Such a necessary read! I personally been very caught up in the "shoulds" lately and this was a good reminder to focus more on the joy I get from the creative process — and maybe to make more monkey noises in conversations.

Haha--the monkey noises are clearly the most important take-away. Thanks Athena!

I love a lot of things in this newsletter but I PARTICULARLY love the re-framing of consistency to be defined by who we are and not what we do.

Indeed. I'm kind of clinging to that one 😅.

This is so great! I love the idea of identifying "three phases where you might be at present: Roots, Shoots, and Blooms. I love these metaphors because they highlight that we’re more like gardens than machines, each phase nurturing our growth at its own pace."

No, thank YOU Jill... you did the bulk of the work! I got to be spontaneous and ask whatever I wanted, whereas you had to actually *think* about your answers! Good thing you were well up to the task ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Wow, that was inspiring and grounding to read. This is just what I needed at a time when I have been feeling creatively burnt out and unsure how to reconnect with my creative self and that joy. This perspective shift is a powerful one. Thank you both!!
