  • Zoha Abbas joined me on the show for episode 92. We talked about how to bring your creative dreams into action. It's totally one of my favorite topics - that really juicy space between creating and doing. Zoha and I hit it off, big time, and this is one heckofa joyful episode. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ One of my fave quotes is around the fact that "a list does not mean constraints" - in my own creative life, I've chosen to see the "limitations" as a canvas for creativity; a list as a joyful reminder of all the things I get to do. How can you re-frame that thing that feels constricting to being something that enables you to do other things you love? As a tool to whatever brings you joy?⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Join us on the podcast - bit.ly/joyitunes - the link is in the profile, too. @multidoer⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ #jumpstartyourjoy #podcastersofinstagram #multidoer #multipassionate #puttylike #multipod #creativegrammer #creativemind #iloveagoodlist #listmakersunite #projectmanager #agencylife #podcast
  • Pretty California poppies in the backyard. Last year I danced and threw the seeds in the air, dreaming of a yard filled with golden flowers. This year, there are more, growing, spreading out. While the drought is over, and we could go back to a green grass, I love the brilliance of the poppies and ease of taking care of them.⠀ ⠀ #flower #orange #californiapoppy #eschscholziacalifornica #garden #gardenlife #droughttolerantplants
  • In Season 1 of the podcast, I had the total delight of chatting with @matthewood - voice of (the real) General Grievous in Star Wars, and a senior sound editor at Skywalker Sound. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Matt shared about how he got the role of Grievous, and shares his thoughts about sound on the show.

  • "I don't believe in balance. It's a process. It's freedom, spaciousness, connection and glitter. That feels harmonious."⠀ Deb is on the podcast this week, and she sets me straight on why she goes for harmony, not balance, in her life. She has so much great wisdom to share about life, and starting a journaling practice. ⠀ ⠀ Join in for the whole conversation at bit.ly/joyep69⠀ ⠀ Thank you @thedebcooperman for joining me on the show this week! ⠀ ⠀ #jumpstartyourjoy #choosejoy #joyisachoice #journaling #journalingcommunity #journalingpractice #selfcare #loveyourself #feelingstuck #feelingmeh #gratitudejournal
