Today we felt a little down, so we went out for dessert — because for us, dessert is a kind of therapy that always works. 🍰✨

We talk about our emotions and how they influence our creativity. We reflect on communication and how it can shift a dynamic and create a safe space to be yourself — and for others to feel safe around you. We also talk about how emotions build up when they stay unspoken, the courage it takes to communicate honestly, and how small routines and little joys help us move through down days.

As this year comes to an end, we’re wishing you a beautiful holiday season and a gentle start to the new year. Thank you for being with us, for listening, and for sharing this space with us — we’re really grateful to have you here.

💬 What routines help you through those down days? We’d love to hear.

In this episode, we explore the idea of repackaging your creative work. I’m sure you’re familiar with the situation of having leftover materials that aren’t being utilised. In our case, it’s different cards we don’t include in packages or fabrics left from setting up our creative studio.

But it doesn’t mean they have to quietly sit in the corner waiting for their time to shine. You can think of new ways to mix and match them and let them materialise into new products. It’s part of the creative process — and a great way to train your creative muscle.

Let us know what you end up creating!

🎄 P.S. If you’re still thinking about creative gifts for your funky friends, our pillows and ties make a perfect gift. You can grab them here - https://karalyte.com/shop/#goodies.
