I’m so glad you’re here for the first official episode of All of This & More.

Why It Matters: Every beginning is an act of trust—a step into the unknown, with the belief that something meaningful will emerge. In this episode, I share why beginnings matter to me, how they shape us, and why returning to the idea that “always, we begin again” can offer freedom and possibility in our creative lives.

>>> This episode is a solo reflection on the power of beginnings—how ballet classes in first grade, unexpected endings, and the cycles of creativity have shaped my story. 

>>> I talk about courage, surrender, and the invitation to embrace new chapters, whether they come with excitement or with loss. 

>>> I also offer a simple exercise to help you reflect on your formative beginnings and how they continue to shape who you are becoming.

This first mini-season features conversations with four wonderful women authors, as well as this solo reflection.
