About this listen

"What happens when you try to build a creative life while also being a responsible adult?

Disorder. But delightfully so.


Join writer Breallyn and her husband Lyndon as they navigate the unpredictable, deeply satisfying, and occasionally absurd reality of making art while managing, well… everything else. From creative breakthroughs to imposter syndrome, from the rush of finishing a project to the frustration of starting over, they share an unfiltered look at what it really takes to transform inspiration into finished work.

Whether you’re a writer, musician, artist, or just someone who believes creativity is worth the effort, this podcast from Creative Life Chronicles is for you.

    EOFY for Artists: Spreadsheets, Stress, and Existential Dread
    Jul 7 2025

    Why is doing your taxes so emotionally exhausting—especially if you're a creative? In this episode, Breallyn and Lyndon wade through the chaos of EOFY as artists, from mismatched thinking styles to getting sacked by accountants (I know right!?) It’s a painfully relatable look at why the financial world feels like another planet—and what it costs us just to exist on it.

    What does it really take to master your passion—and is it worth it? Breallyn and Lyndon dive into the obsession, transformation, and long-haul grit behind creative mastery. With a little help from RZA, they explore how mastering one passion sparks others—and how the journey reshapes who you become. Plus there's the usual detours and chats about parenting pit-falls, dentistry and adventures in DIY acupuncture.

    What’s Saving Our Sanity: Daily Habits, Zero Guarantees
    Jun 23 2025

    Caffeine rituals, bedtime Milos, and an AI assistant named Pablo—Breallyn and Lyndon swap notes on the low-effort habits that are helping them stay upright (for now).


    What’s actually keeping us sane?

    In this episode, Breallyn and Lyndon trade notes on the tiny comforts and daily habits that are helping them stay upright—most of the time. From caffeine rituals and bedtime Milos to creative windows, soft starts, and a suspiciously supportive AI assistant named Pablo, it’s a low-stakes list of what’s working right now (with zero promises it’ll still be working next week).
