The Stuck Artist: Moving Through Creative Stickiness in Grief

This weeks episode is a bit of a diary dump. Verbal diarrhoea if you will!I've been feeling a bit stuck, if I'm totally honest. Creatively constipated, and it's been tough. As I've been grappling with the unfolding of my new identity since Poppy's death, the penny has well and truly finally dropped as to what that means for me as a creative. How this grief and life changing loss has sculpted my creative identity and the rut I'm in at the moment. It's very kitchen table-esque style. It might make sense to some of you and if it does, I'd really really love to hear from you. I know I need community in this experience to see me through, I want community in this experience.So if you identify as a creative in any shape or form and relate to this or have navigated through this creative ickiness in grief, please do reach out. I'd really love to be in touch and find ways we can navigate through this together. Find our creative selves again and welcome all the new unfolding parts of ourselves.Big love,Amber xxxConnect with The Grief Gang community:Enquire about Grief Gang 1:1 and group circle mentoring hereBook onto a Grief Gang group circle hereInstagramTwitterFacebookYoutubeTikTokSubstackWebsiteIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and leave a review.
