107 - Faith and Creativity (w/ Beth Stafford)

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um, also, I mean, you talking about just like yourself as a kid, I see a lot of parallels with Shelby.

So, uh, I mean, I don't know, Shelby, I want, I want to get you into this a little bit.

Yeah.

Would we have been best friends?

I think we would have.

I was just thinking that, Beth.

So when I was a kid, I did a series of children's books.

And it was like, OK, I just got to keep writing, keep writing.

And it was the same thing with me.

It's like, I'm going to go back.

I'm going to look at these stories that I wrote.

And I was like, I was a dork, though, because I was like, I'm going to write a research essay.

over the summer and like, I'm going to go back and I'm going to, I'm going to edit this and share it with my teachers later on.

It was that, you know, the very perfectionist mindset.

And that's something that I really appreciate in you.

And, you know, especially when we've worked together, um, it's kind of that back and forth communication and also to starting in comms.

That was also kind of where my starting place was too, especially going into video and elsewhere.

Um, no.

And I think too, like something, and this is something that I know we want to be able to discuss, um, A difference though between us is I don't have children.

I have some growing children that aren't mine directly, my husband's.

But I really want to kind of get into some of the conversation with kind of how you've been able to to balance um you know the creativity that you have but then also with your kids which we're obviously saying with the book but kind of how the two influence each other a little bit more because that's something that I have not personally experienced and I'm always interested in that perspective

um yeah honestly I have okay so I have one daughter she's 12 and I'm probably not going to talk about this as positively as you wish Um, she's very different.

I'll listen to this
