Episode 20: Follow Your Jealousy, Find Your Purpose
This weekend I had the opportunity to go to a local artist fair -- and was slammed by a wall of jealousy. It would've been easy to get grumpy and bitter about it (and I often do), but this time my jealousy felt like more of a [very uncomfortable] map pointing me forward.
Jealousy is not fun -- but it is incredibly useful. Follow your jealousy, and it can point you at your next steps, or even your purpose.
I also chat about my new art studio, and why it took me so long to get it set up in my new home. [Spoiler alert: #perfectionism, my familiar nemesis.]

Episode 17: How to Stay Sane When Changing the World
The world feels like a scary, confusing place these days (or is that just me?). It seems like we're about to repeat the same huge mistakes our governments have made before, and everything feels up in the air.
We want to help. We want to make positive changes. We want a safe, just, and beautiful life for all people. We're willing to work hard to achieve these goals.
But how do we do that without burning ourselves out? How do we look into darkness and stay hopeful?
This episode is about just that. Listen in for my three simple (but not necessarily easy) tips to stay sane while superhero-ing.

Episode 16: How Does Your Body Want to Move in the World?
I recently visited a labyrinth. I go to this labyrinth and wander the grounds, gardens, and the labyrinth's paths itself when I need to submerge mySelf in silence and Mama Nature and my own depths. When I need to reconnect to the earth and mySelf. When I feel ungrounded.
It is always a nourishing experience, and well worth the 45 minute drive to get there and the 45 minutes home. I never seem to come away quite the same, which I am glad of.
This last time I visited, I had an experience quite unlike any other. I allowed my body to move as it wished, in a way that felt quite out of balance, and came away very surprised at the result.
Listen in, and then tell me, once you've played with this concept with yourSelf for a bit -- how does your body want to move in the world?

Episode 15: How NOT to Run a Women's Circle
Over the last few years, I've dabbled in leading a women's circle. Want to know how not to do it? Learn from my mistakes, which I share in detail in this episode.
Content warning: there is a brief discussion of suicide in this episode.
Also note, this episode was recorded in my car, so the quality is less than desirable. Thanks for putting up with me. :)

Episode 14: The Magic & Mundanity of Dreams Realized
I recorded this episode on location in Glastonbury, England -- on the side of Glastonbury Tor, in fact -- a place where myth and history collide. My trip to England was something of a sudden decision, and following my dream of visiting the U.K. left me soaring -- and also grappling with discomfort. I discuss my travels and the growth I believe I am taking away from this adventure, and hope that not only will this episode inspire you to follow your own dreams but also equip you to deal with any unexpected difficulties you come up against in your inner landscape along the way.

Episode 12: Making Art a Part of Everyday Life is Non-Negotiable
We make art (whatever that kind of art is: oil painting, cooking, needlepoint, writing, music, etc.) because our souls demand it. Because the work is inside of us and begs to be made, to be released into being. Because we need it.
But we live in a world that places little value on the practice or product of creative work. So why bother with our art when it doesn't support us financially, and is seen as frivolous, unproductive, or unnecessary by the culture surrounding us?
Because we need it. Because the art needs it. Because the world needs it, even if it denies that it does. Listen for encouragement to keep on keeping on in your art, and to remember some of the benefits of practicing your art regularly.
Book mentioned in this episode: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

Episode 11: The Mental Health Episode
You knew it was coming -- this is the episode that answers your wondering, "Where the heck did you disappear to??" Basically, 2016 has been a hell of a year, due in large part to a flaring of my anxiety. So this episode is not only about where I've been, but an off-the-cuff discussion of anxiety and mental health.
