"Life is energy: pure creative energy," begins the now-infamous creative guidebook, The Artist's Way, written by Julia Cameron in 1992. On today's pod, Brooke and Lacy get real about the risk and reward of pursuing creative lives. They explore creative moments from their past that still resonate with joy and purpose, identify what allows them to accelerate and encourage the creative process in the thick of life's demands, and call out the ever-present obstacles to tapping into the creative energy within. This episode is an ode to the artist in all of us.
