Having a toddler I’ve found my time to actually read has dwindled to nothing and it’s so frustrating. What I have found time for however is audio, while writing, while cooking, and any other feasible time I can squeak in 30-ish minutes.
Not only have I found podcasts that offer helpful advise but also to feed your creative side. Here’s my rotation that keeps me satisfied on a weekly basis.
