We have all faced the dreaded blank page – whether it is a literal blank page in our word processor, a blank canvas in our graphic design program, or an empty social media calendar. There are seasons of life when this is an exciting invitation, and seasons of life when it is a nightmare.

As we approach the 2 year anniversary of the start of the covid-19 pandemic, we are going to take a few episodes to touch on topics that involve the realm of self-care.

So, on this episode, Dan explores why we run out of ideas and what we can do about it.
