Kelsey and Mal chat about the joys, challenges, and overwhelming guilt of creative rest.
Depending on your work style, the idea of taking breaks either sounds like a perfect recharge or a panicky, stress-filled nightmare. Either way, it’s essential to the creative process — but the guilt doesn’t have to be.
In our first minisode, Kelsey and Mal sit down to talk about the importance of rest, whether it’s a walk outside, a visit to a museum, or just laying down and looking at the sky. They dig into the tension between the coulds/shoulds and what brings you joy, and the idea of knowing your own cues for when it’s time to take a breather.
Plus, we also discover that Kelsey’s dad is a pro at setting vibes through music (playlist, please?), and luxuriate in Kelsey and Mal’s descriptions of a perfectly chill, relaxed day — personal chef included.
When it’s over, we encourage you to take a breath, close your laptop or put down your phone, and go touch moss.
