MINDFULL Creators

It's December 4th, 2025 and we've got a Full (I said New in the audio) Moon in Gemini, which is here to support release, encourage clarity, & uplift communication. With that, I strongly felt pulled back to the recordings I made for myself about a year ago. I'd found The Body Keeps The Score at my sister's house which turned into one of the most critical tools to understanding m...

The girlies are back on the last day of Scorpio season, talking animals for the first 10+ minutes (how wholesome), segue-ing? into anxiety, followed by a smattering of mental, emotional, and spiritual health concepts. Also, I had my fake nails removed the other day so typing on here feels pretty incredible. With depth & ascension, -MINDFULL Creators

With a splashy return, reminiscent of Michael Jordan back to #23, Dexter in New Blood, or Only Murders In The Building, the insatiable MINDFULL Creators, Devon Herrera and Ian T. Segears, reclaim their voices, courtesy of Adam Newacheck's RODE microphones that we'll likely never return. You can expect to hear about the Shakespeare class we recently took, thanks to the generous offerings of...

Devon Herrera here - I usually write up the show notes for our podcasts - I kind of pride myself on the ability to summarize our conversations in a nice little blurb, but this one is very different.     For me, growing up in a small town (Prescott, Arizona) meant I didn't experience a lot of diversity when it came to skin color.  According to my memory, in high school we had a mere two black b...

Welcome to a MINDFULL reading, or should we call it MINDFULL entertainment? Or neither, once you listen to some REAL BTS. We'll decide when the time is right, but in this mostly unedited episode, ladies, gentlemen, the LGBTQ community, and everyone able to comprehend such an expression, we're taking a turn from our usual format (if we even have one yet) and script reading today, courtesy of the in...

Carli Stump visits the pod for Cosmos with Carli, and our third in-person interview... it's getting fun, guys.  That said, we could use an assistant... where all the ambitious interns at?? Devon met the magnetizing, fun-loving, Carli (Senior Brand Strategist) through contract work, just a few months ago, and she's the organized fairy godmother... more like sister... cousin?... we all need....

She's Baaaack! To open 2023, Devon's sister, Darryan, the podcast's original cohost, joins MINDFULL in studio.   Darryan is here in LA for New Years Eve to discuss her 2022 storm, bringing up a classic (chicken-man, anyone?) for the original listeners.   Devon can't stop referencing Glass Onion, Ian opens the door for youth merchandising, and Darryan's variety of interests can&...

We're on the couch for our last episode of 2022 - embrace the magic couch (and friendly neighborhood car screeches) where our conversations started, where we've cried more than a few times where we watched our first movie together.  It "wasn't a date."  Just like this wasn't "supposed" to be a podcast - we just spent 3.5 hours talking and figured, you know what, some of this is gold (including how...

It's the first in-person interview out of the LA Arts District, featuring Moses Lawi - filmmaker from Tanzania (East Africa) that found his way to Phoenix, Arizona, meeting and casting our very own Ian T. Segears in the award-winning GOLDS. "When I submitted to the festival, I went in with the idea that it was really good; that I'd get asked, 'where's the full length?'&quo...

As the clock strikes midnight on Devon's birthday and she's finished editing the first video podcast (recorded on an iPhone while the Canons sit idly by just watching our rookie mistakes), I can't help but be proud.  Sure, of the fact that I've now written a blog, edited a video, uploaded said video, uploaded the podcast, and am now writing the summary, but mostly, for the reasons...

This week, everyone's favorite creator duo hits the dance floor, from the nightclub to the studio, to the spectacle of Violent Night, courtesy of our local cinema - The Alamo Drafthouse.  Listen to their thoughts on Brett Austin Johnson as he shares his Red Table Talk Link in reference to the below -  https://www.etsy.com/listing/1351249258/creator-feature-who-do-i-feel-my-best?click_key=9b3ed1a71...

Hello, good people of Earth!  Leaning into the inspiration we're gleaning from our network of creators, Devon and Ian bring to you the extremely special talent and heart of Elizabeth Martin as she shares her creative process, her storytelling prowess, and how she's maintained her own unique flow of it all.   Thank you for sharing yourself with us in all the ways, Lizzy! We're aiming for a full fea...

This week, Ian and Devon made it super difficult for themselves, not by their idea to feature a guest speaker, but in the execution.  As such, you have one episode turned into two.   It's 7pm in California and our team's gotta make their way to AZ for the holidays, meaning, no more show notes.  I know, y'all are so disappointed.  We Hear You to See You https://linktr.ee/devonherrera

In our first edition of featuring guests, we chopped episode 14, added clips, lost files when editing, re-recorded... but that's enough complaining - it was all worth it as Director/ Film Maker, Adam Newacheck dropped some beautiful knowledge for the listeners hoping for some inspiration from a creator.   Once we get better at this, we'll plug their info here, probably update the cover art, you kn...

We start with our Weekly Recap - Devon & Ian visited The Huntington Library/ Art Museum/Botanical Gardens .  Ian gave up gaming to really focus on being present with what he wants out of life. Devon's headache led to an eye-opening experience while watching Harmony Korine's The Beach Bum - which, Ian has decided is his favorite movie.  Staying true to our spontaneous fashion, the two d...

Buckle in, for a raw, no-music, no-Ian episode, straight from Devon's iPhone, just like the good ol days podcasting with sister and best friend, Darryan... we'll see if she joins us for a Thanksgiving episode.   In the meantime, join in the exploration of this week's theme, as Devon traverses the highs (inspiration, creativity, action, and abundance) and lows (unmotivated, lazy, insecu...

In this special Halloween episode, the duo breakdown a new classic horror film from the one and only Jordan Peele in GET OUT.  That's it... that's all the explanation you get as we're busy watching the Packers get smoked by the Bills on Sunday Night Football.   We Hear You to See You https://linktr.ee/devonherrera

We've hit the double digits, y'all.  Recapping the week with an abundance of communal events, Devon and Ian discuss a premiere they attended, the pilates class that made literally every body part sore, their industry gigs, and... you know what, let's start a new sentence because there was a lot to recap.  Vegan cheese and vegan ranch from a fast food place?!  Shout out Ardi's Organics, who we'll a...

We're almost in the double digits, people!  And, we're staying organized by doing a podcast on  organization .  What a fun, sexy topic to pique everyone's interest, right?! As always (cool that we can say that now), you'll hear the weekly recap - Ian's the lead of a short film, Devon opened an Etsy store to help people stay organized (posting the link here, obviously), and enjo...

The duo will get lighter next week... unless they have another trigger to work through for the audience, but in episode 8, belly flop in and explore the strategies Devon employs when Ian disagrees with an opinion.   This or That segment -  Talking babies or talking pets? Misquoted movies or mistaken lyrics? Bad breath or body odor? Questions from the audience get real juicy as the meaning of life...

The podcast team gave themselves a bye week to ensure proper rest and revitalization in order to come back with a BOOM for episode 7.   Per usual, you'll get the life recap, which includes a shoutout to the team's #1 fan, Ivory.   Devon's taken two classes about the Business of Hollywood since we last chatted, new friends have been made, pending an Instagram follow, the Packers are now 2-1, and An...

We're late to post!   But sometimes, it's important to prioritize fun (Top Golf) over editing a podcast - self care - balance - love.  Our ten loyal fans will forgive - maybe.  On this week's pod, we recap the Emmy's - congrats to Quinta Brunson for writing Abbott Elementary - (we're fans of the Will Arnett / Jimmy Kimmel bit) We review the top five recommendations for self-care according to Women...

NFL season is back, baby!  Which, is sadly, not discussed in the pod, however, if you pay attention closely, you'll hear  a  theme  (ahem, listen to all of Ian's brilliantly creative song).  Recapping their week which includes a networking event or two, a California state-wide emergency about overheating the grid, and an Uno championship, the duo jump right into... well, they tangent a bit, but af...

Opening with another ITS banger and closing with the best episode yet.  A big shift this time - Devon and Ian jump all over the map, discussing Disney stars making those Disney ears with their wand, lawn mowers in the street, whether we download soundtracks after watching a film, a Mount Rushmore of top-ranked songs from multiple sources, and an all-time misspeak - nimber - find it, just like we&#...

On today's episode that's being posted late because - insert excuse - we talk about... talking.  What makes a person enjoyable to talk to?  Are they one-word responders?  Do they hog the mic?  How do you get out of a conversation, or even friendship that doesn't feel satisfying?  Really, we're accepting responses on this because as you'll hear, we didn't quite get a roadmap.   We'd also like to kn...
