E9. How to Steal Fire from the Gods (The Radical Rebellion of Living a Creative Life)
b'
This week I'm back on the topic of creativity and why it's so important for creative people to give themselves radical permission to do their creative work. So many of us struggle with guilt over taking the time and space for our work. In this episode I talk about how to channel Trickster energy to give us the confidence to do our creative work anyway - whether or not we have the support of people in our lives, it makes any money, or we're scared of the changes it might cause if we truly commit to being creatives. You'll hear about why logical thinking isn't going to help when we are trying to decide if we have a right to make time and space for our creative work, and how the Trickster archetype can help us realize that simply wanting to do it is enough of a reason. Plus, I discuss why and how creative work can help intuitive, creative types heal from the trauma they accrue living in rational, capitalist societies. If you are in need of a pep talk, this is the episode for you!
