Grief, Loss & Creativity Pt 3: Guarded Heart & Creative Block | Ep 91

In this episode, I reflect on how grief, burnout, and long-term responsibility can create creative blocks by compressing identity and keeping us stuck in survival mode. I share insights from my own recovery journey, exploring how rest, boundaries, autonomy, and gentle self-compassion can help rebuild creativity, restore aliveness, and reconnect us with our authentic selves.Got thoughts or feedback?
