EP169: Season 6 Opener: Creating and Recreating Our Own Creative Process

The And She Looked Up Podcast

In the Season 6 opener of the podcast, Melissa and Heather jump into the deep end to talk about creating our creative process. When was the last time you questioned why you create the way you do? Have you mixed things up lately? Moved your desk? Painted outside? Tried to find a way to make a dreaded task more fun?
Sometimes, we get into a rut, or a comfortable groove that doesn't push us forward. Or we procrastinate over parts of bigger projects because the process is... well... gross. So here's your reminder that we, as creatives, get to CREATE - or RECREATE our own creative process!
This is a great episode for creatives who...

• are feeling stuck
• need a fresh start
• have trouble finishing projects
• procrastinate over certain tasks
• feel overwhelm when they walk past their creating space
