S5 E4: Creativity, Burnout, and a New Way of Looking at Self-Care with Addie Zierman

The creative world is full of people and places encouraging you to practice self-care. But what if the self-care that the world is promoting feels a little hollow? Addie Zierman shares with us a new way at looking at self-care on the podcast today. It’s called “resourcing” - and we think you’re going to gain a lot from this concept.

Addie Zierman is the author of When We Were on Fire (named one of Publisher’s Weekly’s Best Books of 2013) and of Night Driving: A Story of Faith in the Dark. She lives in Minnesota with her husband and two sons and blogs regularly at addiezierman.com.

Our inspiration for this episode comes from a post Addie wrote on her blog, “A Better Way To Think About Self-Care”.

Addie shared Jessica Abel’s Growing Gills workbook as something she used to get back on track creativity after a period of taking a step back.
