January 14, 2023 My 2023 Word of the Year + Reflecting on 2022
I still love the practice of choosing a theme word for the year, to help guide new year intentions and goals. It can be a wonderful filter for what feels intuitively right to do and create, whether in place of or along with more structured planning and goal setting.
In this episode I share about my intentions for my 2022 word PLAY, how it turned out in practice, why I’m excited about my new word for 2023, and some tips for choosing your own word of the year.
Did you pick a word for 2023, or previous years? What’s been your experience with it? Tag me on Instagram @rebecca_hass (or send me an email), and we can share ideas!

December 30, 2022 [REPLAY] Feeding Your Creativity in the Winter Season
We don’t have to expect ourselves to constantly be actively producing creative work - creative projects have seasonal cycles, too. But even in the dormancy of winter (literal or metaphorical), you can still feed your creativity, and this phase is just as important as the others. In this episode I share many ways that you can consume, digest, and “fertilize the soil” to pave the way for your next project.
What’s feeding your creativity right now? What’s inspiring you? Tag me on Instagram @rebecca_hass, and we can share ideas!

December 16, 2022 [REPLAY] Embrace Doing Less During the Darker Season
For many of us, the winter (and holiday) season comes with lower energy but higher expectations, and the dissonance of that can be really challenging. In this episode I invite you to question your assumptions about how much you have to get done, how many priorities you need to have, and how you treat yourself around that. Listen in to learn some tangible ways to do less that don’t involve throwing everything out, and are easy to try!
What does doing less look like for you in this season? What’s nourishing you? Tag me on Instagram @rebecca_hass and we can share ideas!

December 03, 2022 Embracing Slowness Instead of Urgency
The idea of slowness can be hard to embrace when there are so many outside factors encouraging us to act more urgently, at odds with the creative process and your ability to connect with your own intuition and inner guidance. In this episode I explain why this happens, share some of my experiences and struggles with slowing down, and provide tips and ideas for embracing a slower pace, if that’s what you’re craving.

November 18, 2022 Self Improvement, Artistic Growth + Feeling You're Good Enough
As artists, we are constantly practicing and growing, whether we feel negatively or positively about it, or bouncing between both! It can be tricky to continually pursue personal and artistic growth while also believing that you are enough as you are.
I share about my journey with self improvement, from reading all the self help books to trusting my inner guidance and everywhere in between, along with tips for embracing incremental and sustainable change and trusting your own wisdom.

November 04, 2022 Why Should You Share Your Art?
Sharing your art can be nerve-wracking, but it can also be really fun! I talk about some common reasons you might hesitate to share, many great reasons to share, and provide encouragement to make it easier to do. If there's a creative project that you've been on the fence about sharing, I hope this episode gives you the courage to step up and do it!

October 15, 2022 Why We Need Gentle Accountability
Accountability is a common struggle for artists trying to do the work that really matters, because often we have to work alone, and it is not always easy to be self directed or compassionate in our productivity. If you struggle with this, you’re definitely not alone, and it's okay to use the tools that you need to make things happen, even if from external sources.
In this episode I share what accountability means to me, how I’ve found ways to create my own gentle accountability through coworking, and how you can strengthen your ability to follow through on your most important creative goals.
