In this engaging mini-episode of "Taking the Plunge," we delve into a wellness-filled weekend that opened doors to creativity and self-discovery. We begin by recounting our experiences at the Evanston Conscious Movement Fest, where we took part in a thought-provoking process painting event that emphasized the importance of the creative journey over the final product. This experience prompted us to confront our inner critics and embrace the joy of artistic expression. We then ventured to the enchanting Witchy Bitches Spring event, where we explored a vibrant array of vendors and even had our past lives read, uncovering surprising insights into our personal histories. Join us as we reflect on these transformative experiences and the lessons they imparted.To follow Taking The Plunge or to share an act of kindness with us: https://www.instagram.com/plungeshow/Or email: Plungepodcastguests@gmail.com

On this episode of The Truth In This Art, I'm excited to share my conversation with Lex Marie, a DC-based multidisciplinary artist whose powerful work I've been eager to explore for years. Lex creates compelling paintings, sculptures, and installations that reflect personal experiences and deeply resonate with the African diaspora, often using everyday and reclaimed materials. We explore Lex's creative process, from her early creative explorations as a child (where she was known for coloring outside the lines with purpose!) to her pivotal decision to pursue painting in college and her impactful first solo exhibition in 2021. Lex shares her insights on the courage it takes to create art that addresses personal experiences and societal challenges, including the weighty realities of childhood for many African American children and children of color, systemic challenges, and her experience as a mother to a young Black boy in America.This conversation is more than just an interview; it's an insightful look into the motivations and inspirations behind her thought-provoking pieces and the importance of authenticity in artistic expression.This episode was recorded at Eaton DC, my creative home away from home, a hotel that's also a vibrant cultural center. If you're interested in contemporary art, the power of artistic expression, or stories that matter, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover the compelling and authentic work of Lex Marie.

In honor of Women's History Month we're producing a two-part series about two artists who were visionaries and trailblazers. In part 2, we look at the career of Mary Blair. She changed the way Walt Disney wanted to make animation and brought modernist sophistication to his style. But not everyone at the studio was on board with Walt's dream to “get Mary in the picture.” I talk with animation historians John Canemaker and Mindy Johnson about the influence of Mary Blair, and how we've experienced her work more than we've actually seen it. And I talk with author Gabrielle Stecher about the more complicated aspects of Blair's legacy. Mindy Johnson's book is Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney Animation. John Canemaker's book is Magic Color Flair: The World of Mary Blair. Gabrielle Stecher's article is “Examining The Legacy of Mary Blair.” This episode is sponsored by Audible and Remi.

Margo is joined by fantastical and whimsical artist, Jules Gissler. Jules doesn't color in the proverbial lines, and she is proud to create art that has a voice and a story. Over the years, my work has taken different shapes, as has she. Jules believes in being braver, bolder, and unafraid to take up space and also the important role humor and connection plays in our evolution. Jules' art is an embodiment of who she is. It's how she lives her magic, the combination of vulnerability, attachment to nature, courage, and her voice that make her unlike any other being under the sun. She is grateful to have discovered these qualities and hopes the many layers of emotions and experiences she has, shows up in her work in a way that inspires smile-ish-ness (her Dr. Seuss made-up word) and connection. Margo and Jules discuss: Attending Montana State University to discovering her passion for art and jewelry design The significance of music and its impact on her creativity How she's embraced new opportunities and takes initiative in business Vulnerability, connection, and natures role in her creative journey How she continually pushes forward in trying new things (artistic endeavors, life, etc.) Storytelling through her art Collaborating with a designer like Michael Grey for Birkenstock Advice for artists navigating their own creative journeys Learn the art of PROCreate with Beth Buffington by visiting https://www.bdi-create.today/windowsill Connect with Jules: https://www.julesgissler.com https://instagram.com/julesAgissler https://www.facebook.com/julesGisslerArtist https://www.linkedin.com/in/jules-gissler https://www.pinterest.com/julesgissler/ https://www.amazon.com/Save-Earth-Daisy-Sleeve-T-Shirt/dp/B09NTQ2SZW/ https://www.illustratorsforhire.com/featuring/jules-gissler-illustrator-for-hire Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com/ www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill

EP #259 - Thriving with Cancer, An Interview with Jan Adrian, author and Executive Director of the non-profit, Healing Journeys. I am not only honored but so grateful to have Jan Adrian as a guest once again on Empowering Chats. I last interviewed Jan about 2 years ago and since that time she has written a memoir entitled, Coloring Outside the Lines, Surviving and Thriving with Cancer for 30+ Years. In this powerful chat Jan shares her life journey about living with cancer for over 30 years and how she came to understand and accept that she was never going to "beat" the cancer. She learned to accept her diagnosis and the many times it continued to show up in her body, even though her initial response was usually, "Oh S**T" she always found her way to the silver lining. Jan never intended to write a book, she felt there were too many books already written about cancer. However, after much prodding from her friends and those she worked with at her non-profit, Healing Journeys, she realized there had never been a book written from the point of view of living and thriving with cancer. So she decided she would write her memoir with cancer as the focal point. Jan's book is both inspiring and informative. It is not just about cancer but about resilience, trusting your intuition and your body. She shares stories from her childhood, including one that began at the young age of 16 when she was diagnosed with an unknown disease. The doctors could not pinpoint what was causing her symptoms or why she was so ill. She was eventually seen by a chiropractor who primarily used diet to help her body heal. In her book, Jan describes the many strategies she used for healing, and how she learned that everything that washed up on her beach could be used for the growth of her soul. To purchase Coloring Outside the Lines and learn more about Jan visit: HealingJourneys.org/coloring-outside-the-lines-surviving-and-thriving-with-cancer-for-30-years-by-jan-adrian/ Her book can also be purchased on Amazon.

On today's episode we navigate the struggles of identity, representation, and the unsettling reality of opportunities disproportionately eluding creators of color. As online creators, our digital presence is not just about social media, but a manifestation of our creative selves, making the loss of access much more than a technical glitch. Drawing on my personal experiences and insights from the online creator community, we explore how digital spaces are not merely platforms, but mirrors reflecting our aspirations, expressions, and connections. The loss of these spaces due to factors beyond our control can have far-reaching implications on our self-identity and creative momentum. Join us as we challenge the norms, question the biases, and strive for a digital world that embraces the multifaceted creativity of all its inhabitants.

Our lives can change in the blink of an eye. We have a life that we are living and then… something happens. Accident, death, divorce, loss, trauma. Our lives unfold just as they should , but our acceptance of that is very uncomfortable to accept, acknowledge and live with. Healing from these events, roadblocks or setbacks forces us to seek help from others to help us on a path of healing. Many will say you need to adhere to strict guidelines and will never seek an alternative. They will limit themselves. Keli Kane has unfolded to color outside the lines and forced to relinquish control to the universe. What's up everyone? Time for episode two hundred six of Above Ground Podcast. Our guest this week is Hudson Valley Author and Educator, Keli Kane. Her book, Angel in the Mirror, is available now. Keli shares with us her story of overcoming her traumatic brain injury, her healing journey and finding her way out of the darkness that she touched. Keli left no healing modality untouched and used many to help her learn how to walk and talk all over again. It takes a village and Keli is surrounded. Letting go creates the greatest power for our spirit and giving our bodies to the water helps us float. Keli gave herself over to the universe and it has been gifting her since she made that sacrifice of the life she thought she was meant to lead. Keli was the victim of a drunk driving accident and suffered a TBI. Keli was forced into growth mode and she grew into a the angel in the mirror. Happy birthday also to Keli, because she celebrates the following day. So let's make this a birthday to remember. This Saturday, May 27, 2023 at Barnes and Noble, Kingston, NY from 1-3pm. Keli is discussing and signing her book, Angel in the Mirror. Keli has dedicated her life to helping others. Keli's work as a Reading Specialist and Teacher and her Reiki work deliver direct support to people and meets them where they are. Things that are therapeutic don't have to look like it. Thanks for listening to another episode of Above Ground Podcast. As we roll out of another month and Mental Health Awareness Month ends, remember, everyone has mental health. Until next time we run the beautiful bean footage, get well, be safe, stay ABOVE.

Are you living your life based on the checklist of success? Or, are you asking yourself every single day what you are desiring to choose and create? Most of us have been taught to check the boxes in life, and that when we get enough checked we will be happy and successful. But, what happens when you've checked all the boxes and you realize it's not creating what you thought it would? In this podcast episode, Sarah Grandinetti explores what's beyond the checklist of life with the colorful Ninfis Sanchez. Ninfis shares how she went from being an unsatisfied but successful, young corporate worker that had almost completed her life checklist, to actually exploring the question of “What do I really want, even if it looks like nothing I've had so far? And, even if no one else gets it?” Join us for a journey into what it looks like to start choosing for you. It doesn't have to happen with a giant leap off of a cliff. It can start day by day with incorporating seemingly small moments that increase your joy. Take aways: - What color can you add to your life (literally and figuratively) that would start to change the perspective you have of your life? - Where can you start choosing your joy in even the small things? Choose, create and nurture the space of your joy. - When there is something in your life that you can't change (like a coworker you have to work with), what is it that you can change for you that makes this easier for you? - Ask: “What else is possible?” and “How does it get any better that this?” every day. Let the questions and the universe surprise you with the infinite possibilities available.

In this episode of The Ginni Show, I talk with designer Rasheeda Gray about her personal journey to finding a career with purpose. Today, she's going strong as the Founder and Lead Designer of Gray Space Interiors. But, it took her 25 years to realize that this was what she wanted to spend the rest of her life doing. Today, you'll hear what took her so long to figure it out. She shares her ultra-relatable desire to please others before taking a chance on her own dreams, and what it feels like to carry that responsibility on your shoulders. She also talks about the importance of exposure to the arts for young people, and how a single assignment when she was in the fourth grade helped her recognize her need for creativity.
