087. Carving Out SPACE for Creative Ceremony 39:57

3M ago39:57

39:57

This podcast episode is about integration. How do we go forward with all the colonial code, bumping up against the remembrance of our ancestral code? How do we integrate the concrete and the care? The cop in our head and the kid in our heart? How do we invite our fear and our spirit to the table? How might we act as the compassionate mediator? How …

086. Retreating Inside Agency Inspiring Desire Instead of Paralyzing Fear 44:24

4M ago44:24

44:24

My intention inside this episode is to invite us to re-calibrate inside our desire. As we search for safety, predictability and control, we can find ourselves impulsively grabbing for the tools of white supremacy culture in an attempt to catch our breath and find our footing once more. We extend deep compassion to ourselves for this reflex, with fa…

084. Create It, Not In The Future, But Now 29:08

4M ago29:08

29:08

My intention inside this episode is to remind you of that big, juicy, audacious creative vision that is all your own. That desire commensurate with the expanse of your power. That idea, project or offer that only feels intimidating because it is a threat to colonial order and the colonized part of us might be sacred of it. As it should be, but let’…

083. Use Erotic Engineering To Create A Life Rooted In Your Desire 33:48

5M ago33:48

33:48

Erotic Engineering is a wild field of study and practice that uses the erotic as power to design a life rooted in desire. Inside this practice the desire we center is both personal and collective.

081. On Bargaining Over The Price of Actualizing Your Desire 43:00

6M ago43:00

43:00

Creative actualization demands sacrifice. There’s a saying that goes something like this, “you can have whatever you want, and if you don’t have it you either don’t want it or you’re bargaining over the price”. Now justified political critiques aside, I reference this quote to ask: In what ways are we bargaining over the price of actualizing our de…

080. No One Wants Your Perfectionism But White Supremacy 47:47

6M ago47:47

47:47

At first this episode was titled “There Is No Rigor In Perfection, There Is Rigor In Your Play”. In a recent episode of one of my favorite podcasts Hidden Brain, psychologist Paul Bloom describes why play is an essential choreography of aliveness for most human and non-human species. He says it’s essential because it’s a container for “safe practic…

079. A Love Song For Conjure Women Cosplaying As Corporate Baddies 52:56

7M ago52:56

52:56

You know that meme that’s going around saying “propaganda i'm not falling for”? Well the propaganda we’re not falling for is the discourse that says we need to quit our day jobs in order to be “real artists”, “real diviners”, “real entrepreneurs”. Or whatever, because truth is…we can be working full-time inside our passion and still be in misalignm…

078. Working Harder is Unnecessary, Certainty Is An Illusion, Hold On To This Instead 45:29

8M ago45:29

45:29

My intention behind recording this podcast episode is to ask: are we in a season of seeding or reaping? Are we clinging to the energy of survival mode when spirit is inviting us to breathe and take in the garden we’ve built — enjoying the fruits of our labor and perhaps using them to create the next dish, recipe or project with ease. Perhaps we cli…

077. Dropping the Master's Tools, Dreaming Beyond Institutional Support 43:20

8M ago43:20

43:20

My intention behind recording this episode is to humbly invite us to consider what got us to our current reality might not get us to our wildest dreams. Maybe it was ambition, external validation or the perceived safety of playing small inside our own dreams that got us here but these postures of practice are too hollow to strike this moment and in…

076. On Knowing When To Get on Your Zoom or Get in the Bed 52:43

9M ago52:43

52:43

I am recording this episode for the push through artists who have worked so hard, for so long that they don’t even know what their max capacity is — every year presents new challenges, requiring new limits, seemingly stretching into infinity. I am recording this episode for those who delight in the rigor of a challenge and experience an erotic char…

074. Your Favorite Black Feminist Is An Entrepreneur 45:24

9M ago45:24

45:24

Our favorite black feminist was most likely an entrepreneur because for many of our ancestors black feminist entrepreneurship was simply a synonym for “the practice of surviving with our dignity in tact”. Many of us have heard the stories if we listened closely, the auntie, uncles and cousins who spun up hair salons, barbershops, daycares, restaura…

073. 3 Ways to Engage with the Rigor of Ease in Creative Practice 43:24

9M ago43:24

43:24

Rigor doesn’t equal hard work and ease doesn’t equal work that is easy. Asking for help, refusing to resent our capacity, honoring the needs of our body and moving at the speed of creative flow is rigorous work that might require practice if our learned impulse is to habitually bring ourselves to the edge of our capacity in order to feel worthy of …

072. The Fear of Being Witnessed Stemming From A Fear of Witnessing Ourselves 38:40

10M ago38:40

38:40

My intention inside this episode is to reflect, alongside you, on my own journey toward softening inside the sacred practice of bearing witness — both to myself and to each other’s becoming. Witnessing myself was painful at first. I was confronted with all the ways I had invented masks sacrificing my comfort while prioritizing the comfort of others…

10M ago35:24

35:24

My intention inside this episode is to ground us inside the reality that we are constantly changing. Our motivations are changing. Our values might be experiencing a re-boot.

069. Scale Your Impact Without Scaling Your Capacity Through the Power of a Framework 30:58

12M ago30:58

30:58

You dream of serving folks through your process not your personhood. You are an artist, not an influencer. But your process can sometimes feel illegible, even to you. We’re clear there are life affirming benefits to illegibility, opacity, poesis and abstraction. We’re also clear if we want to serve communities we care about through a creative offer…

068. I Sat Down To Script A Podcast And A Poem For The Fire Leaked Out 33:42

12M ago33:42

33:42

My intention behind this episode is not only to advocate for the practice of weekly dispatches but to encourage you and empower you with resources to advocate for your song — aka the work that is uniquely yours.

12M ago51:09

51:09

In this episode I’m inviting you into this question with me: “Is It Burnout Or The Energetic Expense Of A Spiritual Breakthrough?” Now let’s be clear, sometimes it really is burn-out. Sometimes, no…a lot of the times, capitalism, the patriarchal refusal to compensate care work and the lack of a state sanctioned social safety net can really bring us…

066. Moving From Convincing Institutions to Convincing The People 38:41

1y ago38:41

38:41

In this episode I want to make the case for breaking away from institutions and creating communal containers of healing instead.

065. Who Is Perfectionism For? Channeling Audacious Visions Into 3 Phases of Creative Business Development 56:04

1y ago56:04

56:04

So who is perfectionism for? What stops us from hitting publish or inviting folks into an offer? Are we waiting for the somatic safety, self-trust, or sense of belonging we’ll magically feel on the other side of a new title, degree, or wave of applause? So often we stall, hesitate on pressing publish, resist releasing an offer we’ve already thought…

064. Becoming Your First Client: The Grief Work of Composting Past Selves and Desires 36:21

1y ago36:21

36:21

I chose the path of tech and software engineering out of creative curiosity, yes. But on some level, if I’m being real, I also chose it because it would, perhaps, make my parent’s sacrifice mean something. It was impressive, it was something they could brag about on Facebook. And, at the time, my inner child connected being impressive with worthine…

063. Calling Our Power Back to Us: All Stories Rooted in Independence Are Lies 31:27

1y ago31:27

31:27

There is no such thing as an independent artist. We judge ourselves for having needs constantly. The reality of interdependence may look different for us in different seasons of our lives. In one season we might need the help of our families to provide shelter (like I did). In another season we might need the companionship of a partner or a pet. In…

1y ago39:19

39:19

We talk more about this in Thursday’s Worldbuilding Workshop, but you may have seen the quote going around “if it’s not free, it’s neither radical or revolutionary”.
