After 8 years and over 300 episodes, this final sendoff is part pep talk, part confetti cannon, part tender hug — and all heart. In this closing chapter of Wildly Creative Life, I shares the most potent idea I've been saving ‘til now: your life is the ultimate art project.
In a world obsessed with optimization, what happens when your quest to “be better” becomes a cage? In this episode, we’re breaking up with the exhausting chase of constant self-improvement—and reconnecting with the art of contentment. I’m diving into the pressure to upgrade every corner of our lives, and how it can quietly stifle our creativity, joy, and humanity.
We’ll talk about how your definition...
What if the thing you’re scared to do is the key to your creative breakthrough?
In this episode, we’re diving into reckless creativity—the kind that ignores rules, disregards consequences, and burns the blueprint. I’ll share the stories of four out-of-the...
The X factor. That “je ne sais quoi”. Something you can’t quite put your finger on, something that’s hard to describe, but that pulls you in. What exactly IS the X factor and how do we infuse our creations with it so we have more impact and efficacy as creators? Maybe you find yourself in a creative situation where you’re hitting all the technical marks. Things on paper look like they should be going better than ...
There are two opposite truths: hard is good, hard makes us stronger, push yourself to see what you can do, goals are for who you become in the process–and also: easy is good, the soft life, a firm rejection of ‘hustle culture’. So if these are both true, the wisdom comes in knowing when to apply each medicine. If you have food poisoning, allergy meds won’t do you any good. In this episode we’re gonna look at time...
You're cute and so is your past! What comes up for you when I mention your past self? Do you romanticize the past, have nostalgia for it, think of the good ol’ days? Or do you feel embarrassed or ashamed of your past self?
If youre like most of us, youve got both. You see versions of your past self that had it going on, and other versions from your past that make you cringe.

Today's episode comes straight from the trenches: I've recently been very low in motivation and want to encourage you from the trenches - because when I personally am in a rut, the last thing I want to hear is someone who’s like, "I was unmotivated once and here’s how I skyrocketed myself out of it and never felt that way again!"
Not this episode! Here's what you'll hear -
The biggest thing that holds creators + artists back: their own toxic expectations of themselves.

Let’s explore what happens when you don’t need to be better + ...

Here with another sneak peek inside the Vault which is my monthly mentoring for photographers, but even if you’re not a photographer this sermon I gave to my girl Rita is one I’ve been giving myself recently as well and I know there’s a breakthrough for you here.

This is a letter to the one who keeps stopping and starting. The one with conflicting desires like me, to build an empire and rule the world, and also to lean into the softness of the earth, the squishiness of my heart and m...
If you’re not “completely fulfilled” by motherhood, here’s the thing:
No one expects fathers to be completely fulfilled by fatherhood.
You’re still a person with creations and contributions to make. That’s a beautiful thing, and an asset to your mothering, not a liability.
Showing up as your whole self makes your mothering richer and deeper.
And your whole self is CREATIVE AS ALL GET OUT ⭐️⭐️⭐️
You’re already using creativity—inge...
