Episode 106: Rosemerry & Christie on How to Step Out of the Self-Loathing Spiral

It happens. We screw up. Sometimes, mid creative process, we realize we need to start over again. In this episode, we look at one of Rosemerry’s recent midnight bouts with “uh oh” and how it became a chance to explore trust in the process and trust in the creative self. “It was so empowering, so exciting, so revolutionary for my creative process to have this ability to be able to move forward with compassion toward myself instead of shaming of the self,” she says. In this heartfelt episode, Christie and Rosemerry explore vulnerability, authenticity, the gift of struggle, radical acceptance and the benefits of creating a cocoon of tenderness for the creative self.
