Choose Love: Making Decisions from the Heart  EP: 553

Finding the Throughline: Conversations about the Creative Process invites you into the minds of writers and other creatives as they open up about their process, their doubts, and what kinds of changes they’re thinking about making. The questions are mildly invasive, honestly, and the answers are unvarnished…and so refreshing!&nbsp;
Whether your creative work is writing, painting, making music, parenting, or simply living,&nbsp;Finding the Throughline can help you&nbsp;get—and stay—inspired. Invigorated, even.&nbsp;
For detailed show notes on each interview, visit&nbsp;katehanley.substack.com. And if you’d like to hear these interviews in one ad-free episode (as opposed to broken up into three shorter episodes with a few ads sprinkled in to keep the lights on), become a paid subscriber once you’re there.
