On today’s episode of Creative Space, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Merideth Hite Estevez, a world-class oboist who shares her transformative journey from burnout to bliss. Learn how her experiences at Juilliard and her subsequent creative recovery led her to establish Artists for Joy, a thriving community that helps artists overcome their blocks and rediscover joy in creativity.
Merideth delves into the profound impact Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" had on her life, and how it inspired her to pen her own book, "The Artist's Joy."
Together, we explore a holistic definition of creativity inspired by Eric Booth and underscore the importance of self-care. Merideth's personal anecdotes and practical tips illuminate the cultural and spiritual challenges artists face while emphasizing the power of small, consistent steps in achieving creative goals. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of finding sustainability and joy in your artistic journey. Enjoy!
