Being Unique When Everything Has Been Done Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

Do you ever get discouraged realizing that literally everything has been done already? We are told all the time to be “unique” and differentiate ourselves but how do you practically do that when there is “nothing new under the sun”?

I want to give you a peek behind the curtain today with my journey finding my “voice” and tell you about how after MONTHS of looking for the answer- I found it in an unlikely place- the subtitles of an Amazon movie.

Improve Your Creativity with This Jan 06, 2023

Show notes

Do you struggle with the balance of wanting to be proud of your work before you put it out into the world but also wanting to be consistent? We live in an interesting time where as creatives we are pressured to constantly produce but then it can feel like our work gets watered down.

There has to be a balance right?

Today I share a thought about producing work NOT for response, but to improve our baseline. When we produce work simply for attention, it is difficult to get better. If we focus on being consistent so that we CAN be better, that’s where the magic happens.

Visual Creative Business (Hannah Wilson) Jan 04, 2023

Show notes

It sounds super sexy to talk about running your own business, following your dreams, and doing art for a living but here is the dillio y'all-- there are sacrifices that need to be made. Maybe you need to live with a relative for a while, maybe you need to not go out so much with friends and work on your craft, or maybe you need to make less for a bit until you can get your business off the ground.

If you are looking for a no-BS conversation about building a creative business from the ground up you are going to love this conversation I had with Hannah Wilson. Hannah is an artist and designer based in the UK, and has built a following of 100k on Instagram and 10k on Twitter, in 10 months purely by sharing visuals. And for good reason.

Her work is simple, and direct, and speaks to the heart of what a lot of us as professional creatives struggle with. I had her on to talk about how she is building her creative career, the realities of following your passion, and trusting your instincts when you go the unbeaten path.

Michael Kutcher (on Overcoming in Obstacles) Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

Today we are hearing the story of Michael Kutcher. I wanted to start the year off with this conversation because what Michael shares here gets to the heart of what many of us struggle with.

Michael says that the first obstacle that he had to face was being born. After many complications at birth, being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy before hitting kindergarten, and being told he had only a few weeks to live at the age of 13, this man has been through a few things. BUT…

He says there is even a purpose in all of this. Now as an advocate, author, and public speaker, Michael has shared his story on Capital Hill, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the National Institute of Health. In this conversation, we dig into how to shift your perspective and shift any obstacle into an opportunity.
