Using consistent creative space to create a constant in chaotic seasons—this week I’m chatting with poet, illustrator, and designer, Barnabas Smith. We chat about the role of limitation within creation, being used for talent and not for message in religious community, the grief of releasing past works, and making for different reasons after and during religious deconstruction. Get your ears in it. 

This is the first episode in the Artist Series! 

Barnabas Smith is a poet, illustrator, and designer born and raised in Southern California. He has released four collections of poetry. His most recent collection, Serenade the Fire, documents the early days of the pandemic. He currently resides in Colorado with his two sons.

In the episode, we mention Elizabeth Gilbert’s book Big Magic and when she talks about American Poet, Ruth Stone’s, description of her creative process. I couldn’t remember Ruth Stone’s name during the episode. ;)

TODAY, I have a wonderful interview for us with my friend, colleague, and fellow creative, Megan Febuary. Megan is an Author, Trauma-Informed Book Coach, and leading expert in creative recovery. Megan and I get into a lot of things as creatives ourselves and folx that facilitate space for others to connect with their more true, more connected, more repaired selves. We talk about wearing multiple hats as creatives, rewriting the narratives of who and how we are and how we have to work or produce as creatives, what trauma informed care is, healing our stories by hearing others’ stories (fighting isolation), and how we’re all in a constant state of uncovering and some shares around what that looks like for us personally.

Today I’m wondering at intuition and self trust, and how feeling our feelings is what creates access to getting the work we want to create out into the world. So many of us have been conditioned to moralize our feelings or simply not to feel at all, but experiencing our feelings and letting them flood in the appropriate times is what gives us access to our greater creative offerings. Through the episode, I walk you through some tips and tricks of how to get safe, get in your feelings, and still maintain your life.

Through the lens of my little fig bush that needed a little more care, a little more attention, we can wonder at the ways that we are surviving and if there’s a little more we could ask for and receive that would allow us to continue to survive or, even, thrive. I’m inviting you to join the HEAL membership—it could be the little more support, care, and attention that you need.
