Big Magic

We are back after a 2 year hiatus! I hope you missed us. 2020 has been a wild ride, but it hasn’t stopped us from dreaming up all sorts of things. We are sharing those dreams mainly on our new instagram @kusscollective, but also here on the My Sister Says podcast.

We are starting a three part journey discussing creativity. What it is, what hinders it, and how we can cultivate more of it in our lives. Give us a listen and follow and share with all your creative/crafty/curious friends.
