#25: You Are Not Alone
April 12th, 2019 · 63 minutes
This week, Tempest and Aleen talk about how to stay creative under the mental toll of life in America in 2019; the importance of friends, family, and community to sustain your creativity; using data to figure out what works for you, without judgment; when you should or shouldn’t listen to “experts” about how to create better; and why it’s good to ask for help when you need it. (Even, or especially, in the form of cat pictures.)
