BEYOND Design: 20% Is Design — Here’s the Rest

Creatively Tired, Still Inspired: A Soft Reset for Designers


Listen Later

Feeling creatively drained… but also kinda excited for what next year could be?

In this episode, I’m talking about that strange end-of-year feeling we creatives know too well — tired, worn out, low on ideas… but still catching little sparks of inspiration for the year ahead.

From what I wrote in VISI Magazine to the real-talk reset I’m doing in my own studio, this is a soft, honest conversation about creativity, burnout, faith, and what it means to finish the year gently — not perfectly.

I’m also sharing 3 small, real things I’m doing right now to protect my creativity (and nervous system) through December. So if your spark feels dim, this one’s for you.
