On the podcast interview page on her site, Cat Rose writes:
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Douglas Eby: writer, researcher and online publisher who focuses on psychology and personal growth especially in relation to creativity.
“We talk about being a multitalented creative, Douglas shares his advice for procrastination and creative block, and we talk about the traits of high sensitivity and what it means to be an empath.”
Here is a copy our conversation for her Creative Introvert podcast on creative people as Introverts, Empaths and Multipotentialites.
Note – my voice sound quality seems a bit ‘tinny” to me – this is a Skype conversation between So. Calif. (me) and London (Cat).
…
Cat summarizes what we discussed:
Douglas’ beginnings and his fascination in acting
Procrastination as an indicator of anxiety
Anxiety as a major creative block and how to manage it
The biggest challenges introverts have when they are creative and trying to make a good career out of their art
What it means to be a highly sensitive person
The connection between being highly sensitive and highly creative
Advice for anyone looking to write more who struggles to sit down and make time to write
Does having multiple creative interests benefit us?
