This week, I'm giving you a guide to one of my favorite books in the entire universe: Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. I break down what this 12-week program actually is, why it changed my life (and how I approached building Crown Affair before and after doing the work), and I walk you through all 12 weeks, from recovering a sense of safety in week one, to the anger and jealousy of week three, the reading deprivation of week four, all the way to recovering a sense of faith in week 12. If this book has been sitting on your shelf, or you made it to week three or four and stalled out, this episode is your sign to pick it back up.
Tune in for a breakdown of morning pages, artist dates, creative U-turns, and why growth is a spiral, not a straight line.
