Living It, Not Performing It
Friday, 23 October, 2026
I was watching a video of someone’s cosy autumn plans, with a pile of board games sitting right in front of me, unplayed. Oh.This week: the difference between living something and performing it (or planning it, or watching other people do it). I explore where it creeps into seasonal living, mothering, and creativity, and why “how did that look?” is such a hard filter to switch off. Then I set myself a handful of unpolished experiments, and invite you to try your own.In this episodeThe sofa moment: craving the idea of a board game rather than the board gamePlanning, talking about it, and posting it all feel like doing (but are they?)Where “watching myself” shows up: seasonal living, mothering, creativityLooking vs feeling: how we judge whether something was worthwhileThe experiments: tuning into feelings before, during and after; following the feeling rather than the image; moving faster; sharing less; a sensory portrait instead of a photoThe tension I haven’t resolved (slow down to feel, speed up to skip the filter)MentionedWomen in the Picture by Catherine McCormack the book that’s been shaping this thinkingTry it with mePick one thing you keep absorbing, planning, or scrolling about. Do it this week, unfiltered and uncaptured, and let me know how it felt.Stay in touchI write on Substack every week: https://creativemumsclub.substack.comI’d love to hear where living vs performing shows up for you. 🍂
