Episode 84: Visibility, Photography, and The Creative Journey with Danielle Cohen

"Authenticity is something we all crave so deeply and yet it's gotten a little bit of a bad rap because it was commodified, thrown around, played out, if there can be such a thing." — Danielle Cohen

Resources Mentioned:

“I've seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house before they could sit down to write... and you know it's a funny thing about housecleaning... it never comes to an end. Perfect way to stop a woman. A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectabilty) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.”― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Eat Well,
