As we continue into creativity month, I open by chattingabout the internal conflict I feel over creating content amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We dive into the Artist’s Way, and I share my experiences with the journaling technique known as morning pages. In the paid version of today’s episode, I discuss the way that sometimes my negative inner voice feels hard to shift because its criticisms seem so reasonable and logical to me, and we read through Section 3 of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic, which is all about giving yourself permission to be creative.
