    The truth is, methods and strategy can only take you so far. We can have the best strategy, but if our heart and mind is not 100% in the work, you can never reach a place of fulfillment. Clarity in vision —> longevity in practice more effective as time passes It’s the ecosystem that surrounds us that pumps energy into our creative hearts - what do you value in your life & how do you achiever balance I want to leave you with the conviction and inspiration to be yourself. And let me be clear, not the social media you, the person you think you should be, or the person you know will get you the approval of your parents or friends. The vulnerable, icky, messy, beautiful, complicated you that has always been there. Maybe you started listening to this show because it’s peaceful, but I hope you continue to listen because it challenges you to seek authenticity and humble conviction to be you.

In this episode, I reluctantly share and address my personal fears and path to wellness and how it helped unlock new ways of looking at my creative practice.
