Ahhhh, Andy J. Pizza is back… and just in the nick of time! I’m sure you know about Andy’s inspiring podcast, “Creative Pep Talk”… which was exactly what I needed today! HELP. ME. ANDY. Yep, we’re talking about creative slumps, being in limbo, feeling like a deer in headlights … and then following the breadcrumbs (or chip crumbs) back to our creative paths. Seriously, this was the therapy session I’ve been needing. I hope you get as much out of this episode as I did… you might want to get yourself some pizza-flavored chips to really duplicate the bliss I felt. Listen right up there, or subscribe on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify.
Now, as I said, this discussion was more like therapy, but Andy and I did manage to talk about some artists that we both love to look at when we’re in a creative slump! Here are my three picks:

Sigh, this is exactly what I needed to hear! Nice to know I’m not the only one going through the post-covid anxiety/creative slump/wheel spin! Thank you so much for this and all the great little tips 🙂
thanks jaclyn!

Oooo I loved this Danielle. That bit about having to let yourself play sometimes. And I totally do that thing where I immediately start thinking about how ‘useful’ playing is and often don’t let myself do it. Really appreciate Andy’s advice and your lovely podcast 🙂
