Join me this week as I share with you the five steps I use to take projects from a glimmer of an idea into a completed, finished thing that lives in the world.

How to Make Things in Five Steps: Set the vision  Question wha...

Join me this week as I show you why you have to start on the idea that you have right now, and you can't be precious about it being the one or working out. Why do I say this?

Join me this week as I share why chasing perfection for perfection's sake is hollow, and what we’re actually seeking through perfectionism (it’s not what you think).  You’ll learn: What creative work lacks when perfectionism is centered and prioritized What it means to have our energy imbued in our creative work Why you need to create with the intention (as part of the ‘raw materials’) that y...

Join me this week as I share the *very big* difference between trying to ‘be the best’, rather than being more YOU. We are conditioned to ‘be the best’ - 1. WHY? 2. Who cares?? When you compete to be the best, you cut off other facets of yourself that make you uniquely you. No one - NO ONE on this planet is like you. You are one in eight billion.  Excerpt: “Why are we reducing ourselves to labels...

Join me this week as I do something a little different today and share an excerpt from my daily-ish writing practice with you.  We're going to go on a journey from feeling overwhelmed, to a three-step process I do when I'm feeling the feels, and then into an homage to creativity and creative acts.  Excerpt: “It makes me wonder about the cost of suppressing the creativity that wants to mo...

Join me this week as I share with you the first two concepts that I teach everyone who works with me: 1. You are not your thoughts (you are the awareness of your thoughts) and  2. You have an inner narrative running at all times - and how important it is to intentionally craft the narrative you tell yourself.  If you learn just these two things from me, it can change your life.  Excerpt from today...

If you've ever thought to yourself, 'if I just worked part-time or if I didn't have to work at a full-time job and I could work for myself, then I would have time to create what I want.' This week I share with you why that's not true, and why having having time constraints can actually be supportive.  Excerpt from this week's episode:  "You don't need to bla...

Join me this week as I share how subtle differences in our inner narrative have a major impact on what we create (and what we think is possible). Excerpt from today’s episode: “Like that is such a privilege when you really think about it. If you are privileged enough to be able to spend some of your time creating a random idea that you have in your head. It is your duty to actually spend time doin...

Join me this week as I share some of my own inner wisdom dialogue, and then expand on it with a metaphor that I think captures creative work beautifully. Plus I tell you how I consulted my inner wisdom for guidance. Excerpt from episode: “We are so often in a rush to get to the minute the project is complete. To feel all the feelings when we get there. We want to rush through the tiny tasks, throu...

Join me this week as I share the concepts of Bottom Up Making and Top Down Making. One opens up your creativity, and your intuition, while making. The other is rooted in perfectionism, efficiency, and productivity.  Excerpt from the episode: “We don't know,  but the important thing is that you're sitting down and letting your brilliant ideas come to the surface. Allowing space for who kn...

Join me this week as I share about what led me to reflect on the past ten years of my creative work. My top takeaway is that even if you want to improve and you want to keep working at what you're doing and want to improve your technique or learn new skills, do it from a place of believing in your skill, talent, and inherent worth. Believe in the goodness that you already have and build on th...

Join me this week as I chat about why I think we choose to do creative projects, why working on projects that stretch you is so very valuable, and a project that challenged me big time (and how I worked with it - and ended up creating something I didn’t believe I was ‘capable’ of doing).

Join me this week as I share a personal episode reflecting on 18 years of making decisions based on following my intuition. I look back and see all the things I made happen for myself (it was never luck).
