Why is it so hard for us to create, to play, as we get older? How do we get in touch with our innate inclination and need to create? How can we nurture it, hold it, make space for it with everything going on? In this episode, Joanna and Brandi talk about creativity and what it means for them. They’ll touch on the struggles and rewards of creating and Brandi will go on a rampage about four-way stop intersections. If you’d like to support the show, that’s easy!
