About this listen

In this special birthday episode, I’m sharing a personal, creative reflection on what truly matters.

If you need some quick inspiration, a creative mindset shift, or if you’ve ever felt like you’ve checked all the boxes but still feel a little off… this episode is for you. I’m diving into 3 creative lessons I’ve learned this past year, as well as a few heartfelt reminders on what real success looks like.

In This Episode, I Discuss:
  • Why your creative rhythm is important
  • How to let your creative projects evolve without guilt
  • Why your nervous system is part of your process, not a barrier to it
  • The powerful shift from performance to presence in your creative life
  • What Maya Angelou taught me about real success
  • How I'm defining success this year — and why it has nothing to do with checklists

Full Episode 8 Show Notes!

Quote of the Week (x2)!“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” – Maya Angelou (not from a book, but here's a favorite anyway: Phenomenal Woman)“Instructions for living a life: Pay attention.
