149. You’re Not Alone in Feeling Lonely with Dr Sylvia Kalicinski
Bound & Determined
In a world where we’re overly connected to technology, which should, in theory, make community stronger, we are actually the loneliest we’ve ever been. Dr. Sylvia was a student of mine several years ago. About to leave a hospital therapeutic practice, she was in that “what’s next” moment we all find ourselves in at one point or another. So she began to listen. Listen deeply, for themes coming up in her patients. From youth to folks in their golden years, much of what her patients were struggling with could be reduced down to disconnection, abandonment and loneliness. And...

146. The Consistency Code with Courtney Townley
Bound & Determined
Mid-podcast interview with Courtney Townley, my guest this week, a comment she said stopped me in my tracks. “I moved from discipline to devotion.” She was talking to me about how she reframed the times she showed up to write–moving from discipline (or something she HAD to do), to devotion (focusing on this incredible book that would serve her community). I absolutely love the distinction. Courtney, already known for her poignant reframes around women, midlife and wellness, made the point that women don't need another guru telling them to move their body, stress less and eat...

After a wonderful lunch with a former client last week, sharing stories and delicious Italian food, I was reminded how damaging comparison can be in the creative process.

143. When Going Off Track Lands You On Purpose with Jenna Zaffino
Bound & Determined
Have you ever been working on a big project that spawns lots of little project ideas? This recently happened to me while looking for a new bed for my son. It turned into an entire room remodel and started giving me ideas for changes to make in my own room and entryway, new organization for the kitchen, and more. I see it happen with books, too–working on the proposal, then deciding to start a Substack or a podcast. Creativity begets creativity. Recently, one of my Book Proposal Blueprint students reached out to let me know how much the program benefited her business with new products and...
