Terri Trespicio is the author of the fabulously helpful and hopeful book, Unfollow Your Passion: How to Create a Life That Matters to You, which was named one of the best feel-good reads of the year by the Washington Post. Her book is based on her TEDx talk, which is called Stop Searching for Your Passion and has been viewed 8 million times. Terri opens that talk recounting the day she got fired from Martha Stewart's Whole Living magazine, which is where I was lucky enough to meet, work with, and become friends with her.
Today, Terri is an in-demand speaker, a brand strategist, a writing teacher, a standup comedian, and always a writer whose work can soothe you, crack you up, and crack open possibilities in your mind all at once.
If you can't tell, I love her. In this first part of her interview, we unpack:
- The thought process on whether or not you should stop working for yourself and go get a job
- How creativity is more like a butterfly than a workhorse
- One of the best things you can do to promote creativity (hint: it’s not what you think)
- Terri’s morning routine in detail
- Writing in your robe
