Pursue Your Passion with Bryan Pangilinan 07/08/2024

Pursue Your Passion with Bryan Pangilinan Have you felt the excitement (and terror!) that comes along with pursuing your passion? If you have, you’ll love this episode featuring Bryan Pangilinan, composer, artist, singer, producer, CEO, husband and bird dad. In this episode, Bryan shares his journey of outgrowing the grind and pursuing his passion for music, leading to the creation of the musical Larry the Musical: An American Journey about Filipino American labor leader Larry Itliong. 🌱 In this episode, you’ll learn: About a pivotal, permission-giving conversation Bryan and I had in a pool in Las Vegas five years ago. How different parts of Bryan’s identity as a gay, cisgender, Filipino American male from an immigrant family inform his life and work. Different steps along Bryan’s career journey - from moving to San Francisco in the late 90s to serve the Filipino American community during the HIV and AIDS epidemic to his 25+ years of experience as a professional fundraiser. How performing in a play highlighted the dissonance between how things looked on the outside and how they felt on the inside for Bryan. How overcoming shame and guilt is often a large part of outgrowing the grind. What composing and producing a full-length musical with a 100% Filipino American creative time, cast, and crew that reached 8,000+ people in 23 sold out shows has been like for Bryan and his team. The vivid challenge of the Larry the Musical creative team choosing to continue to pursue their passion amidst steep upfront payroll and production costs and uncertainty. How this experience has taught Bryan and his creative team the importance of dreaming big and how “a dream is not impossible.” How Bryan continues to give himself permission on a regular basis. A little bit about the musical that Bryan’s creating now. The “intoxicating, calming, and joyful” national flower of the Philippines that brings Bryan back to growing up in San Diego. Your reflection questions: 1) What percentage of your life (your time, energy, and attention) goes towards what matters most to you? 2) How can you infuse more of what matters most into your life? 🌱 Seeds planted in this episode: Visit .

Cultivating Self-Trust When Creating Something New with Seema Sodha 09/01/2023

Cultivating Self-Trust When Creating Something New with Seema Sodha I'm so excited to introduce you to Seema Sodha, Canadian Indian leadership and executive coach, heart centered facilitator, women's circle holder, and writer. In this conversation, Seema shares about how easily creative endeavors can turn into the grind, especially when we’re looking for answers outside of ourselves. 🌱 In this episode, you’ll learn: The story of how I first met Seema and what an honor and delight it is to co-create with her. What household object the texture of “the grind” reminds Seema of. How Seema’s rigid writing regimen got her more words on the page but missed the heart and soul. The messages we receive about productivity and action that can get especially loud when we create something new. How Seema shifted her approach to bring more of herself and her unique taste into her writing. The beautiful way Seema engages her senses and self-trust when she writes.

What external forces make it easy for us to hand our power over to someone else and not trust ourselves. How Seema sees the moments we realize we’re in the grind as an invitation. How sharing your truth and connecting with others is an antidote to the sneakiness of the grind that wears us down. About our upcoming women’s circle where we’ll help you explore and befriend your inner good girl / people pleaser. The two herbs from Seema’s garden that transform her week.
