Oh Kelsey, thank you for sharing so honestly. I resonate with so much of what you wrote— the need for control and the struggle to move on from an identity that is all-consuming.
I am so grateful for The Artist’s Way cohort and the chance to heal together!
“The lessons I’m learning about creative recovery are synonymous with the lessons I’m learning about life recovery.” 💯
I’m so grateful to have you in the cohort with me! And while I hate that you, too, have struggled to move on from an all consuming identity, I’m glad to hear that this resonated with you. 🩷
Wow, Kelsey. Thank you for sharing this. While I never went through IVF, I did go through several years of trying to conceive, and also experienced several miscarriages. The pain of infertility is DEEP. So even though I don't know what it's like to walk in your (Elsa!) shoes, I do know that what you are going through is difficult. You are not alone <3
(Also, this post got me sooo excited for The Artist's Way!)
Thank you so much, Megan! Infertility is a club no one wants to be in, but it's always comforting to connect with other members. On the contrary, The Artist's Way is a club everyone should want to be in, so I'm excited for you to get started!
Hi! I found you through Exhale. =) Julia Cameron's books and advice on how to live creatively have been such a balm for me as I went through tough stages. I love how you connected your release of control with the book. Thank you for sharing your story! And as you move through new seasons and new identities, I hope you keep writing and sharing your story.
This is lovely and brave, Kelsey. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. “What would it look like to release myself from that burden?”—Ive been working on this very thing as I practice regularly surrendering my desire for more children to God.
I’ve so enjoyed having you in our group!! Can’t wait to chat over zoom soon!
Kelsey, reading this peek into your life was a gift. Thank you for sharing so vulnerably. I deeply resonated with your idea of containing multitudes and the parallels of creative recovery and life recovery. Wear those Elsa shoes, my friend! 🩵🩵

So beautiful!! I listen to songs on repeat so often, especially when I can’t form my own prayers. Love the way your creativity is blossoming!
Thank you so much! Sometimes listening to songs on repeat is the best kind of prayer! 💛

Thank you so much, Ashley! I’m glad Julia Cameron’s books have been a balm for you. I’m hoping to do Walking in This World next!
