Podcasts about how far you have come

When I spoke to Morgan Harper Nichols, she was taking a break from assignment-writing for the MFA in Interdisciplinary Media Arts she's studying. That's a telling detail for this exuberant soul: she has ideas and energy to spare, and she's always learning, always reaching towards new forms. A visual artist, writer, musician, speaker and podcaster, I always see her as a communicator first and foremost. She draws on all these different modes of expression to facilitate the sheer urgency of what she has to say. In this episode, I talk with Morgan about the ways that her work ushers us towards a kind of reenchantment with life itself - but, in all honesty, I quickly lost control of the whole interview. Like me, Morgan is autistic, and I got lost in the joy of spending an hour in her thoughtful, inquisitive company. This is a conversation about how we see our work and the world around us, and how creativity helps us to connect. Morgan Harper Nichols is an autistic mixed media artist from the Atlanta, Georgia area who has worked with brands such as Google, Starbucks, Hallmark, COACH, KIND bar, and her work has been featured in places such as Target, Anthropologie, Kohls, Barnes & Noble, among others. She is the author of books that combine words and vibrant images, including You Are Only Just Beginning, How Far You Have Come, All Along You Were Blooming, and Peace is a Practice. She is also the creator of the Storyteller app, and her podcast, The Morgan Harper Nichols Show.

About our guest: Morgan Harper Nichols is an artist, poet, and musician who finds inspiration in the stories and conversations of everyday life. After starting her career as a college admission counselor she shifted into freelance music, and between performances, she designed art and turned songs into poetry. Before long one of those poems went viral on Pinterest, and just a few years later she became a Wall Street Journal bestseller with an Instagram following of nearly 2 million.  She focuses on art that tells a story, and she uses her gift as a way of connecting herself and other people to a shared emotion. She has authored six books, she has her own website, an online shop, and blog, her own podcast, her own Youtube channel, and an app called Storyteller, where she posts inspirational words and art every day.

Famed artist and Instagram favorite @morganharpernichols goes deep with Catt about recently discovering she is Autistic. How her diagnosis has helped her find language for her struggles, but also how the revelation enhances her body of work. Both Catt and Morgan talk about acting with courage and using vulnerability as a strength. Ever wanted to really live in the present but don't know how? They'll walk you through it.  MHN also shares her experience with pay discrimination.  After consistently being paid less as a musician than the men in her circle,  she began writing about her grief. Out of this pain her new career was born and now she's developing her other artistic talents on her own terms. Also, make sure to check out Morgan's new book, “How Far You Have Come.” Available wherever books are sold.    @iamcattsadler @morganharpernichols @abdwithcatt Produced by Dear Media.

If you follow a Christian woman between the ages of 20 and 40 on Instagram, then you’ve 1000% seen Morgan’s work. She does these beautiful, inspiring, super shareable quotes and thoughts over wonderful artwork and once they get to the internet they just go EVERYWHERE. I remember seeing Morgan play music once or twice when one of her previous careers overlapped with my orbit. But who would have thought that she’d one day call herself a POET and be doing what she’s doing now, running her own business with the books, journals, stickers, and who knows what else that flows from her current creativity. She’s got a new book that comes out next week called “How Far You Have Come” and I loved hearing the story of how this book came about. In fact, I loved our whole interview. I started this whole podcast because I was hearing a lot of stories of people’s big successes, but I was in the midst of my own personal failure, and I desperately needed to hear that my story wasn’t over. Her story is so inspiring because, while what she’s doing now is doing quite well, it’s a really human tale with a lot of wandering, failure, fear, questions and the tenacity of just NEEDING to keep trying until something works. I’m so glad it did. You can get Morgan’s new book, as well as the stickers and a bunch of other amazing things, plus her 4-minute daily podcast, at MorganHarperNichols.com Follow her on Instagram!

How do you find your own creative voice? What if you're interested in lots of things instead of just a few things? How do you create art that is meaningful for people both inside and outside of your belief system? These are questions I wanted to explore with Morgan Harper Nichols, who makes beautiful art in real life and also on instagram, where nearly 2 million people follow her work! Morgan also shares about her recent autism diagnosis, and how that may have played a part in her creative journey.

In this episode, I chat with the wonderful Morgan Harper Nichols. Morgan is an artist, poet and musician. Her process for creating work is really unique and amazing. People submit their stories to her and she creates artwork for those individuals, and then shares those pieces daily on her social channels. Although each piece is created for one person, they deeply resonate with the larger collective as well. So much so, that Morgan currently has 1.7 million followers on Instagram. And honestly it isn't surprising, her presence feels like a breath of fresh air in a world that can often feel so overwhelming. Morgan shares her journey from being a musician first to becoming a visual artist, and the winding road she had to navigate to get here. We dive into the topic of “growing”, both in our personal and professional lives. Growth is a theme Morgan often explores in her work, and she has a really wonderful perspective on the topic that I hadn't considered going into the interview. Morgan also has a beautiful new book coming out on April 27th titled How Far You Have Come. Be sure to check it out, and if you aren't already, follow Morgan on instagram here, or find her online at morganharpernichols.com

Newsflash: if you're not curious about the people you're talking to, if you're not curious to befriend and get to know others, then you're missing out on some incredible connections that can make your life even more rich. It's hard to believe that Morgan Harper Nichols, the viral Instagram poet and artist, battled self-doubt. But Morgan reveals that when she began to take the pressure off herself as an introvert, and when she began to get curious and started connecting with people one on one and learning their stories, she began to unlock her creativity. And today, Morgan tells the stories she's learned about from those new connections in her beautiful art, and through her two books, All Along You Were Blooming and her brand-new one, How Far You Have Come. Morgan and Nancy talk about how to set fear aside and become more open and vulnerable, how to hit hard topics head on, and why embracing curiosity as we talk to other people can not only make us better communicators—it can create a world filled with more love and empathy. * * * Shrug off toxic expectations and limitations, and step into joy, purpose, and direction.
