Creating With Constraints

Creating With Constraints

What happens when you know you’re creative but your life just doesn’t reflect it? 

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve “lost” your creativity or aren’t showing up the way you should be, you’re not alone.  

So many of us carry this quiet tension between who we believe we are as artists and what our real lives actually allow. And often, that gap becomes a place of shame, self-doubt, and questioning. 

In this episode, Sarah sits down with writer, artist, and creativity coach Catherine LaSota to gently unravel that tension. Together, they explore what it really means to live a creative life — not in ideal conditions, but in the midst of real, full, complicated lives. This conversation offers a reframe: your creativity isn’t gone… it’s evolving.
