019: Downtime as Creative Uptime: The In-Between Is the Work (Not Out of Work)

“When we are not in the studio, filming, rehearsing, recording, or if we're not in preparation mode, does that then mean that all the other times we are out of work?’”

Sarah Perry

In this episode, Sarah Perry and Stephen Moynihan open up a vital conversation around ‘downtime’ in the creative world. They unpack the stigma behind being "out of work" and offer a refreshing reframe: downtime as a chance for growth. From financial planning and upskilling to finding joy in rest and celebrating small wins, this episode is a thoughtful exploration of how creatives can navigate balance, resilience, and self-investment, both in work and in the spaces between.
