Creative Fuel Dose of Creativity: Cheryl Strayed
Writer Cheryl Strayed draws some thoughtful parallels between grief and a creative state.
In our last episode of Creative Fuel, "How Do We Get Through Hard Times?" we took a look at the topic of grief - and other difficult times in our lives that we move through. As always, we covered more in our conversation than we could share in the episode. So for this Dose of Creativity, we'll hear how grief can be a rebirth, how it changes us on a cellular level, and how Cheryl Strayed recommends moving forward in the face of it.
Each episode of Creative Fuel starts with one question. In the course of researching, writing, and talking with our guests, we obviously come up with many more questions along the way. They leave us with a lot to ponder, and there are many things we don't have the space to include in our full episodes. Which is where these little doses of creativity come in.
