Stress, Sketchbooks and Sustainability
EPISODE 106
We’re back! Over the past 6 weeks, we’ve been busy getting our house ready for sale and preparing to move. It’s been a crazy time full of mixed emotions. One thing that Richie and I didn’t realise was just how much stress we’ve been holding on to.
In this episode, Richie shares his fears of not being able to sell our home after being burned before in the global financial crisis. Meanwhile, I talk about pulling back from social media, getting off the content creation hamster wheel, and finding comfort in my sketchbooks.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
A few things we talk about:
An update on our house moving journey, including the impact that the stress has had on our creativity and family life.
Reaffirming our values and dedication to creating a lifestyle rather than a business.
Getting off the content hamster wheel and only creating and releasing work that we feel good about.
Making Vlogs (video blogs) again and our hesitancy about using YouTube as a platform.
Watching The Social Dilemma on Netflix and evaluating our social media habits.
Refocusing on email as a communication tool within our community.
The latest PDF on the resources page - 10 Tips to Improve Your Painting.
Working only in my sketchbook for the month of October.
