Creatives Off The Clock

This episode features a conversation with the phenomenal Sarah Mills, CEO of Ink & Olive Media! We talk about entrepreneurship, analysis paralysis, travel, transitions, getting excited for things in business, advocating for ourselves in our biz, celebrating the small wins, and how we take time to recharge & replenish that creative energy in our bodies! On top of getting ready to launch her "How to Grow a Social Media Marketing Business Course" (Save your spot on the waitlist here: https://www.inkandolivemedia.com/social-media-marketing-business-course-waitlist), Sarah is also in the running for winning a "Best of Loudoun" award in the PR/Marketing category of Loudoun County VA businesses!

This episode features a conversation with the lovely Oliva Phelan Heiser @livphehei, a law student & serial sewer/crafter/trail runner/multitasker/extraordinaire! We talk about creating for utilitarian purposes, how productivity influences our creative practices, thrifting, repurposing, ethical & environmental consciousness, & integrating ritual into our creative endeavors. We also talk about how we can lean into the discomfort that sometimes come with creating things we may not like or know what to do with afterwards. Some items we reference: "Morning Pages" from The Artist’s Way - 1992 self-help book by American author Julia Cameron: https://amzn.to/3W3UPPJ ReCreative Denver -  A non-profit organization dedicated to promoting creativity, community and environmental stewardship through creative reuse & arts education.

Happy New Year!

You can find/fill out/download/print/cry on/burn your own YearCompass at: https://YearCompass.com/gb. Arrive. Reflect. Let go. Embrace. You got this. ♥️ #yearcompass #notanad #creativesofftheclock

Join me for this long-awaited episode I've been sitting on & letting percolate for the last few months of the year, for all the best reasons! I speak with THE Katherine Newell Okojie, ritual crafter, spiritual leader, speaker,  author, and dear friend. This was such a deeply personal & spiritual conversation and I am so thankful to have birthed this together! We talk about the importance of ritual in our lives as divine creative beings, finding time and space to be in our bodies, how creativity is infused with ethical manifestation, and we break down (and take down!) the capitalistic, nuanced pressures/container of "productivity". (TW:) We talk about some harder things: quitting on purpose for things that don't serve us, systemic racism, boundaries, parenting, being "cringe", online haters, and making the decision not to take sh*t from people who aren't "in the arena" doing the thing. We celebrate positive affirmations, creative risk-taking, and daring greatly with our whole essences.   Read the latest from Katherine: https://www.katherinenewell.com/post/morality-manifestation MAKE MAGIC WITH KATHERINE: https://www.katherinenewell.com/ritual-offerings Get a crash course in some of the paradigms we move in and touch on by listening to Katherine's appearance on the ReMembering & ReEnchanting podcast hosted by Sara Wolcott here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ii-3-untangling-manifesting-a-conversation/id1620018280?i=1000583531022 Watch the Netflix comedy standup special by Ronny Chieng "" referenced in this episode here: https://www.netflix.com/title/81267202 #beinthearena #creativesofftheclock ___ Love these creative convos?

In this episode I’m joined by Sean Khuon-Paige of @viewsbysean. Sean is a videographer, filmmaker & multi-talented freelancer extraordinaire! We talk about our myriad of digital interests, our childhood cringe origins stories, being creative on your own terms, and we get #real about burnout, digital detoxes, “screenagers”, the urge to “be on all the time” on social media, “doom-scrolling”, imposter syndrome, and ultimately…..how having fun should be the Whole Point, and finding out what you desire, and then doing that, is how we create fulfilling lives. Live vicariously through Sean and his creations at: https://viewsbysean.com/ (...and leave him that fire Google Maps review!!
