In this episode, we dive into the emotional and economic toll of creative work: the burnout, the spirals, the slow erosion of joy when your art becomes your paycheck. Patrick opens up about nearly quitting photography, the paradox of making a living off your creativity, and what it really means to protect your spark in a world that constantly demands more.\nWe explore Rick Rubin’s philosophy of creativity as a muscle,  not a resource to be drained, but a force to be nurtured. If you’ve ever felt the tension between your soul work and your client work, this one’s for you.\nYou’re not behind.\nYou’re just tired.\nAnd that’s okay.\nCredits\nEpisode Photo By Alexandra Gorn | Unsplash\nSubscribe to Field Notes\nThe podcast is the campfire, Field Notes is what you take home.
