Wildly impactful conversations with creatives, freelancers and entrepreneurs in the outdoor industry.
The outdoor industry has its own culture and value system that can be tough to navigate. And if that wasn't hard enough, freelancing is notoriously ambiguous and secretive. This podcast looks to change all that!
Creatives In The Wild is all about providing you the tools, perspectives, and stories to help you feel connected and excited to grow your freelance business in the outdoors industry.
Guests share the experiences, wisdom and best practices that have helped their businesses succeed so you can too.
This is My "Screw You" to the Attention Economy: Making Space | 12 Weeks of Wintering Week 11
Welcome to Week 11 of 12 Weeks of Wintering! We're exploring Space Making, the act of creating intentional pauses, buffer zones, and moments to reflect.
Hear about my own struggle with waking up every morning in reaction mode (consuming news, emails, social media, podcasts) and feeling overwhelmed and anxious instead of grounded. You'll learn:
Why creative business owners especially need space to let ideas percolate
How to evaluate your relationship with digital media and noise
Practical ways to integrate space-making into your calendar
12 Weeks of Wintering is a practice I'm sharing while I'm on parental leave. Each week offers a Wintering theme, with a minisode like this, an email companion, and reflection prompt so you can add some Being back into all your Doing.
Join the free Wintering Club to add community and accountability to your being practice! You'll find:
Access to a private Slack chat where you can respond to a prompt around each week's theme and connect with other creatives doing this work
Monthly virtual meet-ups to unpack the practices, facilitated by Angie Lake (who'll be holding down the fort while I'm on leave)
Think of this as a coaching practice you can take at your own pace. It's an invitation to reset and make time for the reflection and just being that you've been putting off.
Join my email list and share this with others to get the rest of 12 Weeks of Wintering in your inbox, and to hear when I return from leave in the spring.

How to Use the ACT Framework for Lasting Change | 12 Weeks of Wintering Week 9
Welcome to Week 9 of 12 Weeks of Wintering! We're exploring Transformation, how true change happens and why it takes more time than we think.
Hear about the ACT framework (Awareness → Choice → Transformation) that my own coach introduced me to, and why it's been such a game-changer for understanding why new insights don't immediately translate into new behaviors. You'll learn:
Why awareness is the crucial first step before any change can happen
How to build the muscle of noticing before you can make different choices
Why giving yourself time and grace is essential for lasting transformation
