The Good Space with Francesca Phillips
Education:Self-Improvement
Today, I’m excited to chat about the chaotic creative process with Rachel Jepsen. Rachel is a nonfiction editor, writer, and dog owner living in the Midwest. We talk about how embracing chaos is fuel for creative work. Also, about self-compassion and how writing is a spiritual practice. She’s the executive editor at Every, a digital subscription publication focused on entrepreneurship, productivity, internet culture, technology, leadership, and more. If you want to have your creative spirit rejuvenated and re-lit then this episode is for you!

QUOTES
“I think that there's so much to know about how journaling can help us become more compassionate, not just for ourselves, but for other people, because of the way that it sort of lays out the first draft of consciousness of ideation.” - Rachel
“Chaos isn't only necessary to create anything. Harnessing chaos is possible in our ultimate creative state. Self-editing is part of the creative process but the initial idea, the first spark of truth that ignites a new piece of writing and fuels, the remainder of the process, is born out of chaos, just like the universe.” - Rachel
THIS WEEK’S INTENTION
I allow myself to play and inspire those around me to do the same
WRITING PROMPT
How do I like to express my voice? In what ways might I not be allowing myself to?
