She\u2019s the author of Drinking Games, a fellow Brown alumna, and now we\u2019re co-hosting a Cape Cod retreat together (May 29th\u201331st at the Ocean Edge Resort\u2026 which we talk about and are very excited about, obviously). We recorded this one in person, and it turned into the kind of conversation that just lingers in the best way. I walked away from it feeling so inspired and honestly a little more like myself again on the songwriting & creativity front \u2014 which is always how I know something\u2019s good. We talk about creativity in a very real, lived-in way, from writing our books to those phases where nothing is flowing, to what actually shifts when you stop trying to grip it so tightly. We get into this idea that creativity isn\u2019t something you force or control, it\u2019s something you become available for: through space, trust, timing, and yes, sometimes letting yourself be BORED. It\u2019s honest, it\u2019s grounding, and whether you're a writer or you enjoy another creative act, if you\u2019ve been feeling even a little disconnected from your creativity, I think this will feel like a deep exhale. In this episode, we\u2019re also sharing the heart behind our upcoming Cape Cod retreat: a weekend for creativity, clarity, and a full \u201cI feel like myself again\u201d reset. From May 29th\u201331st at the Ocean Edge Resort, we\u2019ll be gathering by the ocean for a few days of subconscious rewiring, creative flow, and deep restoration. Think slow mornings, cozy writing nooks, beach walks that turn into breakthroughs, and space to actually follow your ideas. I\u2019ll be leading EFT tapping sessions to clear creative blocks at the root and help you reconnect with that natural, inspired momentum\u2026 so you\u2019re not just thinking about what you want to create, you\u2019re finally in it. If you\u2019ve been craving a reset, a spark, or space to come back to yourself, this is your invitation \ud83d\udc8c ALL INFO HERE: https:\/\/www.oceanedge.com\/wellness-retreats\/sober-curious-retreat ","author_name":"Big Conversations with Haley Hoffman Smith","author_url":"http:\/\/www.haleyhoffmansmith.com","html":"
