Creative Inertia

September 11, 2025 · 26 min

Show notes

There’s an inevitable moment in any creative’s journey where the juices stop flowing and we reach a state of inertia. Maybe you’ve noticed it, or maybe – even more dangerously – you haven’t! Either way, acting before we hit rock bottom is critical. Tricia explores how to avoid inertia creeping into our craft and how we can empower ourselves to make a change to embrace more creativity without completely upturning our lives.


How can you continue to surprise and delight your creative self?
