Listen "Ep 206: Building Something of Your Own"
Episode Synopsis
Building the Creative Life is a podcast about choosing to prioritize creativity as we build a life that supports the lens of empathy, truth, joy, kindness, and anti greed.In this week’s episode, Chrishaun and Jenn share their excitement about progress they’re making on their creative projects. Chrishaun talks about some of the reasons people make choices against their best interests, particularly in terms of whiteness. She shares her observation that building something of your own allows you to center yourself on your own creation, rather than on your dependence on someone else or on a system that places you above others. Building something of your own brings you joy and teaches you to validate yourself.Jenn’s favorite thing was Queen Charlotte on Netflix.Chrishaun’s favorite thing was working through anxiety, knowing that failure is the first step, and not the end.Stuff we referenced in this episode:Queen CharlotteSeveranceTo learn more about Chrishaun’s games and the world of The Shaman States of America: linktr.ee/caramelsugarevilFor info about Jenn’s writing: www.JennLessmann.comFollow us on Instagram and TikTok!@CaramelSugarEvil@JennLessmannAutho
