I often hear success talked about as if it has some universally agreed upon definition. And often the implication has something to do with career and/or money. But it can mean anything you want. Anything.

In this episode I explore my own thoughts on success, I share ways I cultivate the feeling of success or arrive at it, and tons of questions for you to explore and arrive at your own definition. I hope this episode sparks more conversation and allows us all to lean into how incredible and magical we all are right now in this moment.

Yes, I myself have said "Rest is Productive." And it can be. For sure. But also - when was the last time you rested or cared for yourself for the SAKE of resting + caring for yourself, and not as a means to get back to work? Today I share lessons from my latest burnout so we all learn from it.

Listen in to hear:

• Why rest CAN be productive - but why that's not helpful as your underlying motivation
• Another way of thinking about resting and self care
• Leaning into indulging in rest and self care for the sake of them
• A lesson if you're someone who only takes forced pauses, not intentional, indulgent pauses
• Some great questions sprinkled in to support you resting and caring for yourself
• Thinking about caring for yourself as you would your inner or younger child self
• Many many reminders to just take that nap if ya wanna!

Every lessons has layers and this is my latest layer in my burnout lesson. I'm honored to share it with you and hope it gives you some jumping off points for your own lessons, your own rest, your own self care. 💚

Not all of productivity is active creation. AND some is co-creation. Our society prioritizes doing doing doing but I reject it + show you in this episode a different way to think about and relate to productivity.

Listen in to hear:

• What productivity is and isn't
• An example of non-toxic productivity in farming + gardening (truly transformational idea)
• How to get yourself to do things when your default is to do nothing - and why you're not  lazy or wrong or bad
• Why resting is resting and not productive (yes I've gone back on my own words - evolution of thought is wonderful)
• Why leaning into your capacity is so much more important than just producing producing producing
• How so much of art happens in the liminal space, lean in
• You will not hear in this episode "How to be more productive" but you will hear why not
• How to explore your capacity

Prioritize your day to day, your lived experience over what + how much you produce. Productivity is neutral - but our societal view of it is mostly toxic. This episode is a different take on how we can relate to productivity taking our own capacity into account. It's a love letter from my heart. 💚

• I mentioned an episode where I talked about toxic productivity - but it doesn't actually exist - SORRY - email or DM me if you want me to create one and dive further into this topic tho!

Confidence is about the quality of your self trust, not the quality of your work. It's not about "Am I good enough?" "Is my art good?" It's - "I trust in my capacity to learn, and grow, and evolve, and create." Period.

Listen in to hear:

• Why yes you CAN do what you want - even if it hasn't happened yet (And how to think about it so that you CAN)
• Why confidence has nothing to do with how good your art is, how good your work is, whether or not you've done something before
• How to overcome Imposter Syndrome and be confident anytime about anything
• How I think about confidence and why I'm always confident in my guitar skills even when I don't think I'm good (What?? Yes.)
• Why you already have confidence, you're just choosing it to be in your LACK of results and how to switch that

This episode will completely shift how you think about confidence and your ability to feel confident. Listen in and enjoy!

Belonging is a choice. It's not given to you by anyone else. It is yours to decide. But of course, it's not always that easy right! So I'm here to give you some thoughts to try on so that you can decide to belong now.

• How boundaries and belonging are different things
• Why it is so valuable to choose to belong everywhere as your default
• Why it may be valuable to also decide everyone belongs everywhere
