Is now the time to finish your book? You’re stuck at home for fourteen days with nothing else to do. What are the pitfalls of having time to create? What can we do to support ourselves if we are forced to create in isolation?

Are you sacrificing your creative calling for a "should"? Amie and James talk about working from internal motivation rather than external expectations.

Amie and James talk about why this is the best time in history to be a creative. They discuss the opportunities of the modern connection economy and what it means for you.

They talk about their own experience with sharing their artistic journeys and what we can learn from artists who have leveraged the connection economy successfully.

Amie and James talk about practices they use to support their creativity. We focus on journaling but also talk about meditation, reading, going for walks and sharing our work with others. A garbage truck collecting glass outside our house features heavily.

How do we deal with our family and friends not understanding our creativity. What can we do when they don't respect our time to write or create or when they think we are selfish for taking ourselves seriously? How can we find people who understand who we are and what we do.

Amie is in a terrible mood, after posting a bad rejection letter. James discusses the art of giving and receiving feedback on our art, and Amie gets angry and grumbles. (James wrote this description…)

Alexis Rakun, artist, writer + lifter of the veil, chats to Amie about her journey as a creative. We discuss the spiritual practises that keep us full and fuelled, manifestation, journalling, synchronicity and the importance of using your voice.
