Episode 15: How to Start Creating Again After Abandoning Your Art
Jun 04, 2024
The Creative Cut Up podcast is a lively and honest space for storytellers that sits at the intersection of craft, business, and creative freedom.
Join us weekly, where Felicia Pride and her co-hosts, Dria Roland and Georgette Pierre, talk shop and smack, share the good, the bad, and the ugly, and provide tangible tips to support your creative practice, your career, and your artist self.
We’ve all needed pick me ups to get back to our work but the one mistake we have made as artists was walking away from our craft. In this episode, we cut up about getting unstuck, our creative comeback and challenges, and how The Creative Comeback Workbook & Journal was one way for us to get back to our creative practice.
If you’ve been needing a jump start, no more excuses. Sign up for The 21 Day Creative Comeback Challenge starting in June. Your creative self will thank you later!
