This is a long-awaited episode recorded back at the beginning of Covid where I dive deep into creative cycles with my good friend Misty Granade. All the wisdom stands up more than ever right now as we are all navigating creative cycles in our lives right now. Misty shares her experience and practices when she is in deep creative mode, what she does when she finishes a big project and when she is totally stuck. We have a fun, laidback chat about how we reset our brains when we're stuck or overwhelmed and navigating all the emotions and challenges that come with creating while living your life.

Meet Your Guest

Misty has always been obsessed with paint, glue, and paper. Her interests range across a variety of arts and crafts such as contemporary mixed media art, book binding, and crochet. Her current art is an exploration of the themes of women’s traditional roles and how women choose to engage or not engage those roles. In these new works, women's stories are juxtaposed with pieces of handmade crochet to further explore the line between traditional handicrafts and art. When Misty isn’t in her studio slinging paint and gluing things together, she loves to read, cook, and spend time with family and friends.
