Heartful Podcast with Brooke Schultz

I spoke with the talented and contagiously hopeful Brooke Schultz, on her Heartful podcast. Brooke shines her light on creativity, how we can channel and understand it. You can listen to our conversation HERE about finding art everywhere in your life, throwing flowers at the feet of your pain, making creating informal and accessible, and finding hope no matter what.

Some take aways:

Start in the middle. Wherever you are in your life/day/progress, let your beginnings be everywhere. Get outside the linear and focus on right now.

Tell the Truth. With a capital T. Even a small slice, carries weight, and opens you to the habit. There is always something to say about how you really feel.

People are your greatest resource. The connections we cultivate, conversations we initiate, lessons we learn from each other in the mix, are fuel for new insights and inspiration. Open yourself up, and listen back. Our interactions with the world are what change us.

Hard things give the gift of perspective. They give your understanding depth. They soften your heart and sharpen your vision. They help translate the way other humans feel, see, live. Don’t hide what you’ve survived, own it, share it, help with it.

All art comes from the same place. Be open to all of your gifts, interests, curiosity, history. Follow them, make things with them, understand yourself and the world through them. Collect what you love, and reflect it back.
