The Unmistakable Creative Podcast

Janelle Hanchett wasn’t sure if she was crazy or the rest of the world was when she became a mother. She saw all the ideals and characters of “motherhood” and realized she didn’t fit hardy any of them. So she began her blog, Renegade Mothering, to see if others felt that same way. She attempts to break down the cultural narratives of what being a mother truly is, and she discusses her addictive past as well.

Janelle Hanchett created the blog Renegade Mothering in 2011 to determine if the rest of the mothering world was crazy or she was. She invited readers to join her in “the fight against helpful parenting advice” and wrote candidly about the darker sides of motherhood, including her own recovery from alcoholism. She’s the author of I’m Just Happy to Be Here as well.

In this episode of Unmistakable Creative, we delve into the mind of Anders Ericsson, a globally recognized psychologist and professor at Florida State University. Known for his groundbreaking research on the psychological nature of expertise and human performance, Ericsson introduces us to the concept of 'deliberate practice'. This method, he argues, is the key to achieving superior performance in any field, be it music, chess, medicine, or sports.

Ericsson's work challenges the notion that 'practice makes perfect,' asserting that the quality of the practice is far more important than the quantity. He emphasizes that practice must be deliberate and focused rather than mindless repetition. This episode explores how to apply deliberate practice not only to technical fields and artistic pursuits but also to our everyday work lives.

Listeners will gain insights into how expert performers acquire their superior skills and how they can apply these principles to their own lives. Whether you're an aspiring musician, a budding chess player, or a professional seeking to excel in your field, Ericsson's insights will provide you with the tools to master your craft through deliberate practice.
