Reviews for The Balanced Creative
The change we need in our creative lives and industries
“This podcast is smart and thoughtful. It is led by a welcoming host who affirms the changes we need in our creative industries, where burnout and inequities are high. Some of the incredibly helpful and specific practices described are characterized by: slowing down; engaging in self-reflection; and fine tuning systems. Thank you to host, Chelene Knight, for this offering to me as a writer, arts administrator, and long-haul cultural worker. And thank you for the impact you’re making in our creative communities.”
