Combining Crafts, Skills and Medium
It’s a comfort to do more of that one thing we’re already really good at, but what if we branched out? By striving to be a polymath, by extending ourselves a little bit every day, we can continue to feel fulfilled.

Reframing Rejection
Why is rejection so awful? As creatives, the pain of rejection can sometimes make us question why we’re even bothering to pursue a creative life. But Tricia thinks that there might be a different way. Can we harness this rejection into something more constructive, and amplify our creativity in the process? Inspired by her ‘one hundred rejections for Christmas’ idea, it turns out that trying really hard to get rejected might just be the secret to success. Mentioned in this episode: Does Rejection Hurt?

Embracing the Fertile Void
In series 3 of the podcast we are looking at the theme of amplifying. In this episode, Tricia discusses the ‘fertile void’. But what is it, and why is it so important? Often we get so caught up in the endless cycle of creating, that we forget that taking rest is crucial to creativity. Inspired by Gestalt theory, Tricia talks through the different stages of the process, and why the in-between moments are a must for living a creative life. How do we resist the pull of everything that demands our attention every day? And is it really that easy to do nothing?
