What Your Shame Talk Is REALLY Trying To Teach You Sep 12, 2020

Show notes

I have been doing a meditation that helps me get in touch with my shame...So I have been thinking about a lot of my recurring shame talk. I brought it up in my therapy session and my therapist and she asked me: "underneath the flawed method it uses, is there something that inner critic voice is trying to teach you...Is there some wisdom underneath?" This is what I ponder in this episode, as well as sharing how you can get in touch with your shame talk's true message and how you can redirect it toward something helpful.

Don't Confuse Being Nice for Being Good Sep 04, 2020

Show notes

Today's Podcast is inspired by a line I heard in the brilliant Amazon Prime series, The Boys. It goes as follows, “F*ck this world for confusing nice with good.” In this solo episode, I examine the detriments of choosing niceness over goodness for creativity, relationships and humanity, in general. Join me in the quest to choose goodness over niceness, and also in making sure to NOT excuse bad behavior because that person is "nice". Nice doesn't mean a whole lot if there isn't action to back it up! Love you. Also, watch The Boys Here: https://www.amazon.com/The-Boys-Season-1/dp/B07QNJCXZK

She Left Finance for Beekeeping, Then Made Forbes 30 Under 30...Choose Happiness w/ Carly Stein Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

Today’s guest is Carly Stein. She is a scientist, beekeeper and an entrepreneur, best known for being the founder and CEO of BeeKeepers Naturals and for being named Forbes 30 Under 30.

I wanted to have Carly on the show for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because she has a great story of turning pain into purpose and leaving security for happiness. She started her company from a very personal pain point of her own health struggles and was actually an accidental entrepreneur. At the time things started taking off she was working as a trader at Goldman Sachs. She had pretty much everyone tell her she was crazy to do it, but still took the leap and started Beekeepers Naturals. It’s inspiring to anyone who has ever felt handcuffed to their day job or to a title.

From our conversation you’ll learn:

How to change your personal narrative
Strengthen your immune system with bee products
Start and build a business
Let go of other’s opinions and choose yourself
Why if you take care of your spiritual life
The rest sometimes falls into place the advantage of not being an expert
And the difference between power and control
She also has some great tips for Type A creatives
And Much More!

Life-Saving Creativity, Comedy + A Tale of Two Italian Girls w/ Brittany Brave Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

Brittany Brave is a New York City-based comedian who has been featured on TBS, MTV, The New York Times, ELLE and was named a Best New Talent by the New York Comedy Festival in 2019. She is also the founder of We are Cat Call, a platform for women’s leadership, progress and camaraderie that does female-focused events for all.

I wanted to have Brittany on the show because we are really kindred spirits and have a similar path -both Italian Catholic, both only children both huge champions of fellow women and creatives. Brittany started her professional career in PR and did comedy on the side, but her true passion was always calling her. However, it wasn’t until she found herself in a situation of domestic violence that she truly started owning her creativity as a way of admitting what was going on and taking charge of her life again. From Brittany, you will truly learn creativity’s ability to not only help, but even save your life.

From our conversation you’ll also learn:

How to "come out" as a creative at your day job
Some of the weird quirks of Italian culture
The unique and horrifying pressures of being an only child
How to make money as a comedian during the pandemic
Tips to pivot your career
Hear our open dialogue about mental health
Advice on dating during the pandemic.

Also, I want to give a quick trigger warning...This is a very well-rounded conversation that ranges from serious and deeply emotional, to inspiring to rolling on the floor laughing, with that said, it’s important to mention that we do go into Brittany’s experience as a survivor of domestic violence and how comedy helped her through it. So I just think it’s important that you know that.

It’s a real story of bravery and choosing yourself that I think we can all learn from.

Put Your Time Where Your Heart Is + Get Unblocked Aug 15, 2020

Show notes

On today's creative check in, I discuss the concept of putting our time where our heart is. A lot of the time, we say we want our deepest creative dreams, but are simply not putting in enough work during the week to get the outcome we desire. On today's episode, I talk about a revelation I've had about this in regard to my music, and also, how to trace the lines of where your creative blocks are coming from...Sometimes it's more logical than you think and a simple switch up will help you go toward your creativity instead of avoiding it. Love you!
