In this episode, I talk with Anni, an author, developmental editor, and writing coach, about the creative process in all its forms and rhythms. There are those times when you’re in the groove and you feel aligned with everything that’s on the page, and—maybe more often than not—there are those other times when you aren’t sure you could use a keyboard if your life depended on it. We discuss honoring your feelings in the moment AND taking the next step forward.
For the past 15 years, Anni has developed her relationship with the creative process through a dance-based meditation practice, finding commonalities between words and movement. She is a lifelong creative who uses somatics to connect her mind and body toward her creative goals and shares about the roles perfectionism, procrastination, and cold showers have in helping her to keep moving forward when things get stuck.
