About this listen

In this episode, we're tackling the idea of preciousness in creativity and how it can be a roadblock to our artistic growth. I share my personal struggle with making my art "precious" and how it has held me back from truly diving into creative play and experimentation. I talk about my love for sketchbooks, my fear of making mistakes, and how the concept of "precious" has paralyzed my progress.

I'll open up about my new approach to art – embracing the messy, the imperfect, and the raw – and how it has already started to transform my creative journey. We'll discuss the importance of allowing ourselves to create "bad" art, to learn from those experiences, and to revel in the process rather than the perfect end result. This episode is all about giving yourself permission to make art that isn't "precious," to fail forward, and to enjoy every step of your creative process.

Join me as we learn and grow together, breaking free from the chains of perfection and discovering the true joy and magic that comes with rest, creativity, and play. Let's make a commitment to ourselves to create freely, make mistakes boldly, and celebrate all the art that comes from a liberated, playful heart.

xoxo, Denise Christenson Rae
