Today I’m sharing another podcast featuring a conversation with
and Dan Keck. We meet weekly to talk about our creative projects. If you’re curious about the backstory of these gatherings, go here. This week, we focused on why we resist or procrastinate our creative work. We pressed record about 15 minutes into our conversation. We had been talking about dream work, dharma sprints, death cookies, and Phil Stutz (see resources below for more info).
Our conversation also touches upon Internal Family Systems (IFS) work, logbooks, rituals, and the role of spirituality in fueling creativity.
