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.

Amie and James discuss how difficult it can be when we share our work and either people respond badly, or no one responds at all.
Amie and James talk about the stories we are told around being lazy. We talk about how we integrate laziness into each of our days.
James and Amie discuss what direction they personally want to take with their novels, and they look into the pros and cons of both options. Amie processes a lot of shit she's been thinking about in the last six months in regards to this issue.
Poet Brooke Solis talks to Amie about rebelling against the systems that try to keep us small and making art without the constraints of other people's rules.
