26. Book Club: How to Nourish Your Creative Life (Ch. 10, Women Who Run With the Wolves)

This is our Book Club episode where we discuss a chapter from our current book choice: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes. In this episode, we discuss chapter 10 "Clear Water: Nourishing the creative life”.

Summary:

This chapter focuses on creativity, teaching us how to flow with our natural cycles of activity and dormancy, and how to clean up all the toxic thoughts and beliefs that can stop us from pursuing our creative dreams. This chapter is for those of us who want to pursue a creative project, who want to paint, draw, dance, write, and make, but who get stopped by self-doubt and limiting beliefs. It’s for those of us who want to clean up our creative flow, and get unstuck, so we can start making things, and it’s for those who want to learn how to create in a way that honors our natural cycles.
