The Lisa Congdon Sessions is a podcast for creative folks about living and working with more intention, curiosity, and joy. Most interesting to Lisa is what happens at the intersection between life as an artist and life as a human, with all our baggage, aspirations, hopes and dreams. From big questions to practical ones about business, social media, time management, and finding your way through the winding creative path- each episode Lisa will share stories, tips, insights, and conversations from the heart.

In this short season finale episode Lisa shares some context on taking breaks (going all the way back to medieval times), how our relationship to breaks has changed since the invention of the light bulb, and why breaks are necessary to maintain our lifelong commitment to the things we love.

By Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey.The episode I refer to at the beginning and end of this Episode is Episode 1. If you haven't listened to it yet, I hope you will! I share my story and background of how I became an artist there.
I decided to launch the podcast with an episode that sets the stage with my story - context for who I am and how I came to be a working artist and champion of the creative path. My story is different than most because I didn't actually pick up a paintbrush until I was 32 years old, and I didn't begin life as a professional artist until I was nearly 40. I never studied art or design in school. So, as you can imagine, one of the most common questions I get is: how did I go from an adult who had zero artistic aspirations or experience to someone whose life 20 years later is defined by art and an interest in the creative path? This first episode is that story, with lots of juicy bits, including my 13-year-old celebrity crush! -Lisa Congdon
