What sparks your creativity: awkward dancing, long showers, or cleaning out junk drawers?

In this Creative Confession bonus episode, we pull back the curtain on the quirky rituals and habits that help us get unstuck and into flow.

From steamy bathroom brainstorms to social media flops and late-night paint sessions, it’s all fair game. Sometimes, the magic shows up in the mess or the mundane. And that “productive procrastination”? Yep, it counts too.

We’re celebrating the oddball moments that unlock our creativity—so share yours with us! Tag @SavedYouASeatCreative on Instagram with your favorite ritual or creative quirk.

Let’s normalize the weird and wonderful together.

In today’s conversation, we’re leaning into the idea of creative seasons—the ones we thrive in, the ones we fight, and the ones we don’t always understand. If you’ve felt off-rhythm, stuck, or like your creativity just doesn’t match the pace of everyone else’s, you’re not broken—you’re just in a different season.

Join us as we unpack what these seasons look like, how God is present in every one of them, and what it means to stop forcing constant fruitfulness and instead trust the process.

• How to recognize and respond to the season you're in creatively
• What happens when we try to force fruitfulness or "keep up"
• Scriptures that anchor us during dry, quiet, or waiting seasons
• How to encourage yourself (and others) when creativity slows down
• Speaking truth to the weary: creativity doesn't have to be constant to be meaningful

Not bearing fruit isn’t failure. It’s part of the process. Your creative life has seasons—and God is at work in all of them.

• Psalm 1:2–3 "He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."

Join us in January for Episode 8: Rhythms of Grace: Building Sustainable Habits for Life and Creativity.

In this mini bonus episode, we’re keeping it real with a few creative flops that turned into sweet lessons. From failed watercolor dreams to the wild ride that is social media, we're embracing the beauty of trying, laughing, and letting God redeem the messy middle.

This is your permission slip to show up imperfectly—because sometimes, the process is the whole point.
