Description

Created by Julia Cameron in the 90s, The Artist’s Way is a 12-week creative recovery programme designed to help you unlock your creativity by overcoming common blocks like self-doubt and fear. It uses core principles like ‘morning pages’ and ‘artist dates’ to help you reconnect with your creative self, find more passion and purpose, and fulfil your creative potential.

Earlier this year, Charlie completed The Artist’s Way for the second time. In this episode, we chat about her experience and discuss five things she learned from redoing the programme. As well as sharing what she loves about Cameron’s approach, she’s brutally honest about its shortcomings.
