Episode 12: Return

I am starting to finally get out of the creative rut that I've been in for the past year and a half, and it's so exciting! But, how did I get in a rut? How did I get out of it? And what about everything in between? What I've learned throughout the past couple of months is that true emotional health is being able to sit presently with all of the happy thoughts and feelings, as well as the not-so-happy thoughts and feelings. Blind contentedness is not actually contentedness at all; it's apathy. And we cannot grow and create from a place of apathy. It's not something I could talk myself out of, but it is truly by God's grace that I am starting to feel like who I was created to be. I am feeling like myself again for the first time in a long time, and I wanted to walk through the process with you guys because it's not something that happens over night. It is a continual process, and we are not alone. For those who have felt lost, I hope that this episode can remind you that there is always a way to return.
