Revealing your authentic self is often harder than it should be. For many of us, exposing our creativity can feel like baring ourselves naked for others to leer at. Yet, if Dalton Steinert and I had not each individually done this, the conversation you're about to hear would never have taken place.

In this episode, Dalton, who cohosts the Readers Turned Writers podcast, shares how finding courage is key to realizing the amazing experiences that are waiting for you – and how you can actually become quite acclimated to people staring at your naked creativity.

Key Takeaways from this episode:

• Everyone has a creative bone in their body.
• Taking the first step is hard but it gets way easier after that. So have the courage to be your authentic self.
• Glow and grow, friends. Glow and grow!

Getting Past Perfection with Tawny & Felicia from the Two Chicks and a Horror Flick Podcast

 If you’re on the fence about doing something – anything – these women will inspire you to do it. In this episode, Tawny Rea and Felicia Conner from the Two Chicks and a Horror Flick podcast talk about their journey to create a podcast, and how they’re bringing joy into the world by doing what they love.

We talk about how showing up and doing something that lights you up can change the world. Realizing how creative you really, truly are. How to overcome imposter syndrome. And how this belief that you don’t have anything to contribute is a lie you’re telling yourself.

Here are the five big takeaways from this episode

1. Do it because you love it. If it’s something you enjoy, other people will like it, too.
2. It’s really hard to start with perfect. So just do it. “Slap it together.”
3. Screw the rules and don’t get stuck in “best practices.”
4. You have something to contribute to the world.
5. Follow the whisper. Lean all the way in.

In this episode, I share a three-step process for examining fears both big and small, and how changing your relationship with those fears can propel you past whatever is holding you back from what you really want to achieve.

This week we're joined by my wonderful friend, Rusty Bilberry, and I cannot wait for you to hear his story. Rusty is one of our greatest contributors and a frequent co-host in The Creative Commute Facebook group, where he currently hosts weekly Unicorn Yoga for the group of 700+ creativity-loving humans.

Enjoy this conversation with one of the dearest people in my life.


Key takeaways from this episode:

• Your thoughts shape your reality, so use your brainpower to think about the things that will serve you.
• Self care is about more than lattes and baths. Though those are nice, too, it's really about caring for yourself.
• It's okay to ask for help. You don't need to live on Self-Sufficient Island all by yourself.

Creativity. We often think of it as the end result of a process. But, in reality, creativity is found around every corner and bend on the journey to that end result. In this episode, we break down what it means to BE creative and how each of us, whether we consider ourselves to be “creative” or not, are capable of even more of it than we give ourselves credit for.

At the beginning of 2020, Holly Danger’s business was thriving. She’d left her corporate job in pursuit of her dream as a self-employed designer of immersive art installations. She’d just nabbed a massive project destined for Times Square. Everything was awesome. Then, well… we all know what happened. Hear how Holly shifted her focus – and her entire medium – to help others when they needed it most. And how this kept her business moving.

How is worry, the silent thief, popping in to steal your present joy? This episode is for all kinds of worriers. (If you’re a level 5,000 worrier, listen to it at least twice!)

Jen talks about the journey she’s on to take down her personal arch-nemesis, how worry-thoughts make us less prepared to deal with bad situations, and she also shares the tactics she’s found to best wrangle this wily beast.

Tactics shared in this episode:

1.     Write your worries down. Getting them out of your head is like designating a special worry period where it’s okay to think about all the worries for 10-20 minutes a day. You’re focusing on them in a productive way that gets them out of your brain and onto paper.

2.     Every time you catch yourself having a worry-thought, do something positive. Walk around the block. Go get a drink of water. Pet your dog. Read a page of a book or an interesting online article. This helps your brain interrupt the worry pattern and teaches you that you have control over your worries.

3.     Meditate. Yes, it seems like an easy, predictable answer. But seriously, meditation allows you to step back from your conscious worry so you can see how the thoughts come and go through your brain. You have the power to pause them anytime.
