How do we find the courage to create?The courage to listen to, and follow our heart? Particularly when that means living a life that may not follow the beaten path?And how might we expand our capacity to hold more than one emotion at a time, accepting and embracing the messy experience of being human, and the inevitable ups and downs of the creative process?Today we will dive into these questions as we explore how art, and creative expression, may offer a path for living into the answers. We'll also discuss the practice of returning to that unabashed childlike boldness for bringing our artistic potential into the world. Remember that? That simple, and very human, practice of creativity (without apology or inhibition). A practice that can lead to feeling more fully alive.Today's guest is the incredibly talented artist, designer, and educator, Rukmini Poddar. Our conversation is deep but playful, moving at times, and practical as Rukmini shares a variety of helpful insights from her extensive experiences creating and teaching art, and facilitating workshops that foster greater emotional intelligence, wisdom, and compassion. Enjoying the show?

Welcome to episode 10! I have a conversation with Jenn Ho, founder of Lawrence and Argyle, an apparel brand that focuses on highlighting the immigrant and refugee experience.

On this episode of Positively Creative, Maggie Covert LeBlanc of Walking Man Studios talks with us about being an artist in New Orleans, keeping her business going while experiencing a family tragedy and how her art helped her heal after the loss of her niece. We also chat about her custom work and her adorable dog series!   About Maggie: Maggie Covert received her Bachelor’s degree from Maryland Institute College of Art in Interdisciplinary Sculpture with a Concentration in Book Arts. She was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her home has made a huge impact on her art, as the culture, vitality, and architecture are hard to escape. Since Hurricane Katrina, Maggie has been exploring the ideas of losing the contributing factors that make a place home. She has been drawn to the repetitive nature of disastrous events along with the governmental, social, and geographic reactions to these.   Her most recent work channels the whimsical nature of New Orleans’ architecture and characters. She continues to be drawn to details in the buildings and landscape of her hometown. Seeing the beauty and tireless work in each structure, She creates a connection to each establishment through the recreation of these in architectural drawings and paintings. Maggie currently works with multiple local realtors and real estate companies providing personalized illustrations and paintings for them to gift to sellers or buyers at closing. Creating connections with others who love architecture and real estate is continually inspirational to Maggie’s craft and business growth.   With her studio on Magazine Street in New Orleans, Maggie continues to work on Custom Home Portraits - for locals and many from other states such as Maryland, New York, Oregon and even receiving requests from the UK. Gaining experience with multiple commercial property drawings as well as album art and wedding invitations, she has branched out to stationary work allowing her to create custom notecards, postcards and custom wedding invitations. In addition to the architectural work, Maggie has begun a series of "Walking Illustrations".  Each walking piece is meant to provoke a feeling of movement (physical, emotional, spiritual, mental)- growth in one's life and development. With these illustrations, Maggie hopes to portray a joy that much art, culture and people are missing in modern times. Focusing in on joy with a little whimsy and maybe even some historical or spiritual undertones, Maggie aims to show that "everyone walks the same path."   Website: https://www.walkingmanstudios.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/walkingmanstudios/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/walkingmanstudios     Links: To get 50% off your first year with Honeybook, go to positivelycreative.net/honeybook!   About The Positively Creative Podcast: The Positively Creative Podcast was created by Dorothy Collier, artist of Dorothy Art, for creative entrepreneurs.

In this episode I speak with Natalie Burrage, the founder of the Facebook Page "The 100 Day Project". We speak about the distinction of keeping to a commitment versus the beginning excitement of a new project. In order for us to make meaningful transformation in our lives, we need to find the motivation and passion to not only begin, but to continue on the path of transformation. Hence the founding of the Facebook page. Listen in as Natalie and I speak about our own experiences and how accountability helps in the transforming of our lives. -Chris #transformation #100DayProject #accountability #lifechange #empowerment #lifecoaching #ChrisShea #NatalieBurrage #lifesjourney #podcast #interview #selfhelp --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/on-finding-peace/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/on-finding-peace/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Today - an update on the 100 Days of Starquilts and the Year of Making. I am still doing the year of making though I fell off the sharing a picture of my making, I need to get back to that. And I recently started the 100 days project. I love this, a bite size amount of time (if you can consider 100 days a bite size) and I am really so happy to learn something new about myself. Links to what I mention in the show - Meighan's What's Your Story podcast, the 100DayProject on instagram, my 100DaysofStarquilts, more about the 100 day project, and the year of making.
