I am so excited to welcome Fanny Priest onto the show today!

Fanny Priest is a trauma repair coach with a background as a yoga therapist and she helps healers, feelers, queers and creatives repair their relationship with themselves so that they can feel at home in their bodies, their feelings and their needs. I have learned so much from this human, and I cannot wait for you to listen to this episode! 

In it we discuss: 

- The real definition of trauma (shock trauma versus developmental trauma and why it matters)

- Why developmental trauma is something that we all need to be more aware of and why it deeply effects our creativity 

- How our nervous system keeps us from our imagination and play, and how to work with it

- Why books like "The Artist Way" by Julia Cameron don't go far enough to address the root causes of our creative blocks

- The vulnerability of creativity and why it can feel impossible

- Finding safety in our bodies so that we can access our creativity 

- And soooo much more

In today's episode, Molly spoke with Alison Behrens-Braly. She is a self-care coach who empowers her clients through a focus on daily self-practices and a self-care focus during big life transitions. 

The conversation covers Alison's story, her deep dive into self-care out of necessity when she fell very ill unexpectedly, how we often get self-care all wrong, and practical tips to come back to yourself and reclaim your self-care. (Hint, it's not as complicated as you're making it)

In this episode, Molly chats with Anna Vos of Anna Parade. Anna has a sneaky feeling that every single person on this earth deserves to be celebrated - every single body, every identity, every gender - and she wants to throw a parade for every single one of you. That’s why she makes cool stuff (including mugs, t-shirts, pins, stickers and MORE) at Anna Parade! 

A little about Anna: she is a fat femme with zero chill. She has two kids, a great spouse, and lots of humans in her life that she just really likes. She is falling in love with her fat body. She enjoys playing games with friends, gardening, getting really excited about life in general.

In this interview, Molly and Anna talk about holding celebration as a value, the idea that rest is not wasted time, Anna's journey into body acceptance and coming home to herself - how that has strengthened her creativity and life force. This conversation is SO GOOD, and full of nuggets of wisdom. 

Transcripts are coming soon!

Today on the podcast, I'm talking with Charity Hamidullah! She is a full-time creative living and working in Atlanta, Georgia. During the day she pours her heart into body adornment for all complexions but once she goes home she is navigating through different forms of creation to express herself, including painting, drawing, illustration and digital art. 

We talk about the story behind her getting her start in tattooing at age 16, how Kat Von D. inspired her to follow that dream, and how her creative expression has shifted and expanded through the years. We discussed how creativity is a form of mindfulness and tattoos are a way to find and declare your identity to the world, as well as how she's tapping into her creative voice during this time in history, when we're all forced to slow down as a result of COVID-19. 

This conversation is a GOOD one, and I can't wait for you to dig in!

Jordandené is a leader in geek fashion, using hand-lettered designs to celebrate pop culture with clothing you can wear every day. Jordan is also the co-editor of The Sartorial Geek, a quarterly magazine, blog, and podcast promoting nerd culture, girl power, and general good vibes. 

We chat about Jordan's journey from running a geek fashion company,  realizing that there was a potential for so much connection through a community, and even creating a magazine about it! We get into the ups and downs of running a company during this time, how the community that Jordan has built has grown into something much more meaningful than she ever thought possible, and of course... lots of geeky goodness. This conversation was such a fun one, and I can't wait for you to hear more!
