Creative Rebirth and the Whimsical World of Artistic Coaching

Sam Sundius is a visual artist, writer, translator, opinion-haver, advocate, drinks specialist, sourdough starter starver, and person with too many houseplants.

They also coach on money, success, grief, disability, neurodivergence, abolition, family, and---through it all---fostering a resilient AF creative practice.

You can find their artwork at samsundius.com and the home of their coaching practice, Art of Undiscipline, at artofundiscipline.com.

Cracking open the door to 'The Art of Undiscipline,' my conversation with Sam Sundius winds through the labyrinth of creative rebirth and the hilarity of our all-too-human tendencies. We reminisce about the zesty beginnings of passion projects that often end up as dusty relics on our shelves, waiting to be rediscovered. While embracing the quirks of our truest selves, I recount my transition from a conventional career to the thrills and spills of entrepreneurship, and how Sam's artwork and coaching services are challenging the norm.

Parisian au pair adventures and the art of navigating cultural nuances take centre stage as we swap stories from our younger, wilder days. The episodes of learning and unlearning across different lands lead to chuckles and gasps alike, as we dissect the assertiveness of French protests and the sobering encounters with city safety. Our club tales, however, are pure comedy gold—mistaking DJ booths for bars and friend-finding fiascos that only make sense under the neon lights.

Wrapping up, we tip our hats to the resilience of New Yorkers, the bold creativity of hair embroidery, and the importance of cultural humour—from side-splitting practical jokes to the unexpected encounters with unsuspecting street magicians. Sam leaves us with a tease of future classes and an invitation to explore her work further. If this eclectic buffet of tales and insights piques your curiosity, let your ears feast on the richness of our vibrant conversation.
