Dennis had a week off this week, so instead of a random topic, I talk about Haters. Why do Haters Hate? It's a nice lil discussion that comes full circle at the end, when I start talking about Lucid Dreaming and how you can use them to start facing your fears. I also share a fun way of turning Haters into something positive, that I'm calling the Ice Cream Haters 10, and there's a lil bit about a new Art Challenge called the Cats of June 2019. As always, hope you enjoy it :)

As you can see, Dennis had a week off lol so instead of a random topic, I talk about Haters.

Why do Haters Hate? It's something I wasn't quite sure of at the start of the episode, but after talking about Lucid Dreaming in the second half, I realised it was all linked.

Lucid Dreaming is all about Facing your Fears, and Haters are coming from a place of Fear.

The main tings I talk about are

* How Haters can be a Positive thing, if you get your Head in the Right Place

* Why Do Haters Hate?

* How to Deal with Haters?

* How to Turn receiving Hate into a Fun Game

* Various Levels of Lucidity I've discovered

* Hate is coming from a place of Fear

* Lucid Dreaming is all about Facing your Fears

* The Power of Lucid Dreaming

I also share a fun way of turning Haters into something positive, that I'm calling the Ice Cream Haters 10, and there's a lil bit about a new Art Challenge called the Cats of June 2019.

As always, hope you enjoy it :)

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

'Talk About Sacrifice' was this weeks lil topic, not the human kind, but the every day sort of sacrifice :) It ends up going all over the place talking about the Struggles of Pursuing a Passion, while still getting the Bills Paid, what tings you Should and Shouldn't be Sacrificing, how Transitioning is maybe a Distraction, and how sometimes I feel like Life before Art was so much Simpler... hope you find it interesting :)

'You Don't Need Social Media' was this weeks lil topic, and I came away from this one thinking, Social Media is a Paradox, because as an Artist ... you don't need it, but you also do need it. Or do you? Maybe you only Feel like you need it? It's fascinating, but it seems to be about finding balance so that Social Media supports your Art Adventure, instead of becoming the Journey. Hope you enjoy this one.

'You Don't Need Social Media'

Selected by Dennis the Doggy :)

I came away from this one thinking, Social Media is a Paradox, because as an Artist …

...you don't need it, but you also do need it.

Or do you?

Maybe you only Feel like you Need it?

It's fascinating, but it seems to be about finding balance so that Social Media supports your Art Adventure, instead of becoming the Journey.

Hope you enjoy this one.

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

'Take off your Hat and Talk about your Hair' was this weeks random topic, selected by new employee Dennis the Doggy lol This was a scary episode, where I show my bald patches on camera and talk about my Hair Insecurities and Self Acceptance; I almost didn't release this one, through Fear of what people may say, but as I talk about on the episode ... the only way to deal with Insecurities is to start talking about them, which will hopefully lead to Self Acceptance. Hope you find this one interesting.
