Creativity Is Not Art: Discussing Ben Rennie’s "Lessons in Creativity"
Ep. 64
•
Is creativity a gift for the few, or a fundamental human energy we all possess? This week, Lyndon and Breallyn explore the work of Australian designer Ben Rennie and his book, Lessons in Creativity: Stories and Strategies to Cultivate Your Creative Confidence.
We dive into why 'creativity' isn't actually 'art,' but an energy we can all access. By focusing on two specific pillars—curiosity and generosity—we discuss how to dismantle 'scarcity thinking' and the fear that ideas are a limited resource.
From finding inspiration in the details of a seashell to the bravery of sharing unfinished work, we look at how an abundance mindset can transform your creative agency. If you’ve ever felt like you 'weren't an artist,' this conversation is for you.

[RE-RELEASE] Artist Hobbies & Side Projects: Why You Need Low-Stakes Outlets
57:00|This episode was originally released on October 28, 2025, and we're re-releasing it today due to the Easter break disrupting our usual scheduling — hope you enjoy it if you missed it the first time around!In this episode, Breallyn and I discuss the essential role that hobbies and side projects play in a creative life. From my own cat-trapping adventures to furniture restoration and some pretty spectacular lapidary failures, we talk through how low-stakes creative outlets can actually prevent burnout and make your main artistic work better. We get into the paradox of needing distractions from your art in order to make better art, the very real danger of accidentally raising the bar on a hobby until it stops being fun, and why that calm, clear creative headspace often shows up at the worst possible moment.63. Creative Resilience: Surviving Tough Times & Mental Well-being
56:34||Ep. 63Welcome to Pain In The Arts, where the pursuit of meaningful art meets the unpredictable demands of real life. In an era often described as a 'dumpster fire,' how do creative individuals maintain their sanity and continue their work? This week, Brea and Lyndon discuss the challenges of staying informed without losing your mind and explore how sensitive, big-hearted creatives can gather their energy to keep fighting the good fight.62. The Momentum Trap: Why Your Creative Career Keeps Getting Hijacked
49:18||Ep. 62"Momentum exists, and it’s going to latch onto something—the question is, what?" In this episode, Lyndon and Breallyn explore the neutral force of momentum and how the "drifting" of daily life often carries artists away from their true creative goals. Inspired by the blunt insights of Grammy-winning producer Billy Hume, it's a look at the work ethic required to keep your art moving forward when life tries to pull you off course.61. Making Art In The Attention Economy (Without Losing The Plot)
52:29||Ep. 61What does it take to make anything in an attention economy that never seems satisfied?In this episode of Pain In The Arts, Lyndon and Breallyn wander through the strange theatre of making work online - where everyone’s performing, the algorithm is always hungry, and it’s not entirely clear who you’re supposed to be talking to anymore. Along the way, they compare the high-output churn of the manosphere to the slower, more observational approach of Louis Theroux.Somewhere in the middle of it all, another idea takes shape: maybe the answer isn’t to shout louder, but to step aside. To build something smaller, quieter, and more deliberate.60. Is This Good For Me? A Better Question for Artists
51:01||Ep. 60What if the question holding artists back isn’t “Is this good?” but the habit of asking it at all?In this episode of Pain In The Arts, Lyndon and Breallyn explore a reframe inspired by Samuel Mead: replacing “Is this good?” with “Is this good for me?” The “Is This Good For Me” question shifts attention away from external approval and back toward the artist’s own experience of making the work.Visit Samuel Mead's website59. Slow Art: Trusting the Process When Progress Feels Impossible
01:10:03||Ep. 59When your creative project stalls and the doubts start racing in, how do you find your way back to the work? This week Lyndon and Breallyn explore the idea of slow art: embracing the process, sitting with doubt, and trusting the work even when progress has ground to a halt. Breallyn shares an account of her writing project losing momentum, and what a visit to Bruno’s Art and Sculpture Garden in Marysville revealed about what it looks like to build a creative life — and rebuild it — over decades. From Tolkien’s 12-year road to Middle Earth to the feeling of being “gorged out” by too much beauty at once, this episode is a gentle reminder that the best things rarely arrive in a hurry.58. The Art of Showing Up: Mental Hygiene, Self-Talk & Living with Intention
51:48||Ep. 58What does it really mean to show up — not just for your art, but for yourself? Inspired by artist Michael David Mayo — "the most important art I make isn't on canvas, it's the way I speak to myself, the way I choose to meet each day" — Lyndon and Breallyn discuss the concept of mental hygiene for creatives: the deliberate, daily practice of shaping your mindset the same way you'd shape a piece of art.Michael David Mayo on Instagram57. Why Your Laundry Pile Might Be Your Best Creative Tool
58:05||Ep. 57Do you ever feel like the laundry, the school runs, and the endless to-do list are stealing time from your creative work? In this episode of Pain in the Arts, Lyndon and Breallyn explore how to reframe the "busywork" of everyday life. Can those daily chores actually help us and how do repetitive, low-demand tasks quietly trigger creative breakthroughs? It's a fresh, practical perspective on finding meaning in the mundane - and letting it fuel your art.
