I love listening to these two. Their deep friendship casts a warm glow on every conversation and they ask all the questions I want to know the answers to. I’ve found some life changing books through this podcast too.

I love this podcast so much!
I could listen to these two talk about the creative process all day. Oh wait, I just did.
A wonderful podcast that explores the creative process from many facets, especially the trust we need to let the work lead us. Rosemerry & Christie and their guests thoughtfully converse from experience on topics like the magic, elation, anxiety, doubt, and everything that creating a work of art, or living a creative life brings with it.
