More Better with Stephanie & MelissaEveryone can and should embrace their inner creative. Whether you’re a professional artist or you’re just trying to decorate your home, we all benefit from imagination and play sometimes. But sometimes it’s hardddddd. So what’s the solution? Meditating? Journaling? Taking a damn break? This week Stephanie and Melissa discuss how they developed their creative identities and share personal tips and tricks for getting that creativity faucet flowing.
The artists, you know, path or whatever the artist way remember that.
Book, Oh the artist Way. I hate it. More Better.
Or Better.
Better More.
Welcome to More Better, a podcast where we stop pretending to have it all together and embrace the journey of becoming a little more better every.
Day, or at least trying to.
That's Molsa Fumero and that's Stephanie Badris.
Welcome, Hi friend, Hi, hi friends. If you're here, then you've enjoyed our absolute bullshit meandering talks, so welcome back.
Yay. How are you listen?
I'm eating a child's strawberry unsweetened apple sauce out of a pouch, so that'll give you.
You do it pretty great? Then, I guess you know what I mean. Yeah, I'm doing good. I'm doing good. Life is good when you're sucking on a pouch.
Uh, here come the memes, Here come the memes.
You I'm good. I'm good.
Yeah, yeah, I feel rested today, which hasn't been the case in a few days.
Well, congratua fucking lation, thank you, thank you. I'm just kidding. I'm just jealous. That's great.
I just have children that have been waking up and bad dreams and coming to my bed in the middle of the night, and I don't think they did last night, and I think that's.
Why I feel good. That's great.
Yeah, oh that's great. And now I feel like an asshole for being like good a bucket. No, that's actually really great. No, I'm getting sleep is absolute.
Hell, it truly is it? Truly is? What have you done lately? That's more better? Hang out with you?
Stuff that's nice, that actually is nice. I will say this has been This is the highlight of my week. I have to say, is spending all this time with you. Remember how we used to spend every single day together.
Every day, every day, every day? It was heavenly? What have you done lately? It's more better? Let's see. Oh, I've been taking voice lessons again. Oh for anything. We're just for fun, you know, just maybe a little.
You know, I just want to make sure that my voice is in good shape for whatever may come in the future, because I tell you what, it's so vulnerable singing.
You know, nothing will.
Humble you quite as much as not reaching a note or a voice crack in the middle of a belt. For Oh my god, oh, just bring you right back down and humble can we.
Get a ganto at the Hollywood Bowl. The first night, my voice cracked multiple times because it was fucking freezing.
I was so cold. It was so cold.
Everyone in the audience was in jackets and sweaters and hats, and like, meanwhile I was on stage in the little chiffon dress and converse sators.
It's like shivering off stage.
It was just like literally worse weather to like sing in. You know, it's not great.
More better enough about me, Let's talk about this week's topic.
Wow, this glide's right into our topic beautifully, because we're talking about accessing your creativity.
A deep well, A deep well, A deep well. Sometimes there's water at the bottom. Sometimes there's spiders. I'm not sure what you're gonna get.
Sometimes there's just dust, just dusty.
It's just dusty and musty down there, babe.
I think you know, technically, technically, what is accessing you creativity? I feel like it's like getting to the bits of yourself that make things up right, Like yeah, like.
The ability to like have your imagination.
I think going at this hyper speed and like a lot of ideas are coming to you and you're attacking a thing, a problem or a thing from the side and the top and the bottom, and you know, and you're just figuring something out like a puzzle, but yeah, trying to find a new.
Way to figure it out, if that makes sense.
I mean, honestly, sometimes it's as small as being like, Okay, how do I how do I mush this rice into a shape that my toddler will eat? Like?
How do I creatively?
Like?
What am I like? Staring at the fridge?
I can't leave to go anywhere to get something like I'm home alone with her and she's hungry, and I'm like, what do I do here? You know, it's like making making stuff up, looking stuff from a different angle, looking at issues or problems from a different angle, or finding other ways to approach stuff so you don't feel stuck in a rut, and so that you feel like you're accessing your creativity in some kind of way, shape or form. For us, I think it's mainly focused on making art, like acting, directing, you directing, making stuff?
Yeah, And I think for us in what we do, it's you know, how do I do this from my unique point of view or my perspective to make this character or this shot just a little bit different or a little bit elevated, right, because there's always kind of I think when you first read a script or approach a role, you can kind of see right away like the sort of baseline way that that should be played. And then I think the creativity comes in of like where can you find those different angles or those different approaches or I don't know, you know, like the yeah, or the stuff that's underneath it, or you know, yeah, making things and then making it feel really honest and real.
Creativity to me sometimes feels like a faucet that like it's not gonna turn on by itself, right, yes, but if you if you turn it on, the water will come out right, and you you can direct it. You can get a hose and direct where you want.
But I want it to go. You can.
How do you That's gonna sound dirty, but like, how do you turn on your faucet? Oh?
Need you turn on your hose? Baby?
You know that's such a good question because it used to be reading. I used to read along a one a lot, and since the advent of the iPhone, which you know, I remember when yeah, I remember when I didn't have a smartphone. I didn't I remember when there weren't all these apps. I remember when I couldn't just get on my phone and read the New York Times or substack or whatever.
And I used to be a really avid reader.
I'm not anymore, but that was the way for me to access creativity because it was falling into story was really fun for me, and I don't do it anymore.
Yeah, we started the I started the year actually like reading again. We were instead of like going to bed and scrolling or watching a show, we were going to bed and reading books every night.
And it was amazing. And I read two books.
And then we got fucking busy and we've dropped it and we keep talking about like starting it up again.
And it actually was so nice.
It was a really nice way to like settle in and get ready for bed. And it was also but it also like kept me up late some nights because like if the book was good, I was like, oh no, I can't put this down and it's eleven thirty. Oh no, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I get that completely. And when I was younger, I kept a journal all through elementary school, high school, and college, got in my early twenties and.
Then I know somewhere in my nineties journal.
I journaled almost every day and are you serious?
Can you believe that?
And then somewhere in my twenties, I dropped the habit and I never got it back, and I often think about it because I do remember just sitting there and just like journaling and how it just made me feel creative, like made me feel like I was organizing my thoughts and my feelings. It was like my own little therapy, I think. And it's such a good habit, but like, when would I even fucking do that?
I will say I have heard that my whole life. It's like, oh, journal, journal to get your like thoughts and creativity and your blah blah bah bud. And I've tried it so many fucking times, and I'm like, I finally said in therapy to my therapist, Hey, Danny, You're probably never gonna listen to this, but I finally said.
I was like, I cannot.
My brain is just going too fast for my hand, like it is, it's too fast.
And she was like, yeah, journaling just doesn't work for some people. I was like, what, Like I'd never heard I no.
I was like, oh shocked, because I just never heard someone say like journaling doesn't work for everyone. Like I thought there was something wrong with me because I couldn't journal myself into creativity, Like I couldn't do it. No, I thought it was like I was like everyone else there fucking I have so many fucking empty journals in my house. I can't even tell you so many I'll buy them. I'll be like, yes, I'm gonna be a woman who journals. I'm pretty sure I have a few empty ones too, and like.
I'm a start journaling again. Look at this beautiful journal.
I'll have like two pages written, and then I'm like, oh, this fucking thing.
I've bought those like guided ones too, where you like just write for five minutes a day, and like that shit is now empty.
In a drawer somewhere in my house. Absolutely not.
I had a crazy experience during the strike. In the middle of the strike, I was asked by my good friend Leonard robertson what up, shout out Leonard to do an improv show at the Groundlings, and I was like, yeah, fuck it, like we're on strike, nothing's going on, Like this will be good for me to like, you know, just just like like a workout. I was thinking of it like it's a workout. Groundlings is a really small theater. I was like, I'll probably fuck it up, but like, it'll be fine, and I show up to the theater and then that day, This is usually what happens to me is I say yes to things and then the day comes and I go, why did I say yes to this? I do not want to do this? Why did I say yes to an improv show. I'm not a trained improviser. I'm not you know, like the shit we do on.
It sounds like my idea of like the fifth level of Hell. By the way, like that is so terrifying to me. Well what happened?
Okay, so We're in the middle of the strike and that as I'm driving to the theater.
I'm like, oh my god, I my brain feels empty. I feel like there is literal dust between my ears right now.
What the fuck am I going to do?
I am about to go to something where it is reliant on me coming up with ideas the entire time.
Hell Hell.
So I get to the theater and I park my car and I'm there early, and I'm freaking out because I'm like and so then I quickly look up like a guided meditation on creativity.
Oh my god, that's so good.
And I sit in my car and I do this five minute create like creativity meditation, and I'm trying not to judge it too and be.
Like it's so fucking stupid.
I'm sitting in a car and Melrose try to freaking meditate, but like, yeah, just going it, and I do it, and I feel slightly better after. And I gotta say I was not good in that show.
I was not good.
I basically just tried not to ruin it the whole time. At the end, they always do like a sort of longer form sketch with like everyone, and I barely spoke.
I just I was there physically, and I only talked if someone called me through something to me.
And I just didn't even try to be funny. I just was trying not like, just keep it going, but don't don't ruin it. Don't.
So I didn't.
I don't think I ruined it, but I definitely did not contribute in any significant way that night.
Girl. That is it is you were describing hell that is.
I went back a couple of months later after the strike, was overnight a much better show because I was like, I have to redeem myself and it felt better, way better. But like I mean, I still wasn't great or anything, but like it was awful and I was just like, oh my god. And then I sat with that for a long time of just like what do you do when you gotta go perform or figure something out? And like, yeah, your brain feels like it's empty.
The only way out is through. It's like you had to do it. You had to. If it hadn't been that moment, it would have been another moment.
That's the thing about I feel like creativity blocks for me at least, like I have to go through it, like I have to move through the shitty part to get to the other side of it, and then something wait up, yeah, likenda sometime because if I give up and go oh no, like I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this, then what I'm what's going to happen is I'm gonna stay in that place. I will stay in the place so I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't. Well, when we started this by saying like I was taking voice lessons, I am taking voice lessons again, right, and like the first few were not good like it was not good and my stomach was like dropping and stuff like you know, like I just it's so ugh to sing out loud, you know, like to sing and like bear your soul and like it's yucky. It feels yucky when it sounds bad, and like the only way that I'm going to get better if it sounds yucky for is if it sounds yucky for a while, That's.
The only way I'm gonna get better at that.
You know.
Yeah, I feel like.
My creativity is mostly expanded though when I'm reading scripts for work or like I'm working, that's when it because I also think when you're on a roll, I mean part of what happened to you, I think for that Improv show was like when you're on a roll, you're on a roll, like you're working, you're being creative, you're trying it, you're doing it, and then if that role stops, then it it you feel like you took a few steps back. But when you're on a roll, like if you're working on a job or something. When I'm working on a job, I feel like I just start to trust myself more and I like relax into like choices and things, and you know.
But also it can go the other way, because I also feel like sometimes when I'm too busy or overwhelmed and there's too many things happening, I feel like a dip in accessing.
That that part or that creativity.
And then if I get a break and I just get some quiet, you know, like uh, And it can be we were just talking about trips and vacations, it can be like literally a trip, you know, Like I mean, m I often think like lin Manuel Miranda came up with Hamilton on a vacation because it was like the second yeah, I got like me like reading he was reading the book, and that reading got the idea for like the album and the show. And and I think he said something like you know, uh, it's like not lost on him that the first time he like stopped and got a break, he got one of the best ideas of his life.
You know. Yeah, yeah, that's real.
I do love museum trips that for me really like sparks my creativity, especially if I go by myself and do like my own pace through the museum.
Yeah, that's such a great reminder.
I used to do that in New York all the time, go to museums, by myself, and I don't do it here in LA I.
Used to go, you know what I used to do. I have all these I should do this again. I have all these coffee table books that have like really beautiful images in them. I used to collect coffee table books about fashion and travel and I would just go through the coffee table books and then I would get out my.
Little water colors and like do little water colors. And I haven't done that in a really long time.
I started, actually, I will say I started the other day. I did a little tiny flamingo, Like I painted a little flamingo.
Because we got some of that.
So we got some flamingos for the front yard and I was like, I'm gonna paint one, and I painted one.
It was really fun. It was really fun.
When did you always feel you were creative? Like when did you first realize that you were creative overall? Like right, like a like as long as your current like it was just was it always something you gravitated towards?
Yeah?
I feel like, well, I was bored a lot as a kid because we were you know, I think the term now then was latchkey kid, but I didn't know that term at the times, Like I would come home, I my sister in that I know that, oh because you're it's basically like, yeah, your parents are working and so yeah, you're alone. So like we would come home and you know, we weren't allowed to watch TV, although we snook it for sure, but but we would do stuff because we were bored, and we weren't allowed to like go outside because you know, the neighborhood I grew up in wasn't like super like it wasn't a real ride your bike around the neighborhood neighborhood. So we were inside kids, and like my sister and I would make up board games. We would I would do like crazy collages. I would like cut up my sassy magazines. When I was really little, my mom got us they had like free art classes at the at the community college, and we would take them and we were like playing with clay and doing clay stuff, like when we were five and six, you know, like really little. So it's really early on that we had access to art. And my mom would take us to museums and like take us to the Museum of Natural History in Houston, or take us to the art museums in Houston so that we could see stuff when we were really little, because a lot of it was like you know, a lot of museums do like free days a couple days of month, and my mom would always take advantage of that. And so like, I just always felt like like I would cut up. I would get in trouble because I would like cut up my barbie clothes and stuff and like make them different. But like I would cut up my own clothes and I would get in super big trouble for cutting out my own clothes. I was just always had like a I always had like a different angle of looking at stuff.
What about you? Were you yeah, when you were little?
Yeah, I think I I Yeah, it was just sort of this natural gravitation. I mean I was in dance classes pretty young, starting at like three or four, and just stayed in them until I was you know, I mean I stopped taking dance classes in my early thirties. But I and I had a lot of there's a lot of artists in my family, like a lot of painters. My great aunt paters Piner and my great uncle was a sculptor, and we used to go to their house in Queen's like every Saturday growing up. And so they had converted their little and they had like a like a house like in Queens, because yeah, we're in Sunnyside like forever. And so they converted their garage or little one car garage and was my uncle's studio.
So there was all this, you know.
Sometimes there'd be like a huge block of marble in there and like, oh my god, something hap, yeah he's and we just and we would go in. We weren't like super loud in there. I have memories of him being in there working sometimes, but usually there was like socializing, but I guess if he was like into something, he wouldn't.
Take a break.
Yeah, And we would usually go in there to like look for tennis balls or whatever, to like play off the wall because I had one of those driveways that went down with so it was like in between two tall houses. Oh yeah, yeah yeah and and uh and then the main floor of their house was all my aunt's paintings and uh. And I just remember and I think just being and I just remember thinking their house was really cool. I loved like just roaming around and like looking at these paintings and these sculptures that I had seen a gazillion times and and same thing. My parents would take me to the museums in New York and uh.
And I think they kind of really fostered that.
Yeah, okay, so I want to read something of speaking about other artists that Dirk Blocker. Dirk Blocker, shout out Dirk from Brooklyn nine nine.
You know him do?
Dirk I think is just a phenomenal human being. But also he and I like talk though a lot about like acting stuff, And he mentioned this teacher that he had that was really really interesting, and he sent me an email about a bunch of stuff that this teacher said. And I think one of these like actually applies to everybody, even though they're not You might not necessarily be in the arts, but this is really interesting. When you watch children play Make Believe, they immediately accept their roles. When actors say I can't play that. His teacher's response, I think his name was Harry. When actors say I can't play that, his response was, if you can tap into your childlike innocence and use your limitless imagination, you can stop thinking like an actor, tap into your humanness, be childlike play the game. And that I think is the core of creativity Like if you can do.
That, play, it's play.
And so like I'm opening the fridge and going, what the fuck am I I gonna serve this picky ass toddler for it's like.
How do I play with what I have? How do I play?
Like?
Maybe it's like I'm gonna cut all this stuff up into weird shapes, or maybe I'm gonna make up a funny game that we can play while we eat the white rice that she inevitably gravitates toward, you know what I mean. Like, I think a lot of creativity is based in like how can I just like be free and play a little bit with this? It's not as serious as it as I'm making it out to be.
It's not.
It's not this like creativity doesn't have to be this mountain that you have to climb, right, it can just be a game.
Yeah, I can find and I can find play so freeing. Like sometimes that's such a great reminder because there'll be times where I'm like tired and stressed out and they are being whiny and I'm just like and yeah, something clicks, or like my partner David is really good at play and like kind of turned like just flicking the switch and making something playful and silly. And then I find myself going like, oh, whatever, fuck the bedtime tonight, like we'll be a little late, or like well, you know, and it ends up being a great night and the kids like do what you want them to do and like and you're also just released from just the expectations or the whatever that wasn't going right that you were like gripping onto and just it can just be so freeing to just yeah.
Say fuck it and let's just play.
Let's just play, and you're so right, And that's such a great way to also just access that. I think part of your brain that is is silly, imaginative.
It's there. It's always there.
Everybody did that, every single person, every serious grown up that you've ever met, was a little kid.
He played pretent mm hmm.
Everybody has it in them. It's not it's not like creativity is just for artists. It's for all of us. It's accessible in all of us. Just I think people that choose like the artists you know, path or whatever, the artist.
Way, artists way.
Wait, let's talk about the og The artist Way, which is a book I hate it by Julia Cameron The Artist Way Sorry of course, in book that helps people unlike the unlock their capacity for creativity, whether in art, at work, or in life. And it has been around forever. I think I first was given a copy in like high school. That's how long ago this book has been around.
I think I got a copy when I was when I first moved to New York, when everybody was doing it, and.
Everybody was doing it at one point, Yes, tell me why you hate it.
I just feel like I'm my. I mean, there's things in it that I like.
For example, I remember she would be like, oh, go out and you know, have artists. I think she's like artist dates with yourself or something like you do stuff for fun. Like that's kind of like what I was saying, Like I love.
Going to the museums or yes, I love that and stuff like that. Actually, like I'm gonna, you know, seriously, try to do that more.
Or like go to a movie by yourself, you know, like I used to do that a lot and I haven't done it in a long time.
Like things that that are that are just for you, you know, go to a bookstore by yourself and like look at a bunch of stuff. I liked that. What I hated was the morning pages.
The morning pages are I like, within an hour of waking up, you have to see journal I hate it doesn't work.
Journaling is not for you. But as someone who used to journal, I also could never do the morning pages. It's yeah, you're supposed to do it within like the first hour that you wake up. You're supposed to like free, write whatever. And if you don't know what to write, you just write. I don't know what to write. I don't know what to write.
This is so dumb.
I don't know what I'm doing, and you're supposed to do it. I don't remember how long you're supposed to do it. I think I remember eight pages. You have to finish three pages. It is okay, So we paid, and she'd be like, get us.
You can't do like a small notebook, like get a spiral notebook, like fill up a ball page. And I was like, bitch, what what life are you living that you can just sit around and fucking fill up. I have like a job I have to get to. I have to make my own shitty caree big you know.
What I mean.
That's like it lonutes over and I can't.
Do them later, Like I'm gonna have to get up at five am to do this bullshit.
I remember when I had.
A job in I had a job in a hell's kitchen and I was living in Brooklyn, and I'd be like getting up at like six am to do these stupid morning pages, hating my life, Like what is this giving me nothing?
I feel like I have a memory from college of attempting to do the morning pages and same thing, having like ballet class at nine am or eight thirty am and waking up and I am not a morning person, and so I would just sit there and be like this is torture and I hate this. I need coffee, I need quiet, I need to walk.
It honestly felt like and like that's writings as a punishment.
Yes, it felt like.
It, like it would be like I will be creative, like you have to write that one hundred times and then you will be It's like, no, that's not a recipe for anything but me hating the artist.
Yeah, I'm with you, and listen, if you're a person who I mean, it sounds like a lovely practice and perhaps if you're a morning person, you know the type of person like I know some people that way to cover, way to cover it, you know, wake up and like they fucking meditate in their bed for five minutes when they wake up.
Like that is that sounds lovely?
You probably would love morning pages and it would start off your day and like it's worth a try. But like I am and have never been a morning person. When I did journal, I used to journal at night before bed. Yeah, and uh yeah, that sh it's not for me. So I'm I'm an access my creativity through a cup of coffee.
Another way and.
Right like to me, that was also part of it, was like, so this is supposed to access my creativity, but I have these very intense strictures around how I get to access the creativity.
I remember that's what I did. I didn't like a deadline. I didn't like being told I.
Don't want them. You know, I don't want that, But I mean it works for a lot of people. Like breaks, let who are you in your three pages?
I feel like it the thing that I got. I mean, it's like anything I remember in acting school, they'd be like, listen, we're going to talk about all these different schools of thought, all of these different teachers and they all access you know, acting, they all access it in different ways. Like one of my favorite books is The Actor and the Target by Declan donnellan, and like that book is a lot about focusing on the thing that the character wants at any given time and it changes constantly within the scene. Yeah, and I've recommended that book so many times to people, and some actors will come at back to me and.
Be like that fucking sucked. I hated it. I hated how he said it.
I didn't understand it. And like creativity is so personal, it's so singular and personal, and.
It's not going to work for me, and you know, yeah, that's so take.
In control what you want and and like, well.
You have to find It's like I always liked the expression of like the actor's toolbox, of like this idea of just kind of learning about as many techniques as you can and like filling up your toolbox of the things how to look for you.
And I think that it changes.
Also, like as we get old, I have more experience, Like I just worked on something where I had to be world dramatic, more dramatic than I've been in a long time.
And uh, I.
Found that like some things that worked for me when I was younger don't really work for me anymore, didn't don't work anymore.
And then I got to find some.
New ways in to like figure out Oh shit, oh shit.
I was like, how this moment, I gotta get at it a different way. Yeah, I I just want to, like, before we wrap up, I want to tell this story about andre actually, yeah, because I had so much respect for andre I meek we all did on Brooklyn. We did, but we were doing this scene. It was a comedy scene, right, but he and I both had to.
Cry and oh I remember that scene. We were doing it and he wasn't getting it.
He was like, h like if it felt like we did it like three times and it was like he wasn't quite there.
And I meanwhile, I'm like, sobbing.
Well you cry cries, Yeah, you'd be like cry and at the top of a.
Hat, h I had a traumatic childhood, okay, But he he was like he was like he was so he was so confident, like he I don't even know if confidence a were, but like he turned to make up and he was like, give me the tearstick and I was like, what's that? And he goes oh, you've never used a tearstick? And it was one of those little sticks they sell them on the internet. You guys, teenagers, if you need to cry and tell it and stay home from school, I highly recommend. But they're these little they look like little chapsticks and you put them near your eye and your eyes tear up.
Yeah. And I had.
Never seen someone who I respect so highly as an actor use one of those.
I'd always thought it was cheating.
And I was like, Andre, you're cheating, and he looked at me and he was like he kind of laughed and was like, you know, he said something like, well, you know, it's you just need to use any tool that you can to get to get to the place where you need to get.
And I was like, oh, oh, that's so smart.
You know, if he wasn't gonna sit there and torture himself because he wasn't tearing up, he was gonna use a tool that allowed him to cry while still being like super funny, yeah and honest, And because for him, that's what he needed to create, what we needed for the scene to be funny, right, Like he if he was gonna really cry, it wouldn't have been at the level of comedy that we needed it to be, so he needed that tearstick.
I just thought that was so yeah, because the physical tears made that scene funnier, funnier.
Sometimes you can be crying and not even produce fucking real tears, tears like that if.
You're dehydrated, babe, Like if you're dehydrated baby, and they'll never come out. It's true.
I learned that the hard way on stage doing measure for measure one night, where I was like, what is wrong with me?
It's real shaking and snotty and no tears are coming down, like there's nothing coming out of my eyeballs.
Hydrate more better? Anyway, What did you come away with today? Come away with me that when accessing your creativity can be hard, but I feel like.
Very uh like less alone. I loved sharing these little stories with you because I was like, oh, it's not just me, and also so many great reminders too, just like I can't I'm gonna go to a museum by myself. I'm gonna like, oh my god, you're sure, Yeah, I'm gonna get it back into reading. What did you learn today?
You know?
I think I learned that I'm being really hard on myself about not being creative.
I'm being really hard on myself, like I don't do this, I don't do that, I don't do my guy.
Yeah, you are, and you're like one of the most creative people I know.
You are nice.
Maybe you don't have to do all this shit, Stephanie, because you just creative as hell.
Thank you. And but also it sounds like you do do the things that like.
Foster and nurture your creativity and they just maybe are like the things that are more unique to you.

Remember do you remember that sweatshirt that I had for a while, that's a basic on it.
