y'all, this is a vulnerable one. in this episode I share my feelings of loneliness from both living in lock-down land, but also the undercurrent of loneliness that has followed my creative path for several years now. I talk about receiving support, about how the isolation in the feeling leaves me disconnected & unable to reach out. oh, aaaand of course shame stops in to say hi. this is for all of us who need to feel a little less alone.

being in some heavy energy, I try to articulate how I'm beginning to really fathom that I am responsible for creating my life. I notice how this could be the (hopefully) final frontier to accept before I can finally take myself to the next level. but it's daunting as shit. my body/mind (read: ego) are screaming at me that it's dangerous, but my heart & soul have places to go & art to create. it's been a lonely road so far & I'm starting to see, I need to allow support in this pursuit.

I walk you through today's creative session with my songwriting, bookwriting & instagramming. I talk about how I am regaining hope to some day be able to write music I love again. & also, wouldn't you know it -- today, writing my book & writing an IG caption had one common denominator; judgment! yay! I tell you how I recognize judgment all over the place & how it's a first class ticket to shame, fear & creative & personal blocking.

I start this episode with a follow up & cool down after the last, groundbreaking episode--life is both the breakthrough days & the drowsy days, which episode really exemplifies. I also share exciting news about a new podcast-project I'm starting. despite the fact that I still need to take some major decisions about the project, I talk about why I am taking ACTION already & finally just doing shit.

y'all.... THIS IS A BIG ONE. for the first time ever, I share publicly how a PTSD-diagnosis has been & still is a huge part of my creative recovery. I've been hesitant to share this though, because of fear of judgment & backlash, but I am a point where I CAN'T let my mental health hold me back any longer. I am done resisting the future I dream of because I think my health can't handle it. sharing this is vulnerable & scary as fuck, but it is time.

Coming off of a three-hour spiritual retreat, I go full out on all my spiritual freakiness. I talk about what spirituality means to me & my creativity, how I’ve felt ashamed to call myself spiritual (openly) & how I’m currently struggling with a narrative of feeling unworthy of the universe's support. I really let my unashamed self out in this one, y'all. uh, and I also reveal the original name I had for this podcast!

a little update on how it's been returning to my daily creating after the short break. how my shitty song #4's coming about, the book writing is starting to flow & perfectionism showing up with my IG posting. also, I talk about the test I'm being put through by the municipal systems to stand in my power, speak my truth & respect my boundaries--even when I'm not believed or supported in doing so.

longer update episode ahead! after a week off, I allow myself a little more time in this episode to uncover how I've been feeling while resting & playing a prestigious gig backing my girl GRETA (more links below) on national TV. I reflect on how I can feel a shift in how I relate to the industry, how I am embodying all the progress I've made this last year. & I witness some 'new' narratives around comparison & not being good or 'right' enough to fit the bill as an music artist.
