The Creative Cut Up

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!
