Usually when there's talk about abundance mindset, it's mostly in terms of money. I’m all for that but you also need an abundance mentality to create what you’re meant to create!

Each artistic medium has its own language. Words are only one language. You have a language, a dialogue with your creativity. You have a language, a back and forth exchange within your creative niche—maybe it’s the way you use color, light, line, form, gesture, sound.

Lately on my daily walks I've been feeling more like running. To the point where it actually feels worse to walk than to run. I just know my body wants to run! When I truly listen to it, I know it wants to move that way...which sounds kinda crazy like why would you run when you can walk? But what if we are MEANT to run, creatively?

You can only receive what you have the capacity to hold. The hard truth is if someone offers you something incredible and you don't have room to receive it...you don't get to have it!

What if what you're missing is not skill, or the right marketing technique, or the ability to attract your ideal client, or the right most fab inspiration or idea, but instead a willingness t...

One of the most popular episodes of this show is how to get out of self doubt by embracing it. So this week we're diving deeper and talking more about self doubt because it comes up for all of us, but it’s not a super useful emotion when you're trying to make things and I think lots of us would like to experience it less!

This wildly creative life I’m talking about isn’t about how MUCH stuff you can make. It’s not about holing yourself up in a room with your craft for as many hours a day as possible, or seeing how many accolades, dollars, followers, or pieces of work you can rack up. It's about expanding far beyond your formal creative practice + approaching EVERYTHING in your life with creativity: intention, ingenuity, and playfulness.

In this episode I wanna celebrate the mediocre work. The time when you felt like you had nothing to say, you were bored with yourself and your old stale ideas, you were critical of your skill, and you made something anyway. And maybe that something wasn't that great. It was okay. Because the magic is in the process!

We're swimming in more images than ever before these days. So does professional family photography even matter? I mean, why not set up a tripod? Now, anyone who’s tried to do that knows its not as easy as it sounds ;) --but just for argument's sake let's say it's possible. You certainly can get great photos of your kids without a pro photographer. So do we need family photo sessions + family photographers anymore, REALLY? *spoiler, of course imma say Yes.

Everyone has to deal with clothes every day. Lately, when I show up for Zoom, people are surprised that I’m dressed + ready.

I’ve been hiding again. I’m practicing not doing that. I find I want to show up only if I’m not tired, irritable, depressed or indecisive. I only want to come to a space with wisdom, presence, power, poise, inspiration to offer. And those are all good things and all things I am and can be. Maybe even a lot of the time. But sometimes they crowd out the human part of me. We know pretending is exhausting, but hiding is pretending in disguise. Here’s an ep to coming out from behind the curtain and s...
