This week Skye and Amanda read a book that has come highly recommended by their peers, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. The two break down Gilbert’s unique perspective on what it means and looks like to be creative; something she deems us all capable of if we live life in spite of the things that scare us. 

Listen in to hear the ladies break down the difference between being fearless and brave, what bravery looks like and how it often sounds when we talk ourselves out of pursuing our interests. Learn about Gilbert’s views on the magical, energetic ways that ideas work and how we should decide which ones to go for and which ones to let go of. 

Skye and Amanda each walk away with next steps they will take to cultivate a more creative life built from taking chances, staying inspired and having fun.
