Catching up on this episode a few days late but would love it if you guys could do something on the whole changing hats thing. As a new mum, I often struggle to find time to write and when I do get that "creative hat" back on I also worry it doesn't fit as well as it used to
I remember listening to JLB (insert theme song here) and Marissa Meyers talking about creativity, and how it shifts repeatedly in parenthood. I don’t remember exactly how they phrased it, but my takeaway was: your hat might not fit the same way it used to. You may have to figure out a new way for it to fit. You still have all that creativity in you, but the way you access it changes with your life, your schedule, your routine, etc. It’s hard, but important!
