This episode is titled something like 5 tips for embracing your inner weird, and creating great work but the real title, the secret title is actually: 5 Lessons From a 6 ft 3.5” Rabbit.
So this rabbit I mentioned goes by the name of Harvey, and he is a pooka. (I’m not going to go into it in the episode but you should totally google what is a Pooka P-O-O-K-A)
Some of you will already know who or what I’m talking about but for everyone else, don’t worry, I haven’t totally lost the plot: I’m talking about the rabbit from the 1950s classic film Harvey, based on a play and featuring the charming James Stewart.
Why is this relevant?
I could be making an episode about any of my other fave films (Dumb and Dumber, Jacob’s Ladder, Spirited Away…) but I’m not, don’t worry. The reason Harvey is so relevant I feel, is because I’m interested in the sense that many creative introverts I know have, which is that we’re somehow on the outside, that we don’t fit in, that we’re not approved of by society, that we’re somehow doing “it” wrong (whatever it is.) Just that sense of otherness.
And that can make living the life of a creative and actually fulfilling our true dreams and pursuing our true calling/path VERY difficult. I touched on this in the Self-esteem episode, but basically: we’re all programmed to do our best to fit in to society because it makes us feel safe, it’s the smart thing to do in order to survive and not be totally outcast and left to defend ourselves.
The problem is of course, we end up squashing our creative spirit, going against our daimon in many cases, and ultimately feeling quite miserable.
So. Thankfully I have some help from my rabbit friend, and that's what I'm sharing in today's episode of The Creative Introvert!

On today's show, I'm having a conversation with Connor Frost, a Musician and Educator, hailing from just outside New York City. He has toured extensively both as a solo act and with his band, Dizzy Bats, throughout the US, as well as internationally, and has self-released seven albums over the last decade.
We talk about the fear of taking first steps, one quick tip for getting started, the situation musicians find themselves in during the pandemic and much more.

This picks up on the thread I started in the recent episode on People Pleasing, when I mentioned our habit to people please stems from our need to bolster our self-esteem, and promised an episode focussing more on that.
Since reading the book, "Birth and Death of Meaning" by Ernest Becker, I have a lot of new ideas about self-esteem and about “fitting in” to society… and about how we make meaning in our lives, full of suffering as they are.
In this week's episode of the Creative Introvert, I'll be diving into the topic of self-esteem, explaining what it is, why there isn't a problem in seeking to build our self-esteem - but that there may be a better way for us to get it.

According to the good ol Merriam-Webster: “A ritual is a sequence of activities involving gestures, words, actions, or objects, performed in a sequestered place and according to a set sequence.”
Whatever it is, ritual can be seen in a wide variety of symbolic behaviours and are incredibly common regardless of where - or when - you are on the earth.
In this week's episode of the Creative Introvert, I'm taking a look at ritual. More specifically: how we can add a sense of ritual to our creative process and by doing so, imbue our daily lives with more meaning.

On today's show, I'm having a conversation with Peter Limberg, creator of the Stoa, an online space, "where we can gather and talk about what matters most right now, at the razor’s edge." I absolutely loved having this opportunity to talk to Peter about what it means to live truthfully, facing the unknowingness, and - a pet topic of mine - the Daimon!
I hope you enjoy this chat with Peter as much as I did, and leave with even more questions than before you had before.

In this week's episode of the Creative Introvert, I'm exploring my changing definition of WHY, but also: what happens when your WHY (reason to do/be whatever it is you do/are) needs to change. What happens when thought you had a WHY and it’s sort of... stopped working?

Are you a "people pleaser"? This is something that I hear creative introverts say a LOT about themselves, and I thought it was time to tackle this in today's episode. I cover why people pleasing isn't necessarily a bad thing, as well as what happens when it gets out of control - and what to try in order to remedy that.

You might have heard of the concept of a Muse before. Even if you haven’t considered it in the way I’ll speak of it today, you’ll have said it: amusement, bemused, museum, music
I argue it’s more than just mere entertainment - we’re speaking about something that captivates us - like a great work of art in a museum or the first time you heard your favourite band live - more of a trance, when we encounter the muse.
Nine journal prompts and an customisable invocation to the Muse, available at thecreativeintrovert.com/muse (nine because the Muses in greek myth were the nine sisters, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, which means ‘memory.’ Their job was to inspire artists and each Muse was responsible for a different art.)
