The Storymaking Podcast - Resilience in Rejection, and Finding Strength When the Story Changes

Rejection isn't the end of the story, it's just part of it. In this episode, I talk about how artists, writers, and creators can navigate setbacks with strength and self-compassion. We'll explore real practices and examples from successful creatives who've turned rejection into redirection, and how resilience grows when we remember why we create in the first place. Because art doesn't just help us heal. Art helps the world remember that hope still exists. For more on my story coaching, classes, and upcoming writing retreats, visit www.thestoryfarm.org

The Storymaking Podcast: Episode 10 - Why Momentum Matters More Than Luck

Success in the arts isn't about luck, it's about rhythm, consistency, and showing up. In this episode, I talk about how to sustain momentum once you've started and how to create new opportunities for yourself as a writer, artist, or entrepreneur. Drawing on lessons from screenwriters, actors, and creative leaders who built their own doors when none were open, we'll explore how small, repeatable actions lead to lasting success, and why staying authentic through the process is the real key to growth.

The Storymaking Podcast - Turning Connections into Opportunities Without Losing Yourself

Episode 9 – Turning Connections into Opportunities Without Losing Yourself Networking doesn't have to feel desperate or inauthentic. In this episode, I talk about how to approach new connections and collaborations with self-assurance, realistic expectations, and a spirit of generosity. By understanding how the industry works, grounding yourself in who you are, and leading with what you can offer - not what you can get - you can turn introductions into meaningful opportunities while staying true to your authentic voice.

Sharing Your Voice with the World

Most artists dislike networking, and many introverts dread putting themselves out there. In this episode, I talk about how to share your voice and presence with the world in a way that builds real connection, opportunity, and momentum. It's not about forcing yourself to "network". It's about coming from a place of self-assurance, honoring your own gifts, and practicing authentic connection without desperation or ego.

Finding Your Voice and Presence – What People Feel Every Time They Encounter You

Your message is the truth you're living - but your presence is how people feel that truth every time they meet you, read your work, or hear your voice. In this episode, I explore how to turn clarity of message into a steady, magnetic presence, drawing from Deepak Chopra's principles of Sat Chit Ananda (when your inner dialogue matches the fire of your soul) and Sankalpa (the vow to bring your intentions into existence). Whether you're a writer trying to make your presence felt on the page, or a creator putting yourself in front of an audience, this episode is about authenticity, self-awareness, and showing up fully as who you are - flaws, gifts, and all.
