Alicia and Steven explore the art of decisive spontaneity, the importance of listening to your inner voice, and how uncovering your true voice is a lifelong journey shaped by childhood, trauma, and danger, but also by play, noise, and authenticity. From Steve’s provocative novels, wild puppetry experiments & decades of teaching creative writing at Penn State to Alicia’s journey from theater to hypnotherapy, you’ll discover how resilience and a refusal to shy away from the uncomfortable can deepen your creative expression.You'll learn: how to cultivate your unique voice through a fearless exploration of your past and influences; why embracing silence, boredom, and chaos sparks true innovation; and how trusting the process—no matter how uncertain—can create transformative moments.
