Ep. 185: What’s “process art”?! And why it will change you with Meri Cherry!

Wham Bam thank you ma’am! This episode is all about continuing to truck on when it feels real hard! I **get** that a lot of my episodes seem to be about that, but can you blame me?! I mean, freaking life! It can get you down, and it’s easy to start believing that our dreams, or our hopes are silly, selfish, and will never come true.

So I am sharing my major life shift, a key perspective that I have changed, that has truly changed my entire EVERYTHING! It hasn’t been easy—and I need lots of reminders and learning along the way, HA!  But I’m sharing it with you, as I struggle to believe it for myself, but can clearly believe for you!

Ep. 184: If it’s not working, what’s the point?

In this episode we answer these listener questions & more!

** ”With the new year upon us, I have historically always fretted over setting goals and resolutions. I’ve found as that I have become more “me” and forgiving and loving of myself I have NO desire to set goals or resolutions this year. Do you grapple with this? Thoughts?”

** “I want to do ALL the things! How do I pick one to start with?”

** “How do I grapple with wanting to LIVE and feeling like I need to be more responsible? I’m 26 with 2 babies- nowhere near being able to afford a down payment but possibly able to buy tickets to japan in the next year! I want to do it so bad but feel so stupid for maybe making 32 year old me angry for not buying a house. Is owning a home everything in this life?????????”

“Though we can’t change what it is we are noticing. We can change our ability to notice.” - Rick Rubin 

In this quick episode, Eric and I are sharing a few ideas around changing what you notice! We talk about why that can be hard, but also how shifting out of a survival mode can propel you into your power as a creator! And it’s really fun and good!

I talk about Rick Rubins “The Creative Act”
