Yes Ma'am! A Comedy Podcast for Creative Recovery
Yes Ma’am Podcast is a comedy podcast for creative recovery—aka that sweet, messy process of reclaiming your inner artist after burnout, perfectionism, or just life got in the way.
Hosted by Anna and Sarah—artists and business owners—we explore what happens when you get out of YOUR OWN WAY and just MAKE THE THING. We ask how to make space for play and curiosity. What if it's the journey that matters? Not the final product. DANG
If you’ve ever said “I’m not creative,” or you feel you've lost your creative voice, we’re here to lovingly call BS. Doing this work can make you more sparkly in every area of your life—because it’s not just about making art. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, your intuition, your aliveness—and bringing that into everything you do.
Each season, we walk through The Artist’s Way, asking big questions (no answers), making weird stuff, laughing a lot, and accidentally healing. Come sit with us.
We love you.

WEEK 10 | In Which We Address Creative Blocks
This week: spiritual perils, creative blocks, and the wild idea that maybe… we don’t have to strain so hard??
Can you actually be an artist without the suffering and the constant striving? Apparently that’s the goal. Why do we feel like if we’re not straining, we’re not doing it right? What does self-protection around your creativity look like, and how do you make it about the journey instead of chasing the next gold star?
We’re talking creative blocks—yours, ours, everyone’s—and how they sneak into our lives dressed as necessary distractions. Anna gets into alcohol, people-pleasing, and how both get in the way of quieting down enough to actually create. Sarah wonders if she’s a workaholic (lol same) and asks whether her desire for deep, true partnership is actually narrowing the straw of her creativity.
We also spiral on the impossible question: can you really protect your creative life from all the chaos of the outside world? Or is that just a cute idea we tell ourselves? Then Julie Cameron herself (okay, through the book) comes in hot and spicy with this truth bomb: “If you don’t have time for Morning Pages, maybe you don’t have time for a creative life.” RUDE.
Also, we build a fort. And we try to convince you—again—to just do the Morning Pages.
What’s the main point? Show up. That’s it. Just keep showing up.
We love you!
