When A Traditional Job Takes The Pressure Off And Increases Creativity Energy

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we cover:When we experience an unexpected career pivot, why does the guilt and shame show up? Bri describes feeling a need to "Explain things to someone who doesn't exist." Does social media trigger our inner critics in a more intense way?When preoccupation with making money derails our creativity and curiosity, and how a more traditional, stable job took the pressure off and opened Bri up to prioritizing her art in a different way. A simple mindset shift from "How is this going to benefit my business" to "How is this going to help me in my practice, aka my art," can make a huge difference. Setting emotional boundaries + the two amazing household hacks that Bri has found to set priorities in light of her new job. The ripple effect of being our best selves and inspiring our kids: "I don't want to become who I'm becoming for my children. . . but it's a nice side effect." In this episode of The Mother Plus Podcast, we are bringing back our first guest ever—mother + artist + teacher Bri Hill. Bri fills us in on what she's been up to in the last year, the big career change that has shifted her goals, and how she's evolved as a mother, artist, and person.
