Working through what’s in the way with Courtney Burg (Interview)

12/10/20 • 39 min

In today’s episode with Courtney Burg, we talk about roadblocks. We talk about the things that get in the way in life, work, and relationships. In the moment, it can feel like the circumstances or emotions that keep us stuck are permanent. In that place, Courtney’s writing serves as a graceful, yet direct tool to show us that even when the roadblocks slow us down, and even when they go on for miles and miles, perhaps, there is still a way around it. We can still make it through. Perhaps, there is still room to work through all of the things we thought would hold us back. - Morgan Harper Nichols Listen to our conversation on… https://open.spotify.com/show/7pLfQ77qC81fNofJcdFOol (Listen on Spotify) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-morgan-harper-nichols-show/id1310458364 (Listen on Apple Podcasts) https://anchor.fm/morganharpernichols (Other ways to listen) Courtney Burg https://www.mombojombo.org/ (Courtney Burg’s website) https://www.instagram.com/courtneyjburg/ (Courtney Burg on Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/mombojombo.org/ (Courtney Burg on Facebook) Referenced in the episode: Courtney’s post that Morgan mentioned: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAhGyMntPN/?igshid=3y9lis6wz122 (https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAhGyMntPN/?igshid=3y9lis6wz122) The book Morgan mentioned: https://g.co/kgs/WiW4TL (To Bless The Space Between Us by John O’Donohue) The book Courtney mentioned: https://g.co/kgs/4CiSWv (Educated by Tara Westover) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/morganharpernichols/message

Finding peace through creativity with NIKKOLAS SMITH (Interview)

I think one of the biggest myths about creativity is that it's all about making art. In reality, creativity is about the process and everything we learn while trying to make something new, no matter what the final product looks like. Creativity is a way to share a message we truly care about that otherwise may not have been heard. Creativity is a form of illuminating what’s important that gets easily looked over or forgotten. Creativity is many things, and for NIKKOLAS SMITH, creativity is a place where he has found peace. NIKKOLAS is an Artivist, children's book author, a Hollywood film illustrator whose work serves as an invitation into conversations and stories that are worthy of illumination.
