In the first episode of 2026, Margo invites listeners to join
her in a conversation about beginning the year with
intention—rather than pressure. Inspired by a recent Substack
article by writer Suleika Jaouad, Margo reflects on themes of
release, gentleness, and honoring the creative process over rigid
resolutions and why this approach is so important for creatives.
She also shares real responses from the Windowsill Chats community
about what they’re letting go of this year, from comparison and
self-doubt to perfectionism and “shoulds.” Margo explores why
finite, manageable containers—like daily sketching, journaling, or
mindful walks—can create scaffolding for a sustainable and
supportive creative life.
