Unravel the complex dance between expectation and artistic expression with Creativity Coach Sarah Cook. Together, we navigate the delicate equilibrium of creativity and business, dissecting the challenge of preserving the sanctity of art while running our businesses. Let this conversation be your compass in reclaiming the joy of creativity, delving into the principles of anti-extractivism and the beauty of a dynamic partnership with our creative selves. Sarah's insights promise a wealth of knowledge for not just artists and entrepreneurs, but anyone seeking a deeper connection with their creative spirit.

This episode is a tapestry woven with personal anecdotes, where I share the constant evolution of my relationship with creativity—from the pressures of generational expectations to the transformative power of aligning one's work with their identity. Listen as we contemplate the significance of the words we choose and how terms like 'reciprocity' can reshape our understanding of productivity. These narratives guide us to foster a creative practice that's not only a source of income but a wellspring of personal fulfillment.

If you are listening to this episode before March 13, 2024, I'd love to invite you to join us for a live workshop that Sarah is teaching for my community: Partnering with Your Creativity. The details to sign up can be found RIGHT HERE.
