This is a very personal episode, but one I felt was worth sharing (and I promise it's not crazy traumatic or anything!). Walk with me, (Annie) through my process of realizing why “Play” in creativity or even just in being playful in life has felt so uncomfortable for a long time. This is a personal discovery that feels vulnerable to share, but was such a huge barrier belief that I didn’t even realize was impacting me in so many areas of my life! This first step of awareness felt so freeing already & I wanted to share it with you too! Because these are the kinds of conversations that I have helped inspire healing, empathy, & growth in my own life, and I feel so honored to share!Find Resources & Links from this Episode HereJoin the Wyrd Byrd Community on InstagramProduced By Clair Studios
