13: How to Hate Writing Less
Taking the Leap!
I am totally an adult-onset writer and Ann Handley's Everybody Writes totally turned my life around. I went from being deathly afraid of writing to actually writing and releasing my first book. Ann Handley's book made this totally possible for me. As artists, we have to learn how to market ourselves and our work and this often means writing – whether thats product listings, websites, scripts, brochures and more.

10: Dropping Into Our Hearts with Deb Ozarko
Taking the Leap!
I've been following Deb's podcast for some time. She speaks of the things that matter to our hearts, our soul and our planet. Since this recording, I was able to spend a day with her and her two dogs laughing, walking and exploring these topics even more. I can't thank Deb enough for all that she has shared. We're speaking about her Status Quo Crusher Revolution manifesto, pain as a gateway to our purpose and living in love not fear.
