40. Searching for White Space


Nature expands and contracts, and so do we. It’s normal to experience periods of needing more rest, longing for time off after completing a big project, or craving the freedom to write in our journals without worrying about what the words might (or should) become. But because we’re conditioned to link our productivity to self-worth, we’re not always practiced in the art of releasing.  Join me as we explore what it looks like to offer ourselves more spaciousness, how to take intentional pauses, and why it’s essential to honor our personal and creative needs in any season. 

Highlights

  • White space on the page vs. white space in our creative lives

  • A personal update on why my life was put on pause this spring

  • Why nature isn’t productive 24/7 (and we shouldn’t be either)

  • Struggling with resistance when taking time to rest

  • My 4-step process for cultivating white space in any season
