's about pricing our creative services or naming what we have to offer community, it's way too easy to sell ourselves short. This week's conversation is about recognizing the value we bring and why it's important to "know your worth."

Today's conversation explores how we can use our creativity as an avenue for generosity and how a creative mindset can shift how we think about what it means to be generous.

Madison says, "Get comfortable being uncomfortable" a lot around here. What does that mean? Why is discomfort a good thing? Is it ever a bad thing?

There are some bad creative habits and mindsets that we just can't quit, no matter how many times we talk about them on the podcast. We definitely "know better." It's the "doing better" that keeps tripping us up.
