On this episode my husband joins me to chat about the past 13 months. It has been one hell of a ride but there were more good things than challenging ones. This episode was recorded after a scrumptious dinner, so we might have been in a food coma 😂😂😂

On this episode, I share my journey of trying to figure out a creative career. There are a lot of starts and stops with some lulls in between. A journey that started at 10 years old has been a steep learning curve that has led me back to the beginning, the basic joy of creating.

By listening to this episode, you will learn a few things on what might be feeding the non-starter pattern and tips I am using to stay true to the craft.

I was 8 months into my immigration journey when the pandemic hit. That was followed by the 2020 election and what felt like chaos for a couple of years. Barely made it out with my head straight but I have a few tips on how we can (maybe) survive this time around.
