Artists Becoming episodes

  • Madison Keesler | The Potential of Empathy & Authentic Artistry

    Madison Keesler has captivated us as a truly original Artist since we were itty bitty’s, sharing studios in San Francisco. In today’s chat, she dives boldly into the story of her Becoming: 

    From the dusk & dawn of her mental health journey to the recognition of *knowing when to seek help*. . . the well from which she transforms her lived experience into her own brand of authentic artistry reaches deep. We talk leadership traits (and aspirations), the power of open palms, the potential of empathy & the unfolding freedom of showing up for yourself, honestly. Grab some tea & stay a while…this one had us leaning in. Connect with Madison on IG @MadisonKeesler

  • Dylan Moscovitch | The Evolution of Self & Love as Intrinsic Motivation

    Awe-inspired & buzzing from this conversation with Olympic Figure Skater, Wellness & Mindset Coach, & true seeker, Dylan Moscovitch. He’s a Real One. Buckle up for this live-from-Wimbledon chat that unravels his drive to Win, unfolds the evolution of relationships (with self & partners) and deeply questions the identities we cling to, as people who’ve found & followed a Calling. We jump from intrinsic motivation to ego-dissolution, and pause for every profound word of hard-earned wisdom in between.

  • Devon Teuscher | Reframing the Narrative & Embodying Openness

    This conversation with the lovely, embodied & present Devon Teuscher left us buzzing… from identifying/processing grief and metabolizing injury, to navigating the “dancer identity crisis” & multi-dimensional artistry, Devon walks us through her Process for staying grounded in her ascent to Becoming. 

    We talk about the power of reframing self-talk, how knowing your strengths/weakness translates into authentic art, and the necessity of using your voice to carve paths for intentional growth… Devon models stardom from the roots up & we want what she’s having!

  • Meryl Davis | Becoming Beyond the Podium & Redefining Success

    Meryl Davis has a heart of Gold and doesn’t need a medal to prove it (though admittedly, she has two). In this Guest Artist conversation, we follow along her journey of Becoming towards and beyond the Olympic podium… gleaning life-lessons, profound realizations and resonance from every step, skate and story. We bounce from acknowledging our value apart from our art to the preciousness of a strong support system… glide from identity reconciliation to the perils of conflating success with happiness. Tune in as we travel along this Artist’s early connection to her calling, following the people, purpose-driven perfectionism and strength-shield-surrendering that have paved her way smooth beyond the ice.

Turn the volume UP on this one, Harper is a 10/10 and we *fully* subscribe. Connect with Harper, IG: @theharperwatters
