0:00.0	On the creative journey it's easy to get lost but don't worry you'll lift off
0:10.0	sometimes you just need a creative pep talk.
0:17.0	Hey, you're listening to Creative P Talk, a weekly podcast companion for your
0:26.5	creative journey. I'm Annie Jay Pizza. I'm a New York Times best-selling
0:30.9	author and illustrator and I will be your guide on this
0:34.2	creative expedition. Let's go.
0:40.7	One question that plagues me often is whether I'm a natural or not
0:45.4	creatively. My dad jokingly says this phrase a lot in conversation like
0:51.2	when he's hanging out with the grandkids, his grandkids, my kids or my

1:35.5	and I feel like kind of a kindred creator with meera
1:38.6	because she's an illustrator that is more comfortable with words. In this episode we explore
1:45.9	why not being a so-called natural can actually be a superpower.
1:52.6	and I really believe that and I loved where this conversation went on this topic and we get
1:58.7	into a whole bunch of other super fun, juicy stuff and I could have talked to Mira forever and I hope she comes back on the show.
2:06.0	You can check out Mira's work at Mira Lee Patel.substack.com and subscribe to her newsletter there and also Mira Lee Patel.com for her
