Ultimately she shares how to process the chaos around us and make better art because of it! Takeaways: In the current climate of political turmoil and rapid technological advancements, we must cultivate our purpose and actively engage in creative endeavors.

Well, well, well. Sometimes things do NOT go as planned! I had recorded this episode middle of December of 2024 - but then my grandmother passed away and I had to take a couple emergency trips to DC, my assistant had a mental breakdown and suddenly left the country, the fires in LA hit as soon as I got back from DC and then 47 was inaugurated and it's been a bit chaotic in my mind and life lately! Anyway, I figured I'd get this episode to y'all anyway because even though it seems a little out of time right now with no recognition of anything that's happened since mid-December, it's still relevant! Stay tuned as we're getting our wheels greased and turning for weekly (or more) episodes now and going forward! In this episode, I reflect on 10 things I'm proud of from 2024, share 3 challenges from the year and 5 things Im excited about for 2025. It's a fun practice to try out for yourself! Take a listen.
