A podcast celebrating Julia Cameron's acclaimed book The Artist's Way. Following the structure of the book, each episode will examine the concepts and connections from a single chapter.
Now more than ever, creativity is celebrated and valued. But many of us are flagged by self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Our fears and insecurities keep us from going after the thing we most want. But the universe is cheering you on. You simply need to step out of your own way. Embrace your own creative recovery, and join us In the Way.
"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck."
-Emma Goldman
Money is the thing that no one wants to talk about. Emotions of shame and guilt are common blocks. Is money the thing that provides us what we need or keeps us from what we want? This episode features artist Liz Volpi. We discuss finding joy in the things around you, treating yourself, and sticking it to the man.
