Casey- hearing why you quit for so long makes me feel like I made the right choice for myself to not do this work outside of my little metro-Boston area. I hated not knowing if I could trust people, especially men who said they knew someone who would “sign me” 🤣😭 and then berate me for not wanting to be famous, why don’t I want to be famous, etc. I was a gardener too and it was great cos I could sing as loud as I wanted (ppl I was gardening for long since dead - museum gardens) and write songs all day all night. I feel like art… you can’t help but make it if you’re an artist, and it doesn’t have to be monetized to be meaningful. Now my kids just say stuff like “you should play live for people” 🩷 thank you to both of you cos I can relax my shoulders a little about this all now.
I really love the part where you discuss if traveling and your environment impact your creativity!
It does a lot for me. Some environments feel more limiting, and drain my energy so much that my creative goes away... when if I'm surrounded by positivity it shines. And I feel the same about places, countries with different cultures, religions... even weather, highly affect what I consume and think about... therefore my thoughts and creativity!
I feel this so much—it’s wild how deeply environment shapes not just our energy but the very texture of our thoughts. I’m glad that part resonated with you! It’s such an important (and often overlooked) part of the creative process. Thanks Jeremie!
It’s going to sound silly, but with me, it’s crazy how much the weather impacts me. When I visit my in-laws in the North of England where it’s grey and rainy all the time, it affects my mood and all my outcomes SO MUCH!
Not in the least bit silly - I literally can’t work without natural light and when I was working in offices I lost entire functioning capacity thanks to a colleague’s chewing by my desk. But that same sensitivity I think also helps me recall a specific feeling and hone in on it. Self knowledge is power!

Thank you so much for sharing Elle. I couldn't agree more: art doesn't have to be monetized to be meaningful. This is the truth!
I needed this in all the ways. I can’t even tell you how much this has helped my brain. Big hugs to you both. 💖🫶✨

Thank you Casey. That’s true, being self-aware to know what works and doesn’t work for us is a real power!
That makes sense! Moody weather brings a more introspective side of me out too.
This was so powerful!
Aww hi dude! Thank you for reading 💘
