Margo is joined by writer, coach, and retreat leader Maria Bowler for a conversation about redefining creativity beyond the limits of productivity. Maria helps creatives transform resistance into clarity and insight, drawing on her background as a magazine editor, creative writing teacher, and holder of a master's degree in religion and the arts from Yale University. Originally from Canada, she now lives with her family in the Driftless region of the U.S., where she continues to explore and teach a more holistic approach to creative living.   Margo and Maria discuss: Maria's creative journey, from childhood passion to overcoming major blocks How to redefine resistance as a valuable teacher rather than an obstacle The differences between productivity and creativity—and why confusing the two leads to burnout Seeing creativity as a collaboration with life, not just a series of tasks The impact of perfectionism on creative expression and how to loosen its grip Embracing whole-life creativity as part of daily living, not a separate act Balancing creative output with essential intake and inspiration Giving yourself permission to make mistakes and stay curious Practical strategies for reconnecting with creativity during stuck periods Highlights from Maria's new book Making Time: A New Vision for Crafting a Life Beyond Productivity   Connect with Maria: www.mariabowler.com www.mariabowler.substack.com https://www.instagram.com/mariaevbowler Connect with Margo:  www.windowsillchats.com @windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill https://www.yourtantaustudio.com/thefoundry

You're invited to join others at the Curiousity In Action: A Conference In Doing, for a full day of unique and immersive experiences highlighting the intersection of wellness and creativity.Conference participants will use curiosity to discover how creation is a form of self-care and how art-making is inherently therapeutic and spend the day with us making, thinking, connecting, creating, and just… being. We invite you to the first biannual Curiosity in Action: a conference for doing.What's a “Conference for Doing?” Well, it's exactly what it sounds like: taking the conference framework and making it actionable.Part of the aim in building a “conference for doing” is to offer all participants the opportunity to “try on” the ideas that are being shared by our presenters, so the day will follow an adult learning model that incorporates three elements: information, practice, and reflection. Each session will include all three pieces and they will repeat in this pattern:INFORMATION – Encouraging, thoughtful, and creative ideas will be shared by dynamic presenters during the large group sessionsPRACTICE – Immediately following each presentation, attendees will be invited to engage a personal practice that allows them to work with the content offered in the presentation. Prompts will be provided and attendees may engage them in any way that is most helpful to them – maybe you take a quick walk outdoors and think about the prompt, maybe you'd prefer to find a quiet place to be still, or maybe you borrow a friend for a brief chat. REFLECTION – All conference attendees will be divided into Reflection Groups that will gather after the brief “practice” time to continue their learning in community. Each reflection group will be facilitated by trained hosts who guide conversations and activities to help the group dig deeper into the “information” offered by the presenter(s).CURIOSITY IN ACTION- A CONFERENCE IN DOINGOverview, April 26, 2025, 9:00 am - 5:00 p @ Saugatuck Center for the ArtsCost | $125.  INFO + REGISTRATION: https://sc4a.org/SC4A Mission-the  SC4A is an arts center with a difference.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening everyone. Thank you so much for joining. What an honor it is that you chose to share time with me. This podcast series uses the art of story telling to share one of the most amazing adventures in life, what I call “A Modern-Day Vision Quest.” The adventure was my journey of Personal Growth, Self-Discovery, and Enlightenment.  To sum it up briefly, I had healed most of the wounds and impact from a traumatic childhood which I talk about in my book, Discovering Michael: An Inspiration Guide to Personal Growth & Self-Discovery. Following this phase of growth (which I term Personal Growth), what surfaced were nagging thoughts deep within to related to understanding who I truly am (Self-Discovery), and what life was all about and how I fit in (Enlightenment). Inspired by the movie, "Dances With Wolves", and The Call" by Jennifer James, I left a full-time job to backpack and volunteer around the world. I came face-to-face with situations that challenged my prior beliefs and ultimately resulted in learning about life itself and Discovering Michael. This talk is a collection of true stories about my adventures and learnings to hopefully engage you in a thought-provoking manner, while guiding and inspiring you for your own journey of self-discovery!! Part 3 continues with real-life stories about the segue I made from the Personal Growth stage to the Self-Discovery stage. There was a change within me following all the work I did in the Personal Growth stage, that was longing for a deeper understanding of self. It was characterized by questions such as "Who Am I?", "What Do I Stand For?" and "What Do I Want to Be When I Grow Up?" Before I was aware of the questions was a nagging feeling to learn more about myself and life. I share my story about the events and people that came into my life to clarify what this feeling was all about, and ultimately the amazing adventure I was about to embark on.

Getting out of your comfort zone is ultimately about embracing uncertainty. Innovating, recognizing disruptions before they wreak havoc requires some comfort with uncertainty. Why is uncertainty so uncomfortable? Why do we work so hard to eliminate it if that's where growth lies? What would happen if we allowed more uncertainty into our work places or our lives? More importantly, how can you become more comfortable with uncertainty regardless of your level of intolerance for uncertainty? Listen in for solutions and actions as well as a lively conversation.

This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates ''Before Psychology''- the Secret Source that exponentially increases the peace, performance, and potential for any individual or organisation.   Unlocking Transformative Insights from Everyday Annoyances   In this episode of the Quality of Mind Transforming Business podcast, Piers and returning guest Kate delve into the profound lessons hidden within our everyday annoyances. Through engaging and relatable examples, the conversation reveals how our reactions to others can shine a light on deeper personal conditioning and programming. Discover how self-inquiry and identifying with awareness rather than the 'self' can lead to transformative shifts in perception, ultimately enhancing relationships and promoting a richer, more compassionate understanding of oneself and others. They also discuss the magic of the system and how we often miss the opportunity to see how others' actions are just learning experiences.   This Episode:  00:00 Welcome and Introduction  02:34 The Power of 'Before Psychology' 04:26 Understanding Annoyance and Judgment 07:27 Real-Life Examples of Judgment 17:42 The Concept of 'I' and Self-Inquiry 22:29 Exploring the Concept of 'I' 23:56 Understanding Annoyance and Self-Identification 26:03 The Intelligent Design of Annoyance 28:34 Seeing Through Misidentification 33:05 Leaning into Discomfort for Growth 36:32 Curiousity and Compassion in Relationships   Curious - want to know more?

You are the presenter, and the initiator and alchemist of the energy in the room.   *BOOK COACHING:* https://shop.beacons.ai/niu.views/EnergyCoachingwithArielNiu  Improve your social presence, delivery, interactions and influences on others.   *Study Notes* - Break the fourth wall with the audience before the presentation (casual chitchat). - Have a confident base that is sustainable - honed authenticity with nonchalance. - Honed authenticity = 'being real with a secret' kind of energy. - Nonchalance = I am aware of it all and it's always all good. - It's ok to ask for context, we need context to give thorough, useful responses. E.g. 'Interesting, tell me more about x' 'I think what you are trying to say is this, am I following correctly?' 'Give me more details on this aspect' - Approach unexpected questions with curiousity, see them as opportunities. - Hone in on the individual asking the question, treat it like a conversation. - Approach follow-ups with confidence and excitement if necessary. E.g. 'I'm excited to add this to my research, I'll have it as a point in our follow-up email.' - Avoid inferiority (shame/victimizing) or superiority (masking confidence) with mistakes, I like to admit to it in the moment with nonchalance and get right back into it. E.g. 'Ok, I just made up that word, what I meant is this :)' - Catch the initial anxiety, breathe and relax into lightness and nonchalance. - Curiousity translates into confidence, which translates into the ability to connect the dots. - It's within our control whether we approach unexpected moments with anxiety/shame/rigidness or curiousity/nonchalance/lightness, and that energy will be felt by all.   0:00 Introduction + Examples 0:33 Prepare a Confident Base 2:01 Observe your Audience 5:15 Unexpected Questions 7:29 Unresolved Questions 9:22 Mess-ups 9:53 Your Presence + Reactions 11:20 Power of Curiousity 14:35 More Resources   *CONNECT:* Book Coaching - https://shop.beacons.ai/niu.views/EnergyCoachingwithArielNiu Get an Energy Reading - https://shop.beacons.ai/niu.views/energyreadingfromarielniu WORKPLACE BOUNDARIES SCRIPTS drops APRIL 2024 - https://beacons.ai/niu.views/email Livestream Replays - https://shop.arielniuviews.com/pages/memberships Instagram (join my channel) - https://www.instagram.com/niu.views TikTok (join my lives) - https://www.tiktok.com/@niu.views Partnerships/Inquiries - arielniu@viralnationtalent.com   *ABOUT:* My name is Ariel Niu, I create content on social dynamics and human interactions.

Your story and others' stories of redemption are playing through in our current reality and we need to find a way to add voices to the narrative of questions, of symbolism, and of action. This episode was moderated by TBA Rabbinic Intern Ben Sigal on Zoom, Monday, April 4, 2024. www.tbala.org Special Guest: Ben Sigal.

In a world constantly shouting about self-worth and empowerment, the concept of embracing unworthiness might seem counterintuitive, even taboo. Yet, in this episode, we dive deep into the shadows of unworthiness, exploring why sometimes, to truly understand and believe in our worth, we first need to let in those feelings of unworthiness. The journey to self-worth is often portrayed as a straight path to believing in our inherent value. But what if the road less traveled, the one that invites us to confront and embrace our feelings of unworthiness, is actually the path to profound healing and genuine self-acceptance?   We unravel the complexities of unworthiness, discussing how our unconscious mind shields us from these feelings and why facing them head-on can be transformative. It's about more than just acknowledging these shadows; it's about welcoming them with open arms, understanding their origins, and recognizing how they've shaped our behaviors and beliefs. By embracing our unworthiness, we're not giving in to it; we're taking the first courageous step towards dismantling the shame and fear that keep these feelings hidden. We'll explore how unworthiness, left unaddressed, can fester into harmful patterns, impacting our lives in ways we might not even realize. You'll learn why letting unworthiness in is a crucial step in letting it go, and how this approach can lead to a more authentic, empowered life. Embrace the courage within and discover the transformative power of facing your unworthiness head-on.

Many people tend to believe that professional success is measured by the amount of money in their bank account and that the harder they work the more successful they'll become, but what happens when that type of “hustle harder” mentality leaves you burned out and disenchanted?  This week's guest suggests there is an alternative that offers a balance between hard work and success.  Today we speak to Matt LeBris on the topic of “Mindful Hustling.”  Matt suggests, through his own experiences, that he's learned over the years, how to apply mindfulness to his natural mentality to hustle for what he wants and how the challenges he was facing five years ago personally, pursuing therapy for the first time, as well as the launch of his podcast were catalysts for his own transformational shift.   Work with Danielle: If you are ready to start working with a life coach or just want to learn more about the impact that coaching can have in your life, visit Danielle's website at www.daniellemccombs.com and schedule a complimentary exploratory session.  Work with Kristy: You can work with Kristy one-on-one or hire her to speak with your team to improve workplace communication.
