143. Living a Well Rounded Creative Life

The Laura Horn Art Podcast

Show Notes

I wasn’t sure what to call this week’s episode as we chat about so many things. Yoga, social anxiety, the progress I have been making on my paintings, accounting, books, Netflix - it’s a mixed bag!

Then it came to me. While I haven’t been painting as much lately, my life has felt rich with creativity. I’ve had time to discover new passions and I have finally learned how to take breaks and tackle tasks in short bursts.

Could it be that I am living a well rounded creative life and finding balance in this busy world?

It’s not perfect but it feels like I am on the right path. Or at least the right path for now!

Richie and I muse on this in today’s episode and share plenty of laughs along the way. We hope the episode provides inspiration for your own multi-faceted creative life!

In this episode, Richie shares a simple mindset tool for checking in on how we’re doing. Are we flat chat and edging towards burnout?
