“The times that I feel not creative are usually because I’ve been away from myself, or because I’m avoiding speaking or admitting the truth to myself.”
Jess Janz is an artist and writer who connects strangers through her Instagram poetry and monthly dinner series. Our conversation is divided into two parts.
In Part One, we discuss:
- Why monetizing your art can both help and hurt your creativity
- When to share your art publicly versus keep it to yourself
- How to cultivate an environment that promotes a daily creativity practice
“Where is your life on auto-pilot? Auto-pilot is often protecting us from looking at the things we need to change.”
In Part Two, we look at:
- Why naming what you want can feel so uncomfortable
- How to stop intellectualizing what you feel
- How to overcome a resistance to change
