In this episode, we're diversifying our social microbiome. We're talking about why your social life deserves to be one of your top priorities — not just for dating, but for your friendships, your family, your career, your whole existence. We introduce some new lexicon (get ready for "social sauerkraut" and "social solar systems"), and we break down why people take you places, why the best way to meet people is through people, and why leaning too hard on your partner to meet every social and emotional need will backfire.

We get nuanced about the difference between having healthy boundaries and becoming a social germaphobe, and we make the case for tolerating a little dissonance in your social sphere because that's genuinely good bacteria. We also take a journey through my own social evolution — from misidentifying as an extrovert throughout my 20s, to the social overextension that fed into a full-blown burnout, to the contraction and reclusing that followed, to where I'm at now: back out on the scene with a sense of healthy limits this time. It's a stream-of-consciousness one, and I hope you enjoy floating through it with me.

Welcome back, Pillow Talkers!

In this episode, I share stories from various long solo road trips I've taken around the United States, including a recent three week West Coast tour. We discuss how these long solo road trips fuel my creative process and work, satisfy the core emotional need for variety and novelty, and ultimately serve my rooting and cultivating time at home. We chat about this concept of the different work modes of being "on tour" vs "in the studio," and how this duality is the spice of a creatively satisfying life.

In this ever so meta episode, we (re)start a conversation on  the struggles and wins of overcoming inertia to reignite our creative pursuits.

We discuss:

• The emotional and psychological challenges of restarting a creative project

• The importance of momentum and how to establish it with small actions

• Recognizing the role of perfectionism and inertia in creative work

• How self-awareness and self-coaching can help navigate avoidance behaviors

• The significance of aligning your work with your vitality and wellbeing
