  • 14 - Past Crises Can Help us Navigate This One
    Having lived and worked through both the tragic times of 9/11 and the “Great Recession” of 2008-2009, I share in this episode what I’ve learned from those times and how I lean on that experience to help me navigate today’s global pandemic and economic shutdown.

  • 11 - Imperfect on Purpose
    We’ve all heard “The Joy is In The Journey” or “Progress not Perfection” or “The Creative Process is Not a Straight Line” - yet so often I’ve felt pressure to only share the “finished products” with others. During this global “pause” what would it look like if we all became just a little more willing to share more of our creative process at all stages? What would be possible if we all allowed ourselves to be more imperfect on purpose?

  • 9 - Dealing with Fear and Uncertainty
    As the corona virus pandemic grips the globe, we are facing unprecedented amounts of fear and uncertainty. I share some ways I’ve stayed grounded through this, and also offered an invitation for my fellow artists to step up in this moment and create more than ever! My “why statement” was co-created with the coaching of Becca Brunelle (google her and tell her I sent you for a “why discovery” session)

  • 8 - Vulnerability Fatigue
    Constantly stretching our comfort zone and being vulnerable can lead to tremendous growth, but it can also burn me out! Today I riff on my theory of “vulnerability fatigue” as inspired by the great Brene Brown’s work on this important topic area. Is it time to take a “rest day?” from being so vulnerable, just like we take rest days from working out? If so, how do we know when it’s fatigue and not fear? Hmmmm.
