Episode 262: Vision Board Update

Today on Fable and the Verbivore, we’re checking in to see how Fable’s vision board for the year came together.

During our episode on setting intentions for 2025, Fable mentioned that she would be performing her yearly intuitive vision board creation process between Christmas and New Years. So, today we’re following back up with Fable on this process and seeing how this year’s board ended up.

In this episode, we talk a lot about creativity, using our intuition, and ways of working that help manage anxiety and burnout. Things like:

  • Letting something become in a way that surprises or challenges you

  • Not forcing something in that you may like, but feels wrong

  • Notice and allow for themes and patterns to emerge

  • Asking yourself “does it fit?” for creative and writing projects

  • Giving yourself the ability to do both things you need to do and things you want to do

  • Freeing yourself from overly prescriptive deadlines

  • Reducing pressure to just get things done to remove them off your plate and instead prioritizing regularly moving them forward

  • Leaning into things that don’t feel like your typical preferences, but will stretch you

We hope you enjoy this episode and that you find whatever processes work best for you! And keep reading, writing, and putting your voice out there!

Into the woods,

Fable & The Verbivore
