The Beauty of Being A Bit Much (w/ special visitor Lyndsay Rush)

Send us Fan MailIn today's episode we sit down with writer and creative director Lyndsay Rush to talk about the beauty of embracing chaos, from confetti-level messes to the emotional “big whoop” moments (that toddlers apparently understand better than adults). We dig into the permission slip her book A Bit Much gives all of us who feel things loudly, exploring how humor becomes both a coping mechanism and a creative compass (especially when you’re standing in pink platform Crocs holding a bag of Doritos for emotional support). Together, we navigate the tightrope between sharing your life online and keeping the sacred stuff actually sacred, the joy and terror of making art in public, why authenticity is its own superpower, and how to stay creatively alive in an AI world. Joy, messiness, big feelings, lippies, chippies, sprinkles, and sincerity...we cover a lot. And honestly? It’s a bit much in the most wonderful way. We talk about:♥ Navigating the online world as a creative.♥ The freedom that comes with being misunderstood.♥ Rewriting the narrative of being 'Too Much.'♥ Rituals for joy and the future of creativity.For bonus content and episode info, visit: https://www.theconfettibar.com/podcast/episodes/s4e4-beauty-being-bit-much-lyndsay-rushAbout Lyndsay: Lyndsay Rush is a writer, creative director, and the author of the book A Bit Much, which is this brilliant, funny, heartfelt collection of poems about feeling deeply, laughing at yourself, and finding meaning in all the weird, wonderful chaos of being human.
