The Creative Cure with Writer and Creative Guide Jacob Nordby

Hello! Welcome to Artists Rising!

Today's episode is an interview with writer and creative guide, Jacob Nordby, author of the book, The Creative Cure. 

In this conversation we talk about his story of having to start over led him to creativity, his recommended key tools from his book, The Creative Cure, the power of journaling, the incredible legacy of Julia Cameron and The Artist’s Way, Meditation as a creative tool, how learning to listen to his intuition was what made him feel like a real artist, cultivating more joy, how the healing process connects to creativity, creating from joy and love and not fear, the creative self journaling process, 

In the BONUS episode this week we talk about specific questions we can ask ourselves in order to rewrite our own stories if we are experiencing something painful, bringing curiosity into our process, and the link between perfectionism and rejection.
