#54- Don't Eat The Couch-(Episode 2 of Cliffs Notes From a Curious Mind)
Curating the Curious
09/29/22 • 16 min
This is the second episode of Cliffs Notes From a Curious Mind.
This idea is an abbreviated and (hopefully) thought provoking series that will feature the top 7 things that I have learned, loved, listened to, and/or labored over in the past several days.
These 7 things have been carefully chosen to speak about today in order for us to get curious together and maybe provide a bit of food for thought. Here are today's topics:
1) The Best Teachers...
2) Dr. Becky!!! (I said Amy in the episode!)
3) My favorite app (it's free!)
4) Choose Your Mentors Wisely
5) 2 of the best uplifting and fun shows to watch
6) Cognitive Load info
7) Eating the Couch with Liz Gilbert (Big Magic)

#51- No Mud, No Lotus
Curating the Curious
07/20/22 • 29 min
I'm baaaaaaaack!! It's been a while and boy, have I missed you all. I've been busy learning how to "sort my mail" and get this life of mine back on track. Today we will catch up with things that have happened since I dropped that bomb of a last episode back in March.
Things burning through my mind right now...friendship, being and introvert, paradigm shifts, the beauty of living in the gray area, and basically just finding a way to exist (and flourish) in this deeply divided world we are living in.
I'm taking you on a quick review of the tectonic shift that has been my life so far in 2022 and hopefully answering some questions that so many of you have had for me.
Spoiler alert: I'm all good now...finally! No Mud, No Lotus!

#50- Dealing with Criticism (and Gossip) - Learn to Sort Your Mail
Curating the Curious
03/23/22 • 15 min
“If you are a woman who dares to show up in the world in any way—big or small—the backlash will be swift and fierce and painful. It will come from men and women and people beyond and in between.
When a man puts out his work, the world asks: is his work worthy?
When a woman puts out her work, the world asks: Is she worthy of putting out her work?
So...rarely will her criticism be about her work at all. It will be about HER."
-Glennon Doyle
"If you are a woman considering showing up and using her voice in the world, you have got to learn how to sort your mail."

#48- You Are An Artist
Curating the Curious
02/10/22 • 6 min
You are an artist.
We are all artists in some way. Each one of us creates, shapes, molds, or even bakes things of some sort. We all dream, dance, plan, sketch, sing, and imagine new ideas. We’re not required to be good at these things...it’s all about the process. The light that it brings to your heart.
The moments of joy, energy, inspiration and flow will strike when you least expect it. Pay attention and follow where it leads. You are an artist and you belong. There is a creative space in this world for everyone. Welcome.
Today's episode is something I wrote this week and wanted to share with you all. I hope you enjoy and would love to hear from you if you do!

#47- Living a Life of Curiosity- (Best of the Best Compilation)
Curating the Curious
01/27/22 • 22 min
What does living a life of curiosity mean to you? Out of all of the things that we discuss on this podcast, that last question is my personal favorite.
No one person sees it the same way and every interpretation leads me closer to understanding what I was doing when I decided to create this show, with this name, Curating the Curious.
We've pulled this compilation together from each interview in the past year in order to inspire and also discuss what possibilities could be out there for all of us.
Hearing all of these words from each of our past guests has been music to our ears here. Hopefully it will be the same for you!

#44- Morning Mantra Manifesting #8 - Gratitude
Curating the Curious
11/23/21 • 4 min
Today's Morning Mantra Manifesting topic: Gratitude.
Gratitude is the portal to abundance, joy, and magic. As Eckhart Tolle says, “Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”
Positive affirmations have been scientifically proven to reduce stress and anxiety, change neural pathways, and increase healthy behaviors and activities. I dare you to try affirmations for 30 days and see what changes occur for you.
If you're looking for a quick way to kick off your day, join me! (I'll title all of these episodes with Morning Mantra Manifesting so you can spot them easily. )
Repeat after me, write them down, or listen a few times a day/week for a good reset!
Remember, "Every thought is either an investment or a cost". - T Harve Ecker

#41- An Episode for the Frustrated Creative- It Can Take a Long Time to Sound Like Yourself
Curating the Curious
10/21/21 • 9 min
“Man, sometimes it takes a long time to sound like yourself.” -Miles Davis
We talk about finding our creative voice all the time. But Miles Davis, an icon, offering up this news flash that nobody escapes that period of the in-between...
That space inside of what we want to create and what we actually have developed the skills in order to fulfill that expectation. It can take years of hard work to close that gap. How do we keep moving and what do we do in order to remain inspired and focused?
Whether you're new to your creative endeavor or a seasoned pro, you have already or are just beginning to experience this. It's the great truth of creating. Join me as we discuss.

#40- The 4 Agreements for Creatives
Curating the Curious
10/05/21 • 13 min
Today we're going to talk about 4 steps you can take in your life (today) in order to simplify and enhance your creative life and career. Often, it's the simplest of ideas that are the most overlooked. However, they're also usually the most powerful in the way of transformation and change.
Come with me as we review this gem of an idea that was introduced over 20 years ago...and still plays an integral part in the way that I attempt to avoid negativity, self doubt, and creative paralyzation. These agreements are a gift and I'm excited to dissect them with you.

#39- The One BIG Thing That's Holding You Back
Curating the Curious
09/29/21 • 15 min
We talk about all of the roadblocks to creating all the time: resistance, your inner critic, fear of the unknown, imposter syndrome...the list goes on and on. But in this episode I want to simplify it all for you into one very obvious but often overlooked idea.
It’s been talked about in many ways, but I don’t think that people quite understand how reluctant they are to accepting this one thing as a part of life and just meeting it head on. Today's episode is about about that one BIG thing that's standing in your way of going for it and staying the course. Once you hear it, the idea might sound so obvious and simple that you dismiss me at first...but I urge you to really look into it.
