Ep 56: You were designed to create — but not how you think
You know you were designed to create. But the ache you feel might be bigger than missing your art.
Episode summary
In this episode, Rachel talks about the difference between managing your life (keeping chaos at bay, checking boxes, surviving) and stewarding it (cultivating growth, bringing forth beauty, multiplying). The ache creative women feel isn't just about missing their art. It's about living in management mode when they were designed to cultivate every area of their lives.
Key takeaways
Managing keeps things from getting worse. Stewarding makes things grow.
Most women Rachel talks to are stuck in management mode—competent, busy, holding it together, and quietly suffocating.
The ache you feel when you miss your art goes deeper than the art itself. When you're only managing your life and creating nowhere, you feel the loss everywhere. The art is just the obvious absence.
The Genesis mandate to tend, be fruitful, and multiply covers everything:body, home, fields (work), and tables (community). When you steward all of those areas (instead of just managing them), you come alive.
Rachel's writing moved from Sabbath rest to Field work as she started creating across her whole life.
