Hi friend,

Week 3 of The Artist's Way is about recovering a sense of power. Julia Cameron warns you going in: expect unexpected bursts of anger, grief, or joy this week. She's not wrong.

Jen came in feeling affirmed. A lot of what this chapter names, she's already been living. Jess came in resistant, especially around anger. She'd rather run two miles through it than let anyone witness it.

What cracked this conversation open was Jen watching her kids get really angry and instead of wanting to shut it down, feeling something closer to awe. Yes. You're alive. You're standing up for yourself. It's easy to celebrate that in a two-year-old. Almost impossible to give yourself permission to do it.

We also get into what your inner child's best qualities reveal about what you've quietly set aside, what synchronicity actually feels like when you stop waiting for permission, and what happens to shame when you stop keeping it in the dark.

We think you’re going to love this one.

Jess & Jen
