Creativity, Boundaries, and Sustainable Activism with Author Kitty Stryker

Staying Creative in Difficult Times: How to Keep Your Spark When the World Feels Heavy How can you protect your energy, stay creative, and build meaningful collaborations without burning out? In this episode of Your Creative Mind, I talk with author and activist Kitty Stryker, who has spent over a decade shaping conversations around consent culture, sustainable activism, and healthy creative practices. You’ll learn how to set boundaries that honor your work, pace yourself so your creativity stays strong, and choose your battles with intention. Kitty also shares practical strategies for balancing art and activism, collaborating with respect, and finding joy even when the world feels heavy. If you’re a writer, artist, or changemaker seeking ways to sustain your creativity, this conversation offers tools and inspiration to help you live with more curiosity, confidence, and compassion. https://thornapplepress.com  https://kittystryker.com/  http://medium.com/@kittystryker  https://trash-panda-periodical.ghost.io/  https://bsky.app/profile/kittystryker.bsky.social  https://www.facebook.com/officiallykittystryker  https://thornapplepress.ca/books/love-rebels/ This week's card Connect with Izolda Get exclusive content and bonus podcast episodes when you join my Patreon.
