For fans of The Artist’s Way and The Creative Act, comes an alternative perspective on creativity that introduces “play” as a key tool to building trust and confidence in ourselves and a path to creative expression.    

You are creative! Yes you! Despite what society, friends, family, or social media might tell you, you don’t need to practice the “classic creative outlets” like art, music, or writing to find creative expression. And if you are interested in those outlets, you don’t need to pursue them as a career to live a more fulfilling life.   

The key to cultivating the kind of big, juicy life that sparks joy, connection, and fulfillment isn’t chasing the title of “creative”, it’s prioritizing your play. In Prioritize Play, host of the Chaotic Creatives podcast and play enthusiast Rachael Renae reveals that play is more important to our wellbeing than productivity or career titles and should be prioritized as readily as getting groceries, paying your rent, or getting your work done. When we connect to ourselves through play, we become more curious and intentional in how we express ourselves and connect with other people. Within these pages are: 
  • Mindset shifts to start seeing play in the everyday
  • Guidance to help you find your version of play
  • Strategies to turn play into a regular practice
  • Exercises to release expectations on your creativity
  • Lessons in becoming your own hype pal

Through introspection and fun challenges, you’ll see that play is the solution toward overcoming our creative blocks, caring less about what people think of us, and showing ourselves that we do deserve to prioritize our creative ideas. Even when they don’t make money. Even if we’re not “good” at them. Even if they’re not a “traditional” creative outlet. Because we all deserve our version of our Big, Juicy Life!

Genre:

  • Mind, Body, Spirit
  • Self-help
  • Creativity
