The Why of Creativity

September 4, 2025 · 21 min

Show notes

Summer is over and Tricia is back with a fifth series of the In Ten Years Time podcast all about maintaining your creativity. It's not unusual to set out on your creative journey and find that sustaining the momentum is actually pretty hard. Some people wonder why they don't feel happy all the time, and others get disappointed if they don't hit the big time straight away. What if neither of these mindsets is quite right? Tricia is here to guide you towards finding new inspiration, help you build good habits and identify the non-negotiable 'why' that will feed your creative engines with the fire you need to keep going, even when times are tough.
