Your Passions Aren’t Your Guilty Pleasures

In this episode of the Creative Juice Box podcast, we discuss the reasons why you should take the "guilty" out of "guilty pleasure" when it comes to your creative work and anything else you enjoy in life.

 

We'll talk about:

✨ My previous tendencies to see my art / creative projects as "guilty pleasures" that distract from my other responsibilities

✨ How listening to what comes easiest to you and brings you joy can tap into your intuition

✨ The importance of disassociating hard work and success from pain and suffering

✨ Why you should lean into what you enjoy doing regardless of what others think about it

 

Stuff I mention:

✨ New Yorker article featuring some history on "guilty pleasures": https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/against-guilty-pleasure 

✨ NYTimes article featuring adrienne maree brown: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/01/smarter-living/guilty-pleasures-no-such-thing.html
