Summary
Inspired by the themes of Kelly’s astrology conversation with Marv for March, this episode dives into creativity, overthinking, and breaking free from old patterns. Ever had a “brilliant” idea that, in hindsight, was totally ridiculous? Or found yourself obsessing over every tiny detail while the world just kept moving? Kelly and Chip explore the highs and lows of creative inspiration, the struggle of overanalyzing everything, and the unconventional choices that shaped their lives. From bizarre business ideas to perfectionist tendencies that went way too far, they’re keeping it real (and hilarious) about the moments they took themselves a little too seriously—and the ones where throwing logic out the window actually worked.
