If there is one thing that helps us to keep pressing publish on our weekly podcast it's this: Done is better than perfect. (Believe me, that's also easier said than done!) I can't tell you how many different versions of our cover art we went through before deciding it's "good enough." Or how listening back made me realize I didn't get the sound levels right. Or how many times we've been interrupted by Papi, our dog, barking or chewing things he's not supposed to. But it's all okay. We just keep going. That's our secret. And more than that, we're learning to work with each other even though our approaches to creativity are a bit ... different. So in celebration of our milestone 10th episode, I wanted to talk about all of that! 🎧Listen Here to Ep. 10 on Perfectionism, Play and Podcasting as a Couple. You'll hear about:
And hey, Reader, everything we mention applies both to co-creating and working by yourself. So even if you're not in relationship or have a creative partner, we discuss so many things that you can start doing in your life right now to bring all your ideas to fruition. Whatever it is that you’ve been wanting to create — a new routine, a new job, or rekindle an old hobby — you’ll find the nudge you need here to begin… and to keep going. I'm rooting for you! In Joy,

My spirituality resonated more with feeling like there’s something out there – some being, some ultimate reality, some personified divinity that I could have a relationship with. Over time, I found other Buddhist teachings that did resonate. The practice of loving kindness, or metta, is one I lean into...
A client of mine referred to their new dog as a “dopamine dispenser,” and I couldn’t agree more. 😍 It’s like, “Move over phone, Instagram, all the apps and devices that vie for my attention. I’ve got something REAL here.” This reminded me of a visit to my cousin after she got a new kitten. We were on the floor playing with it when, inevitably, a phone came out to show a funny cat video. Apparently, at some point I broke from my haze and said, “Wait, why are we watching videos of cats when we...
There have been two reigning topics that have appeared in my treatment room the past few weeks. No matter the client, I felt like I kept having the same conversations. I'd usually get asked one and then both of these questions (though not always in the same order): How were your holidays? Can you believe what is happening in this country? (a.k.a. How are we supposed to be with all this??) I see what I do as my small part of holding space for all of this, holding space for you. While at the...
