Creativity is Adventure w— Artist Molly Rose Freeman
Molly Rose Freeman is an artist and designer who centers pattern and color in a lot of her work as a way of celebrating connections and honoring the natural world in her work. Her work is vibrant and very alive and gives us a glimpse into all of the maximalism and LIFE with which she views the world. Today, we talk about rest and engaging with time and expectations in a way that suits our physical + emotional needs. We get into the practices that help her stay brave and resilient within her creative process + profession as well as reframing some of the ways that we experience, fear and navigate through our daily experience. I love any opportunity I get to talk with Molly, and I hope you also enjoy the bounty and vibrancy of her spirit as well.
we discuss
How we navigate the nagging feeling that “time is running out”
How she has changed her working habits away from burn out and towards curiosity
Releasing goals as the only worthwhile pursuits
Recognizing the choices (instead of rules) that make up our day and how those can create new systems
What happened when she burned out in her professional life
How taking time to rest was life-changing (and terrifying)
The practices that she uses to cultivate creative bravery and resilience
Staying body aware while engaging with social media
The importance of celebrating full moments

We started this season reflecting on the house of the goddess, and now we end where we began — carrying water medicine and the wisdom of Her with us into the summer sun.
