Ep 38 Gestate to Create ~ Indigo & Rose

In today’s episode we explore the importance of incubation (or gestation) in the creative process. In creating Mothers at Midnight we’ve found that we needed space and time to allow our ideas to form, when we tried to push things along we inevitably ran into more challenges and things just didn’t feel right. Learning to slow down, follow the creative process and allow it to take shape in a way that feels authentic for us has been a big learning curve. We sat down together (well, actually we huddled by the heater with a glass of wine) to reflect on the process of creating a new project and why it’s necessary to embrace periods of gestation in all aspects of our lives.We chat about:Letting go of needing to control the creative processLearning to tune into what feels genuine and authentic and bringing our full selves to the process The link between gestation and how we birth creative projects The gifts and challenges of learning to balance being and doing and why being overly productive can hinder the creative processLetting go of perfectionism and embracing vulnerabilityTuning into the higher self and allowing it to guide the processHow to know its the right time to share our creations with othersWays to connect with us:Email [email protected] out our Patreon pageJoin us for a Vital Journey!Starting February 24th, a Vital Journey is a 12 week online program to support you to transform your health and experience true vitality now and into the future, naturally.A Vital Journey is the creation of Alicia Melrose, a wildly talented and experienced medical herbalist, Indigo’s talented mamma and past podcast guest.
