when thinking (or talking) about my business, there's at least twenty words I don't use -- many of them super basic, like "marketing," "sales," "landing page," "launch," or "productivity" ... even "goals." I've rewritten my own creative business dictionary -- because language shapes our relationship to our worlds. I'll list the words, and tell you what words I use instead.

rewriting my language helps me recreate my entire paradigm -- to create a business that values agency over manipulation, ecosystem webs over linear metrics -- and grow a system that I actually love, and want to live in.

I love making art in the void, and I've felt called to build a community. this calling is probably precisely because I have such a complicated relationship with community. I've run away from them. I've chosen self-exile. I've swung from hyper-independence to over-responsibility.

in this episode, I'll share how I'm thinking of shaping my community as creative companionship, bounded by shared questing. I'll explore my four guiding values for a community -- like caring for a garden, weaving a dream catcher, or making an infinite feast. A community can be a living creative practice that feeds our inner worlds.

today is an atmospheric map for our slow transition from winter into spring — through the archetypes of Pisces, Aries, and Taurus. we'll explore how to work with these energies in deepening into the creative life.

I'll share why thinking in seasons has become such an important practice for me, and my intentions for this coming season, along with personal life context. we'll dive into the three archetypes and their grounding theme words: Pisces (dreaming), Aries (instinct), Taurus (embodying), as well as the questions they invite us to contemplate.

this itinerary is the 12 week map for season 2 of Labyrinth Library, which opens Monday.

this is about trusting in the work you need, and how creating from necessity is a form of creative power, because it keeps you close to what's vital, alive, and electric -- more than any "should" energy ever could.

I'll explore how generative discomfort can be used as fuel for excavating creative potential, and how to sense into what's ready to be metabolized -- into medicine. I'll share concrete examples from my 11 years of obsessions, and leave you with questions to contemplate.

changing your relationship to money is not a 10 step checklist, it's tending to an ongoing practice -- with curiosity and tenderness -- as you do with your creative work. I'll share my own personal stories and significant reframes -- money as a circle, as feminine force, as a child of your creative energy.

I'll walk you through my 7 practices for working with money -- and invite you to see money as a portal for working with your sense of resourcedness, enoughness, worthiness to receive, and your power to claim what you desire.

part 3 of a mini-series

remember that your art is not an afterthought -- it is the center that holds everything. it's the life source that feeds your creative world. in this episode, I'll examine the ways we're taught to think about the binary of art vs. business -- and propose my third way of deep integration.

this means allowing your artist child to grow up -- and claim their voice, power, and leadership in the material world. I'll share how two forms of artist energy can exist in a business, and the importance of creating containers that actually allow your creative self to thrive. I'll leave you with guiding questions to consider on how to integrate your artist energy into your work.

part 2 of a mini-series

when tending to my business, I bring it back to two practices -- making offerings, and weaving my web. I share how I think about offerings as sacred containers, organic shapes, and potent distillations of your creative energy -- into usable form.

I'll talk about weaving your web as an energetically efficient, long-term strategy that builds your body of work, and invites people into your world. this episode is about all perspective shifts -- to reimagining business as a generative, potent creative practice.

to begin the new year, I’m creating a 3 part mini-series with grounding anchors; minimalist instructions for navigating the uncertainties of the creative life. when in doubt, or overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking, all you need to focus on is this — make the work, share the work. this is the equivalent of (in meditation), returning to the body, and the breath.

I’ll explore my 4 guiding principles (agency, process/pleasure, regenerativity, authenticity), and we’ll discuss the nuance of each word — what is “work?” what does it mean to “make?” what does “sharing” mean? my hope is that this episode will give you a gentle nudge to just do / make / share the damn thing — and learn your way in the process — whatever your thing is.

the vast majority of business advice has never worked for me, not because it was wrong, but because it didn't align with my energy, and the way I wanted to exist in the world. it took me years to build my own operating system -- a model for business that didn't make me want to burn it all down, ghost everything, and just get a day job.

I realized that I run my business like a super scorpio -- lunar, cyclical, waiting behind veils, operating from the depths. Far from being a weakness, that it's my greatest power. I'm calling this my"underworld business practices" -- and today, I've distilled them down into 8 parts to share with you.

who gives us the right to call ourselves "artists"? where do you source your sense of legitimacy and validity from? how do you face the voices of imposter syndrome and not-enoughness?

in this episode, we'll unpack the gap between self-perception, other-perception, and the daily process/practice of being an artist. I'll share why claiming yourself as an artist in the wild -- beyond all institutional validation -- is the most powerful thing you can do. you don't owe anyone an explanation.
