4. Lean into the funk | On the creative life
Description
As I began to try to develop an idea to celebrate my dad, who passed away in 2019, I slowly started getting into a funk. And I guess the first reaction is to deny it, to power through and do the work. But as much as I tried, something was wrong. So I decided to listen, just like I learned when he passed away and I had to sit with my body a listen to what it was telling me throughout that first year and ever since, I needed to listen to my body. So I figured the only way out of the funk was through it. I leaned into it to see what it was, was I stuck creatively? was I missing my dad? was I feeling depressed? What had gotten me into falling down a hole of negative thoughts and anhedonia? If you'd like to accompany me in this episode of Intomesee, I'll share with you what that was like, and the process of going through and out of this funk. Thank you for being here.
