CPT #121: Find Your Sanctuary

from Follow Your Curiosity: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Creativity. · host Nancy Norbeck

If you’ve been feeling demoralized by the 24-hour news cycle and the weight of the world, you aren't alone and you aren't broken. In this video, we explore why creating a safe haven for yourself isn’t about denial or being "unproductive"—it’s about reclaiming the aliveness you need to keep going. Most advice tells you to "stay informed" until you're exhausted or "just crush it" despite the chaos. On this podcast, I provide a sanctuary for messy, joyful creativity for people who are tired of the pressure to perform when the world feels like it’s burning. My Promise to You: 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ll never tell you to force productivity through resistance. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I won’t ask you to ignore your intuition or reality to fit an ideal. 😁 I will never imply you are "broken" because you need a break. What we’re exploring today: The News Cycle Cost: Why it’s okay to say "no" to the constant beating at your attention. Creativity as Survival: Why awe, wonder, and beauty are the things that make being here worthwhile. Finding Five Minutes: How to give yourself permission to pull back and reconnect with yourself. Sound good? If so, subscribe so you don't miss our upcoming guidance on escaping the 'shoulds'! And if you need a safe place to come and be with others right now, I invite you to join us for our next free Creativity Circle. (Don't forget to confirm your subscription!)
