This month’s mini-salon with Sarah Kokernot of Your Wild and Radiant Mind had Big Equinox Vibes. Whether you’ve been lazing around on a beach all summer or fighting the winter doldrums, fall/spring are here to get your butt back into gear! We discussed how each of jumpstart projects or a creative habit before diving into reader questions like how to power through novel revisions and how to quiet the anxiety that comes during periods when you’re absorbing art more than creating it.

Check out the recording of the session below, as well as some additional resources and links to help you fight overwhelm (or inertia) and revive a project or an artistic practice.

We’ll have one more mini-salon before we sign off for 2025 (what the hell, where did time go, etc etc). Stay tuned for details on that!

See you next month!
