When Life Gives You Lemons

Make Creative Zest

Sometimes, life doesn’t just hand you lemons—it chucks them at you. Hard. And in those moments, when energy is low and challenges keep piling up, creativity can feel like the first thing to go. But here’s the truth: creativity isn’t all-or-nothing.

In this episode of The Textile Creative Podcast, I’m sharing what happens when life forces you to slow down—and why that doesn’t mean giving up on creativity altogether. We’ll talk about:
✔ Recognizing when you need a creative reset (and why pushing through isn’t always the answer).
✔ The power of micro-tasks—tiny steps that keep your creativity alive, even when you’re running on empty.
✔ How to adjust your expectations without guilt and give yourself permission to just be.

Because sometimes, when you can’t make lemonade, making zest is enough.
