Do you believe that just because you show and are willing to do all the things to reach your result that the result should be guaranteed? Well, I definitely did, and I realize now that I was suffering from a pretty severe case of what I am calling “outcome entitlement.” In this episode, I will explain what this is, why some of us, especially perfectionists, indulge in it, and what you can do about...

We all want to be inclusive as possible, but when It comes to our businesses as creative entrepreneurs, we need to decide what will be excluded. We do this so that we can protect our most important asset, ourselves. When we have limited time and energy, it’s important to get clear on who we serve and how we serve them. This week I am sharing the process I am going through to do just that. I will w...

As creatives, we often shy away from the business end of things because we have been conditioned to believe that we have to sell in ways that frankly aren’t all that authentic for us. That model has been distinctly male and white and hinged on the premise that if we just pushed ourselves out there onto people enough, we can be successful. Well, that is not the vibe I want, and it’s definitely not...

A lot of us are hustling especially as creatives. But what are we actually hustling for? What is it we are really after? I think that many of us are trying to earn something other than money. This week I am unpacking an interesting thought that flew out of my brain that I need to earn happiness.  I examine how this thought probably stems from growing up queer and the impact that has had on my abil...

One thing we will all need to do as creatives is to sell our work. Whether it is physical art, a course, book, or coaching services. And this can be a big roadblock for many of us. I want to offer that this is because we are often sold to from a place that does not feel good. Marketing often focuses on the places we think we are flawed to sell us things to fix those flaws.  But we do not have to u...

What does it look like for us to show up for ourselves in the moment we are in? This is a question that I want us all to be thinking about right now because it can be tempting to jump into action, but first, we need to address the tough emotions that are coming up. We need to take time to grieve. We need to take time to build up the resilience that is going to sustain us for the fight. In this epi...

As humans we resist uncertainty, but it is one of the only things in life we can be certain of. That we cannot with any real accuracy what any outcome will be. We will not know until it happens. And yet we spend so much time making up stories to soothe the anxiety we feel from not knowing. This episode is a re-release from my former podcast, The Dance Coach Podcast, that centers on the collective...

This week's episode was inspired by a quote from Alexander Leon that speaks to how queer people come to understand and form our identities. In a tweet from 2020, Leon wrote, " Queer people don't grow up as ourselves, we grow up playing a version of ourselves that sacrifices authenticity to minimize humiliation & prejudice. The massive task of our adult lives is to unpick which p...

In this episode, I am discussing the impact that positive queer representation can have through the lens of my emotional reaction to the Netflix show Heartstopper, which is adapted from the graphic novels of Alice Oseman.  Queer representation in the mainstream media has grown so much since I was the age of the charters in this tale.
