When waves of sorrow or stress are assailing us, how do we keep ourselves from being pulled under? In this profoundly personal episode, Orna Ross records from the riptides of bereavement—her mother passed a month ago—to show how creatives and creativists can transmute every shade of loss into fuel for richer art, deeper flow and a more expansive life.


Listen in for:

• A live reading of Orna’s unfinished poem “Milky Ways,” written at her mother’s hospital bedside

• The danger of “creative bypassing.” Why busying yourself can actually be avoidance

• Two research-proven practices (self-distanced free-writing and 90/20 dual-process sprints) that lower grief--induced stress by up to 31 percent and turn pain into powerful momentum.

• A preview of Orna's upcoming Go Creative! workshop and how you can bring your own challenges—large or everyday small—to the live Online Open Studio.


Tune in to learn how every wave of loss can become the very swell that lifts your art, deepens your flow, and reveals a horizon more expansive than before. Press play, grab a notebook, and Go Creative!
