— Morning Pages, Sacred Practices, and Making Space for Joy

In this episode, I'm sharing what's been filling my days in the in-between season of late winter and early spring — from winter camping in the woods to planning a rustic cabin adventure with my 10-year-old, hauling gear a mile and a half through the snow.

I open up about the creative tension of not sewing as much as I'd like, and how building furniture and developing my Embodied Joy workbook have become the creative outlets calling me right now. (Sound familiar? You can't do all the things — just not all at once.)

The heart of this episode is about bringing sacredness into your everyday life. I talk about my morning ritual practice — including my experience with Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way and how the concept of truly disposable morning pages changed everything for me. No preciousness. No posterity. Just a beautiful, honest conversation with yourself that you can burn in a celebratory fire when the notebook is full.

I also share a simple but powerful idea: giving yourself a creative practice that is completely throw-away — whether that's a wonky quilt square, a sample stitch, or three pages of stream-of-consciousness — and how that kind of creative freedom can actually deepen the work that does matter.

Plus: dancing to three songs every morning, the sacred act of shoveling a path, and the small practices that connect us to what matters.
