In this episode of Coffee Talk with Bryan and Marie, we sit down with Erin Schalk — a writer, editor, and interdisciplinary artist whose work bridges storytelling, visual art, and education. With an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Erin has built a career centered on voice, accessibility, and the human experience. Her writing appears in respected literary journals, her artwork has been exhibited internationally, and her teaching spans more than a decade of developing inclusive, art‑driven programs.Married to a retired veteran, Erin brings a unique perspective on resilience, creativity, and the power of expression. She works closely with writers to strengthen narrative structure, emotional depth, and authenticity, while also designing workshops that blend art, writing, and inclusive practices for diverse communities. This conversation explores the craft, the heart, and the purpose behind Erin's work — and how creativity becomes a bridge between lived experience and meaningful connection.https://www.erinschalk.com/about

Women are craving spaces that feel safe, creative, energizing, and real. In this episode, Stephanie Mitton sits down with Toronto DJ and content creator Elise Purdon to talk about Craft Rave, the surprising power of niche community, and what happens when women stop trying to fit the mold and start building something that fits them instead. This episode covers: how Elise built a creative career across content creation, DJing, and music production why morning routines, writing, and quiet thinking can unlock creative clarity how Craft Rave came to life by combining house music, crafting, and community what women are telling Elise they need right now from events and social spaces the challenge of entering male-dominated industries without losing yourself how social media can help build community while also becoming a creative trap why boundaries with screens and space away from the internet matter so much This conversation is a reminder that women do not have to shrink to belong. Sometimes the most powerful move is to create the room you were looking for all along.

Episode 84, ACT 2: Ania Upstill- Creative Space for Possibility by Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie

Episode 106: Why Welcoming Everyone Gets Complicated with Garland FullerWhat this episode is about:What does it actually take to build a space where people feel like they belong? Garland Fuller — culture consultant and founder of Third Space Academy — has made it her life's work to answer that question. We get into the gap between what organizations say they value and how they actually operate, why "I want everyone to come" is a lot trickier than it sounds, and what intentional community building really looks like in practice.This one hit close to home — I share what I've been learning building my pop-up cinema project on Chicago's south side through the Change Collective fellowship, and Garland brings the strategic clarity to help it all click.Let's get into it:What is a culture consultant, actually? Garland breaks down the "people, place, program" framework and why culture is often the unseen force shaping how organizations actually operate — not just what's on the mission statementValues: aspiration vs. reality — Why integrity and service are on everyone's list, what it actually means to walk the talk, and when it might be time to update values that no longer fit who your org has becomeThird spaces are disappearing (or getting expensive) — From libraries to record shops to country clubs, Garland explains the spectrum of third spaces and who's really being invited inThe "I want everyone to come" trap — Why all-ages, all-inclusive spaces are aspirational but tricky, with real examples from Stephanie's micro cinema project (Poetic Justice vs. Disney night, anyone?)Building the Community Impact Collective — Garland's digital sanctuary for femmes who are done fitting into boxes, why she built it for community over solo learning, and the Show and Tell Mondays that keep it realAdapt or die: organizations that are going stale — A real talk about churches, legacy orgs, and what happens when your next generation isn't in your current membershipPractical strategies: surveying, focus groups, and why anonymous mattersLeadership advice that hits: People are watching you in the small moments more than the big keynotesChapters: • 00:08 - Introducing the Guest • 07:20 - Understanding Culture and Values in Organizations • 16:55 - Creating All-Age Spaces: Building Community Connections • 19:00 - Exploring Community Engagement • 31:27 - Building Community and Support in Creative Spaces • 36:14 - Facilitation and Empathy in Group Dynamics • 44:21 - Facilitation and Engagement in Education • 48:21 - Creating Third Spaces: Starting from Your WhyThings We MentionedThird Space Academy — Garland's coaching program for leaders building intentional community spaces Community Impact Collective — Garland's digital community for femmes and changemakers The Change Collective Fellowship — the civic leadership fellowship Stephanie participated in that sparked her pop-up cinema projectSoho House — referenced as an example of an exclusive, membership-based third spaceRay Oldenburg's concept of "third spaces" — the sociological framework underlying this whole convo (optional — confirm

Episode 84, ACT 1: Ania Upstill - Creative Space for Possibility by Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie

In this episode of Stitch Please, host Lisa Wolfork tackles a critical conversation about anti-fascism, anti-racism, and anti-blackness within progressive craft communities. Prompted by her experience in an anti-fascist knitting subreddit, Lisa addresses the Norwegian Red Hat of Resistance (Melt the Ice pattern), the problematic response to a Black woman's critique, and why anti-fascism without anti-racism is like "a dog chasing its tail." This episode is essential listening for understanding why Black women's critique is not dismissal but observation based on extensive lived experience in predominantly white creative spaces, and why it is so important for us to have our own spaces.Hosted By: Dr. Lisa WoolforkSenior Producer: Krystal HillProducer: Mike Bryant========Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture. Her teaching and research explore Black women writers, Black identity, trauma theory, and American slavery. She is the founder of Black Women Stitch, the sewing group where Black lives matter. She is also the host/producer of Stitch Please, a weekly audio podcast that centers on Black women, girls, and femmes in sewing. In the summer of 2017, she actively resisted the white supremacist marches in her community, Charlottesville, Virginia. The city became a symbol of lethal resurging white supremacist violence. She remains active in a variety of university and community initiatives, including the Community Engaged Scholars program.

Send a textA day planned for Galentines fun turned into a real talk about how friendships start, drift, and return—and how creative spaces can make that journey easier. We kick things off with a full schools-out arts day at the studio, a mom-and-daughter sewing lesson, and our Crafty Cinema night at the Canton Palace Theater, complete with dimmed lights, portable crafts, and playful giveaways. Then we get honest about going to a sold-out Galentines pop-up alone, what it felt like to sit among tight-knit groups, and why a simple bracelet and a few kind faces can still make the night feel warm.From there, we map out how to design community on purpose. We share the small choices that turn a class into a welcome—remembering names, keeping a seat open, and making it easy for solo guests to join a table. You'll hear about upcoming sessions with our exhibiting artist, Tracy Freemason, who's guiding a cartoon-style sneaker painting workshop, and fused glass classes with Amy Pepperney that keep sparking new friendships. We also talk about unexpected friend-making machines like Mahjong at the library, where shared practice breaks the ice faster than small talk ever could.We don't skip the tender parts. Friend circles change with moves, marriages, kids, and new jobs; some bonds fade, others return through reunions or a lucky scroll on social media. We talk about reconnecting with old friends, even a high school friendship that became a marriage years later, and how to invite newcomers without pressure. If showing up solo feels scary, we offer gentle tactics: arrive early, ask simple questions, let your hands stay busy, and come back once more. Process over perfection becomes the throughline—for art, for community, for friendship.If this conversation nudged you to try a class, bring a friend, or leave a seat open for someone new, share it with your circle.

WE STILL HAVE NO NAME... We spend most of this episode wrestling with what to name our new gallery space. The conversation moves through dozens of possibilities—from "Synchronicity" to "Room" to "Keyframe"—trying to find something that isn't pretentious, that wears well over time, and that captures the intersection between a photography gallery, Josh's furniture showroom, and a functional creative space. We talk about Star Wars naming, city names, and why the best names feel obvious once you hear them.Beyond the naming problem, we dig into what this space actually needs to be. Not a stark white-wall gallery, not a packed vintage shop, but something in between—a place that feels lived-in and functional while still formally presenting work. We discuss projectors versus CRT TVs, lighting strategies, and how to arrange furniture so the space encourages conversation rather than commerce. The bigger goal emerges: creating a scene in Omaha for street photographers and creative people, a place comparable to Warhol's Factory or the Neistat brothers' studio—somewhere work gets made because there's a community constantly pushing each other. We talk about curation philosophy, the difference between selling objects and presenting a way of seeing, and building trust with an audience by being selective about what gets shown. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Send us a textA beloved shop is closing after fifteen years, and that news becomes the spark for a candid look at what it truly takes to keep a creative space alive. We talk about the hidden math of brick-and-mortar retail, the emotional toll of slow walk-in traffic, and the small pivots that add up—adjusting hours, focusing on classes and events, and building offerings that bring families into the studio to make, paint, and play.Along the way, we celebrate the network that keeps artists moving forward. From a mobile gift shop making the leap to a storefront to a friend relocating her studio in a blizzard, these stories show how community, grit, and practical help can turn a hard season into a fresh start. We also share how non-monetary support matters: a post shared, a review written, or a recommendation sent to a friend. For those who prefer shopping online, affiliate links and small e-commerce setups can quietly keep the lights on without asking anyone to spend more than they planned.If you've ever wondered how to support local makers when money is tight, you'll leave with concrete ideas—buy a gift card, book a class, pick up a small piece for a raffle, or simply amplify the work you love. We're honest about margins, transparent about what the studio currently covers, and optimistic about February's plans, newsletters, and playful community moments.

What if mistakes aren't something to hide or avoid. but something we can actually work with? In this episode of Stories for the Future, I'm joined by Andrea Wodniok for a playful, honest conversation about messiness, inner critics, and learning to screw up happy. Andrea works with applied improv, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Hero's Journey. She helps people with public speaking, communication, creativity, and confidence. always with a strong focus on playfulness, presence, and being human. Together, we explore: Why we're often so afraid of getting things wrong What improv can teach us about courage and uncertainty How ACT helps loosen the grip of the inner critic Why mistakes don't define us. but often help us grow And how a little more playfulness might help us treat both ourselves and each other better This episode is part of the Creative Space series, where I speak with members of the Creative Space community about meaningful work, good lives, and navigating change with curiosity and care for both people and planet.

In this episode I sit down with Charles Odom, solo founder of Painted Circle, a purpose-driven travel platform that's reimagining how we book — and experience — travel.Charles shares why being intentional with our travel choices matters now more than ever, how the traditional tourism model is broken, and what it means to travel in a way that benefits both you and the communities you visit. You'll also hear the story behind Painted Circle, the surprising economics of travel commissions, and why travel can be one of the most powerful tools we have in a divided world.This is the first episode in a new mini-series spotlighting members of Creative Space — a global community for solopreneurs, coaches and creatives.

In this talk, Jogen explores the intimate relationship between Zen practice and creativity, drawing on Dogen's teaching that practice, realization, and expression form a complete circle. He shows how every moment of experience is a creative act—whether in the stories we tell ourselves, the identities we shape, or the way culture and attention sculpt who we become. Mind itself is a boundless, neutral space of possibility, able to generate beauty, delusion, and freedom alike. By illuminating this creative power and infusing it with compassion, we discover how to use the twenty-four hours of each day, rather than be used by them.This talk was given on August 6 2025 at Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple. ★ Support this podcast ★

This week we welcome artist and cyclist Lisa Congdon. After a handful of charity bike rides, Lisa was drawn into cycling when she moved to Portland as a way to make friends in a new city. With a few years of road riding under her belt, Lisa was drawn into gravel cycling in 2020 and hasn't looked back. This elementary school teacher-turned artist, activist and cyclist has found a way to beautifully weave together her passions in a meaningful way by creating art that represents the things she is passionate about. Lisa describes how cycling allows her to let her mind wander into the creative spaces that help to get her creativity flowing for her artistic projects, and why cycling is so helpful for her creative practice. Not only does Lisa create beautiful art, she uses her work as a vehicle for social change, and has woven that into the work that she has done in the cycling space.Follow Lisa on Instagram @lisacongdon and visit her website at www.lisacongdon.com Follow us on Instagram:@girlsgonegravel @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:Feisty Girona Gravel Camp: Join us in Girona for an immersive week of exploring on bikes, reflecting, connecting, and setting intentions.
