Baking often gets described as a science instead of an art, which might be true to some degree⊠But while we can get a recipe from someone else, we still have to adjust to the unique environment weâre working in, whether itâs dry, humid, using different brands of flour, etc. We have to experiment and test and trial it until we find the recipe that works best for our own environment.
And itâs not just baking thatâs subject to this. As it turns out, creative success works pretty much the same way.
In this episode, Lisa sits down to address her recent podcast break, her success (finally!) at baking sourdough, and how that taught her that creativity is something we all have to hone through experimentation, trial and error, and persistence.
Letâs dive in!
Whatâs in this episode:
