    On this week’s episode, I had such a fun and inspiring conversation with Laura Mitsu, an artist I met through Cathy Heller’s online classes.

      • 12: Right Where I'm Supposed To Be with Eric Hutchinson

        Listen to hear my attempt to keep my fangirl excitement at a minimum, and have a normal human conversation with one of my favorite musicians. HAHA Really though, it felt like chatting with a friend as Eric and I talked about his bouts with depression, his creative process, and the moments that stand out in his career.


        In this episode, we talk about:
        - Eric's creative process and how he makes time for songwriting with a busy schedule.
        - How depression kept him from truly enjoying some of the biggest moments in his career to date.
        - His daily routine and how he embraces dad life.
        - What inspires him to create, and what he does when he feels "blocked".
        - Who some of HIS favorite musicians are — and how he's introducing his daughter to good music.

      • 11: Success + Saturn with Ocean Pleasant

        Ocean and I share astrology friends, so I had heard her name mentioned for years before we connected, and I'm so glad our paths aligned! She is so insightful and intuitive at such a young age, and I loved our conversation for today's podcast episode. I know you will too!


        In this episode, we talk about:
        - How she left behind a high-pressured version of "success" to redefine success on her own terms.
        - The life changes that can happen during a Saturn transit, and what it means to have a Saturn return.
        - How to make time for your creativity and hold that space sacred.
        - Her journey of moving to Hawai'i for love!
        - Why TikTok is here to stay and why YOU should be on it!

        ABOUT OUR GUEST
        Ocean Pleasant is an Astrologer, Content Creator, and Cosmic Coach, whose career began in the startup industry. She was on Forbes 30 under 30 by the time she turned eighteen, and astrology found her at a time when she needed a realignment with purpose. In turn, astrology gave her a path forward to help other people find authentic purpose, too.

        Since launching her private practice, she's garnered over 400 clients, over 120,000 followers, and secured brands deal with major companies like Target. She left behind everything that wasn't sparking joy, and now works remotely in Hawai'i living life on her own terms.

      • 10: Presence, Preciousness and Play with Consie Sindet

        My mom introduced me to Consie's work on Instagram, and I was blown away by her cool, colorful, creative style. I've followed her for a while, so it was fun to be able to connect for this conversation and learn more about her creative journey. You will definitely be inspired to make time for creative play after listening to this chat about all things creativity!


        In this episode, we talk about:
        - Consie's creative journey and the time she tried to break up with her art
        - The importance of play in your creative pursuits
        - What creativity really looks like on a day-to-day basis (hint: it's not creating art journal pages every day!)
        - How to push through the fear of 'messing up' something that feels precious
        - How bringing Consie's work online has introduced her to a community of creative women around the world

        ***
        ABOUT OUR GUEST
        Consie Sindet is a Creative Mentor and Teacher. She believes that we should always be learning, growing, trying, failing and embracing the process. She's been teaching creativity in many forms for 18+ years and before online classes were even a thing, she taught in-person art classes to hundreds of women. Consie finds that art journaling is the most freeing way to express herself. She wants us all to know that we can find freedom, playfulness, and joy by slapping down some paint, gluing magazine pages to a piece of paper, adding doodling & marks, finding a quote that screams...'THIS IS HOW I FEEL TODAY!"...and calling it good enough.
