You were not created to produce. You were created to exist—freely, thoroughly, and in the details of you.In this rich and deeply personal episode, Dana Tenille Weekes invites us to pause the production line of life and answer a powerful call: the call to create. Not for performance, not for praise—but for freedom, for joy, and yourself.Dana unpacks the difference between producing—something we do for others, often at our own expense—and creating, which centers and celebrates the very core of who we are. Through story, reflection, and challenge, she shifts the focus from output to self-liberation.⏱ Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction to The Rest of Us Podcast00:51 – Inspiration for This Episode01:59 – Creating vs. Producing02:49 – National Poetry Month and Creativity04:02 – The Importance of Creating05:26 – Defining Producing and Its Impact07:18 – The Exhaustion of Producing09:40 – The Concept of Consumption11:24 – The Power of Creating13:18 – Identity Outside of Producing14:33 – Generational Freedom and Expression17:14 – The Call to Create Journey17:55 – Practical Tips for Creating26:35 – Reflection and Commitment Daily reflection prompts to go deeper:How do I feel after creating for 10 minutes?What is this unlocking within me?When can I create next?30:20 – Conclusion and Community Engagement Dana encourages you to join the community on Instagram, share your journey, and reclaim your creativity on your terms.🎨 Join the 7-Day Call to Create Journey. 📱 Follow along on Instagram @therestofus.podcast and LinkedIn for prompts, check-ins, and community care. You are not just here to produce.
