In this special end-of-year episode of Originate Now, Jessica Higgins Chapman invites you into a gentle creative reset and challenge— one that doesn’t require a weekend retreat or a total life overhaul.
Instead, she shares the practice that helped her reconnect with creativity during one of the most demanding seasons of her life: the Just 10 Minutes Creative Challenge.
Through personal reflection and a series of grounding prompts and mini creative resets, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and enter the new year with more intention.
If you’re a writer, filmmaker, or creative feeling stretched thin, creatively disconnected, or unsure what to carry forward into the new year, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a simple way back to yourself.
In this Episode, Jess Discusses:
- Why the end-of-year pause is sacred for creatives
- How 10 minutes a day can rebuild creative trust and momentum
- A 6-question creative year-end audit to reflect on 2025
- Three simple 10-minute creative challenges you can do immediately
- Why constraints, brain dumps, and micro-sessions actually boost creativity
- What to intentionally release before the new year and carry forward into it
