Be Createfull

We made a coloring book! One of the reasons we made it is because we tend to make creativity way more complicated than it needs to be. We believe creativity should be accessible, and that means sometimes we need to stop making things so hard for ourselves. This week we're talking about how we overcomplicated creativity and tips to Keep It Simple Silly.

This week, Madison is talking with 2 boys from our kids' classes at Make.Do. There are a lot of tangents, microphone noise, and young wisdom! We loved hearing what these kiddos had to say about creativity.

Our summer break from recording the podcast went on 2 months longer than we intended, so it felt like the perfect time to discuss the obstacles of resuming where you left off. This week, we're talking about the difference between starting something new and starting something again, why it can be so tricky to get things going again after a break, and tips to help get the ball rolling when you're having a hard time.

Taking breaks is an important part of our mental health... whether it's 15 minutes to make a Sonic run (you know we love our Happy Hour!), an impromptu weekend out-of-town, or three weeks off the grid. This week, we're talking about why it's so hard to take meaningful time away,  different types of breaks and their unique benefits, our tips for giving ourself permission to rest. This'll be our last episode until August. We're taking our own advice and planning a podcast break to get us through our busy summer schedule in the studio.
