Have you ever felt stuck, like you know where you want to go but you’re not sure how to take the first step?
In this episode, Wendy and Krista continue their Vision Board series with a deep dive into one of the most influential creativity books ever written: The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. Whether you’re building a vision board, navigating a new season of military life, or simply looking to reconnect with yourself, this conversation offers practical tools to help you move from overwhelm to clarity.
Together, they explore why creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s for anyone who wants to live with greater purpose, intention, and joy.
In this episode:
- A synopsis of The Artist’s Way
- Why creativity is essential for designing your future
- How Morning Pages quiet mental clutter and reveal what matters most
- The purpose and power of weekly Artist Dates
- Simple ways to overcome creative blocks and get unstuck
- How these practices strengthen your vision board and help turn dreams into action
MilSpouse Moment This week’s MilSpouse Moment tackles a question so many military spouses ask themselves: “How do I start putting myself first after years of military life where everyone else’s schedule came first?”
Wendy and Krista share practical encouragement for rediscovering your own goals, creating space for yourself without guilt, and why investing in yourself ultimately benefits your entire family.
This Week’s Challenge:
✨ Write Morning Pages for three days.
✨ Take yourself on one Artist Date.
✨ Add one new image, word, or idea to your vision board inspired by the experience.
