“Larsen believes we are being globally gaslit by this notion that we should be able to snap back to normal easily and be more driven in the pandemic aftermath when that certainly is not the case, and our duty of care for ourselves and others is arguably more important than ever.”

Thrilled to get a mention in the Scribble and Spacebar blog. More at scribbleandspacebar.substack.com/p/brain-fuel-the-science-and-social.

“As a sector, we’re so good at subjugating our needs that it may feel self-indulgent to prioritise ourselves. We invite you to reframe self-care as a radical act.”

Those in need of a New Year creative reset can find more tips from me and Clare Travis on ArtsHub https://www.artshub.com.au/news/news/new-year-creative-reset-2604311/).

Self-care and duty of care are the pointiest end of our work right now, and the thing we’ll have to address before we can move forward. Coach Clare Travis and I shared our tips for a New Year creative reset with ArtsHub this week (https://www.artshub.com.au/news/news/new-year-creative-reset-2604311/).

In December, I launched a new vlog series for my Patreon followers about things that interest and/or infuriate me. The first one's based on an ArtsHub article about Theatre Network Australia's recent report that 51% of indie artists are considering a career change or leaving the arts entirely.

I made ArtsHub’s list of top 10 career lessons we learned from 2022. The lesson: Begin to say 'enough is enough' and bring some reality to the situation, otherwise investors will continue to expect more for less (https://www.artshub.com.au/news/career-advice/what-we-learned-top-10-career-lessons-from-2022-2600826/).

It’s hard to wind down as a freelancer, but I’m trying to take my own advice on why doing #LessIsNecessary is so important right now. Today’s recipe: bath + book + Milo. May your last few days of the year be as gentle and restful as you can make them too. #ArtsLife #WritingLife #FreelanceLife

Need to start taking my own advice as we barrel towards the end of another difficult year: #LessIsNECESSARY.
Repost from @pottypryor: Is this the 'lt's Time' of our generation? Time to produce a televised jingle w/national arts workers and artists singing Less is Necessary.
