Now, more than ever, we need beauty and art to help us process all the world throws at us.
This beautiful and uplifting conversation with Gurmehar Singh, artist, is just the balm you didn't know you needed this week. We talk about how she moved through adversities, how she handles doubt and criticism, and she offers wise advice for Creatives.

From her current home in Thailand, Gurm sat down with me for a great conversation about what Encouragement has looked like in her life and has wise, practical encouragement for Creatives about their craft, about dealing with imposter syndrome, social media haters, and so much more.

Conversations about the Creative life can be important life lines of encouragement for our work.

This conversation with Lauren Best was well-timed and much needed for me personally. From meta perspectives and big questions to examples from our real daily lives, we invite you to explore those big questions with us as well.
Creatives will find so many points of connection and intersection in this episode, while hopefully finding affirmation and encouragement too. This episode is Part I of our conversation. Part II is also available now.

This conversation with Lauren Best felt like a warm hug. Sometimes I need deep conversations with other Creatives who are willing to explore questions and ideas in complex, creative, and thoughtful ways.
Both parts of this 2-Part episode of Sounds of Encouragement will drop on Friday, Dec. 1st. You don't want to miss it!
