Episode Details

In episode three, podcast hosts and singer-songwriters Katie Phillips and Karen Joy Brown unpack the first of five elements that support a joyful, sustainable creative life: listening. Practices like morning pages and the artist’s date from Julia Cameron’s widely popular book The Artist’s Way are investigated and clarified by personal examples of how to get past the clutter and listen to the soul. They perform and discuss original songs, Oh, Mama and Bones in relation to the topic.
