When you decide to level up in life, not everyone will go with you. And that's OK. They don't have to!

You can't do this. You can't do that. You don't have the talent. It'll never work.

SAYS WHO?

ACCORDING TO WHO?

A bunch of haters or losers who have nothing going on for themselves? They can keep it. We're not taking that energy into 2026. 🧹

In this episode, I'll cover Ken Atchity's book, How to Quit Your Day Job and Live Out Your Dreams: A Guide to Transforming Your Career. 

Sounds great. But... some of his advice seems a little risky to me.

Let's explore the good, the hmm, and the uh-oh.

In this conclusion of my mini-series, I'll cover what I learned from Weeks 11 and 12 of Julia Cameron's wonderful book, The Artist's Way. 

✔️ Recovering your autonomy. This is HUGE. Especially in today's job market and economy. 

✔️ Recovering your faith. Faith can feel like the ultimate f word sometimes, can't it?

✔️ Can you live off your wits? Can you really depend on a j-o-b or even a business right now?

In this episode, I'll cover what I learned from Weeks 8, 9, and 10 of Julia Cameron's wonderful book, The Artist's Way. 

✔️ Recovering your senses of strength, compassion, and self-protection.

✔️ A blockage doesn't automatically mean lazy. It often indicates a sense of fear.

✔️ In any business, how can you turn loss into gain? What can you learn from it?

✔️ What happens if you pour your heart into a project and it flounders?

In this episode, I'll cover what I learned from Weeks 6 & 7 of Julia Cameron's wonderful book, The Artist's Way. 

✔️ Recovering a sense of abundance. This one is huge for a lot of us, especially in tough economic times. 

✔️ Julia's assignments involve "archaeology." Where did your ideas about scarcity come from? I argue that, in many cases, they aren't even your own.

✔️ Criticism stings. A jerk who leaves a nasty comment hurts your feelings. You can't allow those things to derail you forever.

In this episode, I'll cover what I learned from Weeks 4 & 5 of Julia Cameron's wonderful book, The Artist's Way. 

✔️ Week 4 = reading deprivation, which was incredibly hard yet also highly rewarding for me.

✔️ Possibilities. You gotta believe in them, even if you are blazing your own trail without a firm role model. 

✔️ When you journal, are you being honest with yourself? Don't tiptoe around your feelings. Drag it out onto the paper.

In this episode, I'll cover what I learned from Weeks 2 & 3 of Julia Cameron's wonderful book, The Artist's Way. 

✔️ Beware of the wounded birds and drama queens who wish to siphon your energy and attention.

✔️ Synchronicities happen for a reason. You don't have to play hard and be a cynic about everything. 

✔️ Who are you spending time with? Is it enriching or draining?

Back in 2022, I warned you that influencers can leave you broke if you listen to random idiots. And here we are again. 

I'm taking a short interlude from my experiences in The Artist's Way to repeat myself: listen to goofballs with bad advice at your own risk! The career you obliterate may be your own. 💥

In this continuation of my journey through Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way, I'll cover my own experiences with Week 1, which focuses on recovering your sense of safety.

✔️ Many parents don't say, "Experiment. Try it out. See what happens." A toddler making a finger painting? Sure. But teens ready to decide what to do in life? Nope. It's all about money and the ability to find a job. 

✔️ Early criticism can stay with us if not properly exorcised.

✔️ Shadow artists are frequently found attached to practicing artists.
