An interview with Abby Robinson—a talented photographer, videographer, and more. As siblings with a similar personality type, we are able to provide a space of understanding for each other. Hopefully, you feel understood in turn. The conversation will be especially helpful for all you Enneagram 4s out there or for anyone wanting to understand the Enneagram type 4 a little more.

The conversation also moves into topics anyone can all relate to. Abby shares about her experiences of feeling stuck. She also shares a bit about her recent creative work, including a short film she shot and edited.

First episode of the podcast, and we’ve got poet and singer Teddy Holmes (aka Teddy the Brave) in the house! In our conversation, we explore common obstacles we face in our creative work, how to receive what others want to give, and how to let go of the scarcity mindset—the belief that there’s only so much to go around. We even touch on the idea of “The American Dream” and the collective changes we’re seeing in our time. 

And don’t miss Teddy reading from his new book entitled My Sweet Black: An Unruly Hymn. You can learn more about Teddy on his website, https://www.teddythebrave.com/. And go get a copy of his book here: https://www.teddythebrave.com/shop.
