Embrace Creativity and Growth: Hobbies and Failure with Genay Peavey and Susan Sanders
There is something out there for everyone, and it doesn't have to be the same thing for everyone.
Ever wondered how to make time for creativity in a busy life? In this episode of 'Conscious Contact', hosts Genay Peavey and Susan Sanders chat about the joys and challenges of hobbies. They dive into how activities like cooking, quilting, and digital photography not only enrich their lives but also help them stay grounded and present. Susan shares her passion for digital scrapbooking, while Genay talks about her love for cooking and quilting.
They highlight that hobbies can be intimidating at first, especially when you're just starting out. But they emphasize that failure is a natural part of the learning process. Embracing a beginner's mindset can open doors to new experiences and personal growth. The hosts also discuss how connecting with others through shared interests can be incredibly rewarding. Cooking, for instance, allows Susan to express her love language—words of affirmation—and find joy in the ingredients she uses.
They also touch on how hobbies can serve as a form of self-care, helping to combat perfectionism and offering a sense of accomplishment. Starting small and exploring different interests is key, they say. The freedom that comes from accepting failure can lead to growth and new levels of creativity. If you're looking for inspiration to pick up a new hobby or embrace failure in your creative pursuits, this episode is a must-listen.
