Episode 22: Are You Still an Artist When You're Not Creating?

In this little re-connection episode, Bri and Sam discuss the ebbs and flows of the creative process: what it looks like to navigate transition, creative cycles, and how to embody the artist identity, even when you are stepped away from the work. Bri shares more about how her solo travel time is impacting her creative process, while Sam shares this year's big integration of a move and how that has prevented more work from being made. At the end of it all, they lean into the deep trust for the creative process, why connecting to your own divinity is essential to creative power, and so much more! A great episode for any artist who finds themselves asking, "Am I still an artist if I'm not making work?"
