In this first episode of The Art of Doing Life, I share my vision for the podcast and what you can expect from our time together. Consider this your official invitation to hang out with me while I imperfectly explore the intersection of creativity, art, mental health, and chronic illness.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

  1. Why I created this podcast and what I thought I was going to be doing instead
  2. Permission to be a learner. It’s okay. Really.
  3. The one message I most want to convey to the world
  4. An important life lesson I will never stop learning [book excerpt]
  5. Overview of the topics I hope to cover in this podcast
  6. The rules I’m breaking and the advice I refuse to follow (note: list of rules/advice I'm ignoring is not exhaustive)
