[Circle Insider]: The Key Ingredient of Creativity

Throughout June, we are taking time to rest here at the Travel Media Lab podcast, and we will be returning with a new season in July. Until then, we are sharing a few conversations we regularly have in The Circle, our membership where we help you get your stories published with ongoing support, encouragement, and a thriving community as you establish yourself in the travel media space. If you feel like you’re not coming up with new ideas regularly and the energy required to pitch is draining, this bonus episode is for you! In this episode, we talk about restoring our creative energy and taking care of ourselves, a vital component of our creative journey. We discuss the Czeck term “sebeláska” which refers to putting your needs first and finding ways to care for yourself, and we chat about how this relates to our creative careers. We also discuss the importance of taking responsibility for our creative outputs and the ‘create-restore’ cycle of creativity. Tune in today to find out how to restore your creative energy for long-term success as a travel writer.
