In this episode, I meet with Dr. Marion Piper to discuss how you can tap back into Creativity when you are in Captivity. At the time of recording we were both in Lockdown in Melbourne Australia and after passing 200 days in some form of lockdown in Melbourne, there was an area of my creative practise I was getting blocked in. So after I reached out to Marion for a coaching session, I felt so amazing and wanted to get her on to share three tips to help you tap back into that spark too. Whether you have been in lockdown, been through a life change, or just feeling a bit worn out with all the uncertainty the world has had to deal with in the last 18 months I'm sure you will find something of value for your own creative practice. Sometimes Sustainability is about sustaining yourself.
