This is the Her Process Bonus Episode! This micro pod is like a seven minute P.S. to Episode 38 with singer, songwriter, Maya. I’m asking Maya twelve questions that pertain to artists of all disciplines. And I have to tell you, she made the best argument in favor of having representation I’ve heard yet! In fact, all of Maya’s answers are thoughtful, and so much fun. Want more? Check out Maya’s pages on herprocess.com after the show. And now, here’s some quick inspiration with Maya!

Today, I’m chatting with singer, songwriter, Maya.

Maya started her musical career as a child, improvising blues on stage with her dad at the tender age of 11. Her current style is electric jazz, and you’ll get a taste of just what that means at the end of the show.

During our time together, Maya shares her experience of being on The Voice, Australia, and what it taught her about the music industry and about performing. She also tells us why she recommends other artist go on shows, such as the voice, and at what stages in an artist’s career she feels these types of shows would be most beneficial.

We talk social media, and the reasons why she doesn’t place too much emphasis on it. Maya takes us through her lyric and song writing process. We talk about booking gigs, and how she goes about it. And she has some great advice for artists who are just starting to pursue their careers full time.

The episode you're about to hear is filled with so much good stuff, and you'll get to hear one of Maya's songs at the end of the show! So, let's get to it! Here's my chat with singer, songwriter, Maya.

It’s the Her Process Bonus Episode! This micro pod has some quick insight as to what makes Amy Crosby, the front woman of the band Shitting Glitter, tick. Want more? Check out Amy's full length chat on episode 37 after the show. And now, here’s five minutes of fun with Amy Crosby!

Today I have the pleasure of chatting with Amy Crosby, of the band Shitting Glitter. Yes, you heard me right, Shitting Glitter. Her band was part of the LA music scene for years, and now she is firmly rooted in Long Beach (just south of LA), which she says is a very supportive community for artists of all genres.

As an artist who has been at it for years, Amy gives us insight into the incarnations of a musician and her band. How band mates have come and gone (not from her life, but from the band), and how she’s come to the conclusion that it’s best to play with professional musicians that she brings into her band, rather than people who she relates to every day.

As of late, Shitting Glitter was on a little break, and in that time Amy’s been painting. She’s gone from someone who had never painted to someone who’s painted over 200 paintings in two years, and who’s work is showing in a gallery!

And now, Amy’s back in the music scene, and her latest project, the Nasty Woman Concert Series, is happening this Saturday, July 8th! Amy opens up about the reason and the feelings behind the Nasty Woman Concert, and she talks about the importance, especially in the current political climate, of taking action. Like I said, the concert is happening this Saturday, July 8th in Long Beach, California. Wait until you hear the lineup…it sounds like it’s going to be an amazing show!

It’s the Her Process Bonus Episode! This edition features comic book artist and author, Yumi Sakugawa. Just after recording episode 36, I asked Yumi to stick around and answer twelve questions that pertain to artists of all disciplines. Her answers were so unique and awesome that at some points, I actually had to force myself to move on and not dive into those answers. I mean, it’s a 5 minute micro-pod after all!

Today I’m chatting with comic book artist and author, Yumi Sakugawa. I personally have several of Yumi’s books, including I Think I Am In Friend – Love With You, Your Illustrated Guide To Becoming One With The Universe, There Is No Right Way To Meditate, and her latest …The Little Book Of Life Hacks, How to Make Your Life Happier, Healthier, and More Beautiful.

And her comics! Yumi writes and draws feelings…feelings that we’ve all experienced. Her stories spring up around these deep truths, and I think that’s why, at least for me, once I started reading her work, I craved more. It’s like Yumi just gets me. :) She puts the human experience on paper. And in talking with her here on the show, and getting a glimpse into how she creates, I understand why her words and drawings evoke that sense of familiarity wrapped up in something that is just so magical.

We talk books, comics, zines, traditional publishing, self publishing, tools of the trade, inspiration, and really, so much more! I’m super excited to share with you, my chat with Yumi Sakugawa.

This is a micro pod that’s like a 10-ish minute P.S. to Episode 35 with singer, songwriter, Shelley Segal. I ask Shelley twelve questions that I ask each of my guests, regardless of discipline. It’s fun to see how their answers differ, and how they don’t! Want more? Check out the photos and fun facts on Shelley's Ep. 35 page, at www.herprocess.com

As artists, we can all agree that whatever we’re passionate about in life influences our work. It’s what our art is based on, really. Today's guest's story illustrates this point beautifully. I'm delighted to be chatting with singer, songwriter, Shelley Segal.

Now, a lot of us are taught not to talk about religion or politics in polite company. Well, one of those topics comes up in today’s episode. And I’m going to say a word now, that I’ll admit, as someone who was raised in the Christian faith, has always made me a little uncomfortable. The word is Atheism.

My guest today, has been called the “pin-up girl for the Atheist movement”. And I have to tell you, that her genuine caring for all people, just the love for humanity you can feel when you’re talking with her...well, I don't know what I expected exactly, or was taught to believe about Atheists. I will tell you that what I see in Shelley is the kind of person I hope I am. 

Raised in a Jewish family, Shelley opens up about questioning certain beliefs, the journey to finding answers that resonated with her as a human being, and how these answers lead her to secularism. She shares how her search, and ultimately the community that she found, helped shape her music…well, a good chunk of it anyway. There’s so much more to her story, and so much more to her art.

During our chat, we also discuss how her career took shape, and the different genres which have influenced her many sounds. And, she explains Patreon to me, and why she and her fans love the Patreon experience she is able to create for them.

In opening up about her journey, Shelley illustrates a bit of her story through song. And oh, what songs she chose. You’ll just have to hear for yourself.
