Chasing Creative

S4 E25: Creating in the Chaos

Episode Summary

In our last episode of Season 4, we’re chatting about how we keep creating even in chaotic seasons. Most of us have plans and dreams for the way we want our lives to go, but here in the real world, life is messy and unpredictable, and things rarely go as planned. When things go off the rails, creativity is often the first thing to take the hit. Sometimes scaling back is necessary, but we also believe there are ways we can prioritize creating even when we’re living right in the middle of chaos.

We will be back for a Season 5 at some point… but we’re not really sure when. To get updates on when we do, sign up for our newsletter. We promise it is the lowest-commitment email newsletter you will ever sign up for, because we send about one email a year.
