wow this episode! i was beating myself up between caretaking and creating art during my limiting free time of late nov to now...and hearing this episode about iris saying i can't exactly turn on my inner artist flow within an hour after I get off work mode.....hands up. i hear you. with my day job previously.. doodling after work to music i like... was my transtion time between work Reena to Reensarai art by Reena.
I sooo get the resentment Tamara mentioned. Decades of it (kids, responsibilities, cooking endless meals (thanks for mentioning that), endless doing for others, sacrifice). Now I'm retired there's more regret than resentment, and I've thrown things to the wind - "no I'm not doing that I'm doing my own thing when I like and stuff the rest of you" (which takes courage). I think a LOT of women feel this but don't admit. So I create, and at 72 it's a driving need, of course with moments of frustration because, well, how many years left and sometimes even, what's the point of making stuff someone will ditch when I'm gone. So make the most of being a little more self-ish while you can, people ❤ This episode was very timely for me. Thanks 😊👍💖 (Just a heads up, it's a pity there are so many ads sprinkled throughout the podcast (10+) having to stop listening and skip, a lot of interruption and jarring when you're relaxing).
So glad this episode resonated with you Hillie! Thank you for sharing your perspective on the different feelings of 'being in the thick of it' and 'in hindsight'. You're so right that the setting of boundaries is especially challenging for women. Thanks for letting me know about the number of ads, I'll look into this.
