    Grief journal #8 How creativity can heal (and harm)

    I received a really good question about how creativity can heal or harm from a listener and am answering the best I can! I talk about how being creative makes me feel, key creative experiences and also ways in which structural problems show up in creative practice.  I would love to hear from you if you have a question for me too: https://www.speakpipe.com/YarrowM and you can join my Substack and Spark Sessions over here: https://yarrow.substack.com/ Love, Yarrow

    Grief journal #7 - wanting more simplicity and planning a low buy year

    In this episode I am talking about craving even more simplicity in my life, decluttering really hard and planning for a low buy year. I pulled everything out of my wardrobe again, sold a whole bunch and made a few well considered purchases. I feel peaceful in my commitment to buy very little next year and really hopeful to grow as a maker and learn more about why I buy for comfort and how I might shift that.  You can join my Substack and the free Spark sessions over here: https://yarrow.substack.com/ Love, Yarrow

My wonderful guest is Danette Relic, who was also on episodes 116 and 48 (back in 2018, the before times!). Danette is sadly a fellow griever who also lost a parent this year, so in this episode we're chatting about keeping our magic safe, what we learned from past heartbreaks and how we see the value of feeling all the feelings. There is, in short, a whole lot of permission in here, plus a very exciting giveaway for Danette's book Crash Bloom (which will be such a great winter companion/Christmas gift).  Danette Relic is an author, artist and coach, married to herself since 2001. From a young age, Danette was inspired by reading, drawing, using her imagination, and falling in love.  She is a self-projected Projector in Human Design, a Sagittarius Sun, Libra Rising with a Gemini Moon who takes her pleasure seriously. Her passion for self discovery, relationships and creativity shapes her work and her life in every way. You can hear her explore these themes on her podcast, The Soft Shoulder.
