Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Brianne Wik thought becoming a Young Adult Fantasy author was "impossible." But taking a cue from Lewis Carroll, Brianne dared to dream of impossible things. And because "tears are truth," Brianne took a leap of faith down the rabbit hole to write her first novel series: The Iridescent Series, a Cinderella retelling.

In this episode, Brianne shares her own writing process, including in-depth character profiles and how her experience in branding shaped that development; how she embraces calm; and what it means to let yourself go to the far reaches of what your mind once thought was possible.

The Iridescent Series book one, "One Iridescent Night," will be released June 29,  2021.

What does it mean for your creative self to be automatic? Plug and play? Set it and forget it? I've done copywriting and marketing work for the agriculture industry—mostly on the technology or equipment side—for several years off and on. And this phrase, "plug and play," which I used in brochures and social media captions at one point or another just struck me the other day as exactly the way the subconscious mind works.

In this minisode, I'm delving into this concept of the plug and play nature of our subconscious; why it's helpful to work with it; and a guided hypnosis audio to walk you through a meeting with your most creative self.

Today, I’m sharing a conversation with my friends, Mikaela Bolling and Emily Trickey—Mikaela and Emily are sisters, yogis, and co-owners of their boutique marketing agency, Brilliant Marketing. Brilliant Marketing helps change makers and industry innovators uplift their marketing and create more impact. 

We talk about starting meetings in a more mindful way; the progression Emily and Mikaela's lives took to end up with their own marketing agency (it includes an epic road trip); and how being a mom and running a business while tapping into your own authentic voice is a moment by moment journey.

In this episode, we talk to Mae Deevy—Certified Aromatherapist and Hypnotherapist—about finding your authentic voice, creativity, and how to embrace calm. 

Unconsciously, Mae has always been a storyteller—from creative writing in school, to middle school drama all the way though college as a vocal performance major. So becoming a hypnotherapist was a "homecoming" for her in a lot of ways. 

Mae first was introduced to subconscious story shifting when she started studying essential oils and learned how the life blood of plants can support the emotional center of the brain (otherwise known as the limbic system).  Mae combines the art and science of plants and storytelling to support transformation in her clients. She proudly resides in Austin, TX where she does her part in "keeping in weird."

This is such a fun episode and Mae walks us through a very poetic hypnosis session; you don't want to miss it.
