Today, we're talking about something different. Creative hobbies and the benefits they can bring to lawyers and other professionals.

What do you do when you finally have some quiet time, after a long and stressful day of lawyering? For many, the answer includes some mindless scrolling and binge-watching. And sometimes that's exactly what we need to give our minds and bodies a break. But what fills your cup back up? Well, in this podcast, Karen and I are talking about how a creative hobby can be that thing that inspires and energizes you every day, even when you feel drained or depleted.

In this episode, we share stories and ideas from our own experiences of leaning into art, including getting started, keeping it going, fitting it into a busy life, taking it with you wherever you go, overcoming fears of the blank page and some specific ideas to try if this is all still a bit new to you.

Despite what our teachers or society may have told us over the years, we're all creative. You can do this. You might even love it.
