Face the Fear

Pod Episode #18

I'm kicking off a little mini series about creativity with three different women who do three very different things. In this episode, I sit down with Laura, an old friend of mine with whom I reconnected recently. She's an incredibly talented woman who works as a writer, producer, director, and actor. And most recently, she is a documentary filmmaker with her debut doc short, Tiny Movements. Together, we talk about facing the fear to use our creative gifts to be a force for good in this world.

So, I invite you to get comfortable, sit back, and listen in.

Content warning: the film Tiny Movements is the story of woman who survived domestic violence and marital sexual abuse. Laura and I talk about that in this episode so please, take care of yourself, and if needed, skip this episode. And please know: you are not alone!
