In this deeply personal solo episode, Danyah opens up about the struggle of staying creative when the world feels overwhelming. From the constant influx of bad news to the dopamine-fueled distractions of social media, she asks: How do we keep making art when everything feels broken?

Whether you're a painter, writer, musician, or just trying to live creatively, this episode is a powerful reminder that art is often born from struggle—and that showing up, even in small ways, still matters.

In This Episode, Danyah Explores:

• The tension between global crisis and personal creativity
• Why the “quiet moments” are essential to staying creative
• The power of creative practice without performance or perfection
• Cross-stitching as a metaphor for slow, meaningful creative work
• How to resist burnout, comparison, and metrics-driven creation

"Your creativity might be hiding like a cat—you just have to coax it out."

If you’ve been feeling blocked, discouraged, or unsure if your creativity matters right now, this episode is your permission slip to keep making anyway.
