Welcome to another episode of Your Creative Chord Podcast! In this episode, I share my personal journey of overcoming obstacles while juggling multiple roles and caring for my 84-year-old Mom. I explore the power of embracing and sharing our struggles as a way to practice authenticity and self-compassion.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How sharing mistakes and failures can deepen our connections with others and inspire more authentic interactions.
• Insights from Louise Penny’s book inspired by Leonard Cohen’s lyric, illustrating the beauty found in imperfection.
• The impact of resilience and persistence through personal anecdotes and the metaphor of a determined little girl trying to mount a pony.
• My practical approach to managing multiple roles and creative projects, emphasizing the importance of embracing vulnerability and the lessons learned from setbacks.

Tune in to discover how to turn your obstacles into opportunities for growth and maintain your creative spark through life’s challenges.
