It's the first episode of 2021! In episode 11, I'm encouraging you to let go of expectations, shift your mindset, and learn to get into the flow. Whether it's creativity, resolutions and goal setting, or day to day things that you generally don't enjoy, you can learn to take steps to feel better, happier and hit your stride. I discuss things such as crafting with kids, starting a running program, cleaning, and of course, painting, to share how we all face these same limiting beliefs, and how we can start to shift them to a more positive, proactive mindset.

017. Our Creative Roots, Thoughts on Education, and Healing with Art
Trigger warning: the end portion of this episode discusses loss and grief, and may be heavy for certain audiences. In episode 17, we sit down and reminisce over memories of learning various crafts and skills, from crochet and sewing, to favorite things we enjoyed seeing our mom make, our own creative experiments, and some creative things we discovered we do NOT enjoy through trying new things. We also discuss various learning styles and the current state of public education. And we end the episode discussing special and meaningful things that other people have made for us, which leads to emotional discussion of grief and healing through art and creativity.
016. How We Communicate, and Welcome Andrea to the Podcast!
Welcome back to the podcast! If you're new to Creative, Happy Life - we're glad you're here! This is the first episode in a new chapter, co-hosting as sisters and people with some shared life experience, as well as individual views and interests. It's the podcast I dreamed of when I started in 2019, sharing conversations, having laughs, getting into some nitty gritty topics, and geeking out over creative ideas.
In this episode, we discuss reconnecting as family and humans, how people have different styles of communication and conversation, and we ask the big question - what IS creativity?

013. Being a Multipassionate Person
Are you a multi-passionate person? Have you heard that word before? I heard it for the first time a couple years ago, and things started to click together in my mind and in my heart, about my creative interests, skills, and the work I wanted to do. And surprising to absolutely no one, it meant going against the grain, shattering expectations, and ensuring I was the writer of my own story.
