3 Things For Your Creative Resistance Tool Kit vol. 1

JUL 31, 202528 MIN

Description

Sometimes the work is hard.

Or maybe the work is rewarding but the context is hard.

And we need to reset our nervous system, rediscover joy in human connection, and remember that progress is still happening even when it feels like society is tumbling backward.

What you read, watch, attend, join, share, listen to (you get the idea) MATTERS. I'm offering you 3 things that are helping me enjoy connecting with others through creative projects and seeking out inspiration to combat the overwhelming feelings in today's socio-political climate.
