AI might be the new filter we didn't ask for.

on why so many creatives are leaning on ai before they've even tried to find their own words. Not because the tool is bad, but because it's easier than trusting yourself to say the thing you actually mean.

Feeling creatively stuck? Try this Pinterest exercise.

Charlotte Gomes () shares her "find your path" ritual: intuitively collect 20 to 30 images you feel drawn to, no overthinking. Then step back and look for the pattern. A repeating color, a recurring symbol. It's a simple way to see what your inner landscape is actually trying to tell you.

A new episode of .pod is live with Charlotte Gomes , founder of Collective Roots PR and the mind behind a five pillar framework that honours the natural sequence our creative work wants to unfold, from the inside out. 🌿

In this clip she walks through the ritual she runs before opening Instagram. An intention, a colour, a container to hold her energy so she's not scrolling straight into dissociation.

Jane Austen changed how women were seen. Banksy holds up a mirror to injustice most people walk past. Jenny McCarty (from ) thinks artists have always done this work from the edges of society.

Her theory: artists spend more time observing the world and what is happening around them, but also they spend more time with different kinds of people, so they notice what could be improved about our society much better than everyone else.

It's part of why her own viral moment, a sticker covering up a controversial National Park Pass redesign, became a space for her community to speak through her. And it did resonate with so many people in North America, hitting 1 million views and proving that art is one of the greatest vectors for activism.

Jenny McCarty (from ) was good at science and good at art, and for years, she went all in on her water resource management career until she hit a wall with burnout and had to reconnect with the art practice she loved: painting.

I recognized a lot of my own journey in what she was describing. Jenny happily chose a science degree and career, and doesn't have any regrets, but she shed light on what our generation was told about people in creative fields.

Turns out the "disorganized, can't run a business" artist stereotype says more about what art school doesn't teach than what artists are actually capable of.

Quartz countertops were recently banned in Australia. Here's why, straight from our conversation with interior designer Alex Shield.

Quartz contains silica - a fine, sand-like dust that causes silicosis, a serious lung disease, when inhaled. It's the workers cutting these countertops who are most exposed, often without proper protective equipment. It's not something we see as consumers, but it's happening throughout the supply chain.

Sustainability isn't only about what's in your home. It's about the people who made it.

"Sustainable design equals expensive" is the assumption Alex Shield says she runs into more than almost anything else. She told us it's just not true.

In this clip, she breaks down what sustainable design actually means: durability, not price tags. Reupholstering a piece that's been in your family for generations instead of buying new. Choosing tile with recycled content at the exact same price as the standard option. Investing in one handcrafted piece built to last instead of replacing a cheap one every few years.

The real question isn't whether you can afford sustainable design. It's where you choose to invest, and where you choose to save.

What does the world you want to live in actually look like? That's the question we close every episode of (re)connect with, and we LOVED Alex Shield's answer.

For her, it starts with slowing down: growing her own food, repairing instead of replacing, building real community around her. She told us about a mall in Sweden that only sells pre-loved goods - vintage, thrifted, repaired on-site instead of thrown away. Her wish is simple: more of that, everywhere.

It's a quiet vision. It's also a real departure from how most of us shop today.
