No Surprises Minisode: The Importance of Taking Breaks

No Surprises

Kelsey and Mal chat about the joys, challenges, and overwhelming guilt of creative rest.

Depending on your work style, the idea of taking breaks either sounds like a perfect recharge or a panicky, stress-filled nightmare. Either way, it’s essential to the creative process — but the guilt doesn’t have to be.

In our first minisode, Kelsey and Mal sit down to talk about the importance of rest, whether it’s a walk outside, a visit to a museum, or just laying down and looking at the sky. They dig into the tension between the coulds/shoulds and what brings you joy, and the idea of knowing your own cues for when it’s time to take a breather.

Plus, we also discover that Kelsey’s dad is a pro at setting vibes through music (playlist, please?), and luxuriate in Kelsey and Mal’s descriptions of a perfectly chill, relaxed day — personal chef included.

When it’s over, we encourage you to take a breath, close your laptop or put down your phone, and go touch moss.
