Our good friend and former FFS event coordinator Maddy Griffin joins the podcast to talk about myths, hostings events, AI, and being an artist in 2025. Maddy has over 10 years of experience building events and communities from the ground up. She just launched an incredible offering called From Coach to Host

The audio on the audience question at the end of this podcast cuts out half way through. Here’s the question for reference:

“I live in a big city where there are LOTS of events happening at all times, many planned by larger & bigger budget operations than myself. plus it feels as though since Covid, getting people to leave their houses for any reason is more of a monumental task. how do we rise above the noise and give enough incentive for folks to take the plunge and come out to try something new! *particularly for a series, I've tried to do those in person and people seem very cautious to commit to multiple days over a 6/8 week span in person together, even if they enjoyed the first one. thank you”

Anna McCoy is an artist, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, & creator of My Body of Art living in Asheville, NC. Through My Body of Art, Anna offers 1:1 somatic sessions, facilitates creative discovery experiences, and shares her original paintings to connect people back to their inherent wisdom and practice reorganizing our energy through aligned expression. 

This is an absolute banger of an episode... Anna tells us the story of Spirit and how her childhood experiences in sports and church have shaped her relationship with God. She drops nuggets on how we can relate to each other from a place of love without betraying ourselves and the synchronicity of discovering The Myths that Make Us. Anna is a beautiful example of someone who truly shows up in service to the world.
