Have you got the cringe factor? Holly and Thea certainly have when they look back over their past creative work! In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast we delve into why it’s so hard to judge your previous output objectively, remind ourselves why reflection is important, and consider how we can look back in a kind and healthy way (Hint: Oasis had the right idea… not Wonderwall, the other one). Also featuring: Holly’s tales from the night market, a reminder to check your spam inbox, and an invitation for Steven Speilberg to be our first podcast guest. Let’s dive into it!

It's happening! Welcome to The Creative Life Podcast! In this episode we take our first wobbly steps into the world of podcasting as we umm and ahh our way through the topic of “Making time for creativity”. We discuss what holds us back – from fear of the blank page, to absent muses, to prioritising taxing the car – and the ways in which we overcome these obstacles. Have you tried setting gentle deadlines? How about scheduling in art time alongside the weekly shop? Also featuring: Thea finishing her first short story (Holly is bleeping proud!), painting as a lifeline during lockdown, and a small amount of sports slander. Let’s dive into it!
