On mindtygers pt.1 w/ Charlie
Whilst writing about her experience of overwhelm, Freyia coined the term ‘mindtygers’ to describe the paralysis and distress felt by feeling overcome by all the ideas you want to bring into the world whilst not having the resources to complete them all. Charlie - a fellow creative - joins Freyia to explore this experience in all its facets.
