Episode 12: Navigating Transitions & Rediscovering Creativity

About this episode

In this episode, Akilah reflects on life transitions and the challenge of rediscovering her creative flow while working on the Chain Breaker Quilt.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on life transitions, the chaos of moving, and the challenge of finding my creative flow again. The sewing machine hasn’t been humming much lately, but the Chain Breaker Quilt is still calling my name—and I’ve set a goal to finish it before the year ends. I share how I used AI to explore quilt design on a budget and what I’ve learned in the process. This one’s about grace, growth, and making space for your craft—even when life feels a little offbeat. If you’ve ever needed a gentle push back to your creative rhythm, you’ll feel right at home.
