Episode 5 - Making Room to Create Again
from Creative Light Podcast Hosted by Dustin Mitchell
Lately, the theme of my life has been making room. I have spent days deleting photos and videos because my phone, Google, and iCloud were all yelling at me. Storage full. Can't receive emails. Can't even take photos. Which—if you run a creative business—is not an option. The problem isn't just digital clutter. It's that everything feels too important to delete. I keep my memories. I keep everyone else's memories. I have backups on hard drives, but I also keep everything on my phone "just in case." What if I need it one day? What if this matters? What if this becomes part of the story? Meanwhile, I judge people with too much stuff… while my own phone could qualify for a TLC episode. This episode is me staring at media that goes back to 2009, realizing I didn't fix the root—I just treated the symptom. Creatively, spiritually, practically… sometimes we have to let go of what we're trying to store to make space for what we're meant to create. The best films didn't use every shot they took. They chose intentionally. Not everything needs to be remembered. 🎙️ Full episode now live.
