Episode 149: "Inner Child & Trying New Things" (ft. Eliah Edelson)

On this week's episode of "The Smoke Break", we hung out with the delightful artist and dinosaur super fan Eliah Edelson.

We began with the joy and terror of trying to learn or experience new things. Why is that such a universally amazing and awful thing to do?!

Then we talked about creative burnout—what do you do when you get stuck, how do you find whimsy and lightness in it again, what if it's also tied to your income or identity?

And we wrapped things up with tending to our inner child—what would the kid version of ourselves be most surprised by about our current lives? How do we make sure we're doing right by that tiny version of ourselves? How do we treat ourselves tenderly?

Episodes drop weekly when our own mental health lets us. Thanks for listening.
