Living Creatively

We're back and it's a whole new vibe! Join us for the premiere of Season 3 as we discuss what we've been up to during the break and how it has shaped how we are moving forward.

In this bonus episode, we reflect on our "go to" movie that not only spoke to us but shaped us in some meaningful way. So pop some corn, grab a drink, and sit back as we talk about the films that moved us.

In this bonus episode, we provide answers to conversation starters and have a real-time understanding about the things that can just about tip us over the edge on a bad day. Join in on the fun and let us know in the comments how'd you'd answer!

This season is ending with a true wrap-up. Join us as we discuss the transitions that we individually are going through and how they will shift and shape how we return for season 3.

Well fellow creatives, this week we continue our discussion from last week's episode A Tale of Two Therapies. The fun and laughter continue as we discuss the topic of therapy and how we are handling it, or should we say, how therapy is handling us? It ended with a bit of a cliffhanger but we tried not to leave you hanging for too long, so join us as we continue the conversation on the importance of therapy.

Whew, this was the gift that kept on giving to the point where we had to break it up into 2 episodes. Join us as we take you through our very different experiences with the same therapy app Better Help. We started off very serious and somewhere in the middle, things went left…in a good way. If you’ve been with us for a while, you know that we can find laughter in the most amusing ways and this time was no different. Join us as we discuss our therapy journeys and our very experiences.

We've all been there...Just trying to get a good night's rest and then, BAM! It's 3am and your brain wants to have a long chat about every little thing you've ever done wrong in your life. Or, you've told every single person you know that you're about to do something big, and now, you're just not into it and feeling kind of dumb. In this episode, we talk about ways to take a step back, reflect, and change how we perceive mistakes so we can let them go. So, sit back, take a listen, and know you are not alone.
