Do you ever feel like the laundry, the school runs, and the endless to-do list are stealing time from your creative work? In this episode of Pain in the Arts, Lyndon and Breallyn explore how to reframe the "busywork" of everyday life. Can those daily chores actually help us and how do repetitive, low-demand tasks quietly trigger creative breakthroughs?

It's a fresh, practical perspective on finding meaning in the mundane - and letting it fuel your art.

What happens to your goals when life completely changes? In this episode, Lyndon and Breallyn explore goal setting—but not in the way you might expect. They share how a decade ago they stopped planning for the future entirely, and why. When their daughter Birdie was diagnosed with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, their goals shifted from creative ambitions to survival. They discuss the "impossible goals" they pursued around her communication and the miraculous shifts that have emerged.

A conversation about disability, parenting, and finding your way back to the future.

Content note: This episode discusses disability, parenting a child with complex medical and neuropsychiatric needs, and statistics around vulnerability for girls with intellectual disabilities.

What if your creative window hasn't actually closed - it's just opening in a different way? In this episode, Lyndon and Breallyn tackle the pressure artists feel to achieve success by a certain age. But instead of accepting that timeline, Breallyn offers a radical reframe: what if past, present, and future are all happening right now? She explores how different cultures perceive time and introduces a 'time travel' thought experiment that could change how you approach your art - and possibly your life. Featuring the wisdom of Leanne Morgan and a surprising, unqualified foray into quantum physics.
