Math: A Necessary Evil
Alright so I am here to confront your bullshit excuses for why you're not "good" at math. I won't blame you if you've been successfully avoiding numbers and finances, since it's not at the top of your list as a right brained human. But, Math is a necessary evil, guys and gals. If you don't want…

Your Money Mindset Sucks.
The topic of Book Club* this week was MONEY. This word is so potent and controversial and gives some of us the hives to take a closer look at. But, it is a necessary and important and crucial part of becoming the boss of your destiny. So, we are digging deep this week in the podcast to discover...

What do Vegans, Mormons and Straight Edgers Have in Common?
In this episode, I talk about the cults we subscribe to and the dogmas they preach. In building my own brand, I've had to focus on what my message is, who my ideal audience is and what rituals we practice to rally together. It's an interesting parallel between several subcultures I was introduced...

Optimistically Ballsy
The theme for February was “Optimistically Ballsy.” I chose this term with my coach as a way to channel my risky, ADHD, don’t give a fuck mentality that says “This will work out. It has to.” And then I jump into the ice barrel of life and hope my internal organs don’t implode. I took on a job…

Packing for a Trip Outside Your Comfort Zone
Here is the most important rule when taking a trip outside your comfort zone. I mean any leap of faith, whether it’s going on a first date with a stranger you met online, or if you start putting feelers out on LinkedIn for work. You don’t know what potential romantic partner or employer, job or...

Becoming the CEO of Your Own Life
If you want to take charge of your life, you are going to have to refine your resume. The job title you’re going to insert at the top of the document is CEO. You are the Chief Executive Officer of the company/business called “your life.” You’re not only responsible for hiring all the staff that...

Your Brain is like a 1980's Boombox
The image I came up with to describe your brain, this week, is an old school boombox. Take it back to the days of the sage green carpet in my bedroom in 6th grade, the Mariah Carey tape ended on side one, so I have to take it out and flip it over and put the cassette back into the player. There…

When Fantasy is Interrupted by Reality (on Top of More Reality)
Do you get caught up in thinking that it is everyone else who’s life is so easy and supported that that is why they look so successful? We are filtering reality through the lens of Facebook and Instagram and people only post the best of their lives, the successes and the days where they’re...

Lessons from Art School
I spent $90,000 on my graduate school education. With that amount of money I could've sailed around the world in a yacht, drinking champagne. Instead, I collected random wisdoms about what *not* to do as an artist. The lesson this week is that skill and technique are overrated. Storytelling is…

The Struggle is Real
Suffering, struggle and helplessness come from an idea that it won’t get better, no matter how hard we try. Artists are stopped every day by these attitudes. We think that the only solution is to work in a day job that will pay us enough to get by, and hopefully at the end of the day there will…

Setting Goals in 2021
The year is coming to a close and if you're like me, you are waving "Bye Felicia" to 2020. What a year! Let's turn our focus to how we aim to "be" in the new year and what we will "do" comes after that. Conquering goals requires a lot more than just writing down some resolutions; It requires...

The Comparison Model
In our first episode I'm diving into the deep end of our thoughts and how they effect our productivity and vitality as artists. Do you remember in Kindergarten how we were all really good at everything creative? We could dance, sing, act, draw, cook and we did all those things with ease! We…
