Have you ever had a transcendent creative experience but then when you finally brought your work out into the world…  it felt like a bit of a letdown? In todays episode, we're talking through how to come back down the mountain of our creative highs and release our work into the world in a meaningful way. Yep, we're talking marketing, and as it turns out… it's not such a dirty word after all!    Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM   This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne

Joel speaks to Chelsea McGough - a cellist, composer, and producer based in Nashville, who's compositions have been featured in films, television, social media and ad campaigns in the U.S. and abroad.  In this conversation, Chelsea talks through losing her love for music and how she found her way back again, finally landing in a place that felt more like home.  Chelsea and Joel recently performed together at Story Festival in the US, and off the back of that went on to record a fully improvised contemplative meditation album together, while living on opposite sides of the world. Chelsea and Joel discuss the creative process of bringing this album together and experiencing the magical “pixie dust” moments that can happen when we let go of perfectionism, and embrace the vulnerability of creating in the flow. The album FLOW - An Improvised Poetic Meditation is out everywhere now.  ---- The music used throughout this episode is from Chelsea McGough's various collaborations: Chelseamcgough.com Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne

If you've ever felt the pull towards two different directions within yourself or that life is just too short or not big enough to allow all the parts of you to thrive, then this just might be the episode for you. This week on the podcast, Joel speaks to singer, songwriter and musician from Melbourne band The Gentling - Emma Wyndham Chalmers. Emma shares about her relationship with creativity, and how this has changed over time as she made peace with the two “voices in her head” - or different parts of her character, that felt like they were pulling her in different directions. It's a fascinating conversation that delves into the inner landscape of our lives, and we discover that perhaps when we spend time nurturing and listening to and reconciling the different parts of ourselves, that they actually have a fair bit to teach us.  The Gentling have just released their new EP, “Running at the Dark” and their music is featured throughout this episode.   The Gentling: https://linktr.ee/thegentling   Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM   This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne

In this episode, we've come finally to the place we've been journeying towards all along… The Innermost Cave. The Centre of everything. The place where we meet ourselves and humanity and God and where all creativity flows out of.  Joel gets pretty philosophical as he invites us beyond the Deep Place (our individual inner-self) to the DEEP DEEP (where our inner-selves connect with the inner reality of all things). We find that at the centre of everything is both our deep longing for and fear of connection, and all the ways we can get lost or blocked from accessing the wonder of this place. And we learn to see ourselves with compassion and love as we are broken open and filled up again and held here.    Music: The piano music used in Joel's story is from David Andrew - The Kitchen Tapes Other music licensed via Audiio.com   Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne  

Well, you've have arrived. You made it to the City Of Success and it feels glorious! …or does it? Is something missing?What is success anyway, and now that you are here, what does it look like to live authentically and genuinely in this life and still be able to give yourself to things that make you feel wonderful?    In this episode, we're building a house. YOUR house, in the City of Success. Not a mansion but a home. A refuge to dwell in and create in and welcome others into.    Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne

This week, we're talking TRIBE.    The Creative Journey was never meant to be walked alone. Like it or not - we NEED other people. So, in this episode, we name some of the different kinds of people that might intersect our paths along the way, and what this could look like as a movement towards community and belonging.    Joel challenges us to truly see people and to live with the kind of empathy that allows us to be affected - that through being present to the real stories of others, we become changed. Or perhaps, even saved.    Show notes Books:  Gail Carriger - The Heroins Journey Pip Williams - The Dictionary of Lost Words  Oliver Jeffers - Lost & Found  Joel McKerrow - Woven  Colum McCann - Letters to a Young Writer    Music: The piano music in this episode is from David Andrew - The Kitchen Tapes Other music licensed via Audiio.com   Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM   This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne  

In this final episode for the year, we hear from Ingrid Laguna - an award winning novelist and educator, having published a memoir and multiple childrens books. In this conversation she opens up about her love affair with creativity in all the ways it shows up for her. She talks through collaboration & building trust, to her writing process, to the terrifying joy of discovering improv theatre, how creativity has helped her process unimaginable loss and make friends with risk and failure, and so much more, giving us a glimpse into a wonder-full and deeply rich life where creativity and curiosity lead the way. This episode comes with a trigger warning as Ingrid briefly talks about the death of two babies. There is also some mild coarse language.   Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne   Season 3 continues in 2023...

When was the last time you did not have to succeed? When was the last time you did not feel guilty for doing nothing? When did you last think about why you started this creative journey in the first place? In this episode, hosted by Joel McKerrow - we enter into sanctuary; a time of slowing down, of looking inward, of remembering and reflecting and of play, without any agenda. This is indeed, the deep place, the well from which we draw our creativity out of.   Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne  

In this episode, Joel interviews author and Words and Nerds podcast host Dani Vee who gives us the inside view of what it's like to live with anxiety and a wildly creative mind.

As humans, almost all of us have woken up at some point in our lives feeling lost and aimless, unsure of which path to take or where the path even is. And for many of us - and especially in our creative lives - the temptation to just give up at this point is real. In this episode, we find ourselves lost in the forest and Joel McKerrow shares five key tools for getting back on track and what this lostness might have to teach us along the way. Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM. This podcast is hosted by Joel McKerrow & Produced by Richelle Bourne.

In this episode we have begun the Creative Journey. We face into the wild unknown and the foreboding blankness of the empty page and take a few tentative steps forward. Perhaps feeling like an imposter in this strange new landscape and longing for the comfort of home, and yet here we find ourselves. Joel McKerrow talks us through how we begin our journey, how we move forward and who to look to for guidance along the way.   Show notes: The books referenced in this episode are: The Creative Habit, by Twyla Tharp, Bird by Bird by Ann Lamott and The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams.   Our sponsors are The Practice Co. and ACOM.

"It's always difficult to avoid charges of being nostalgic if we talk about going back to things. Back to the past or forward to the past, but there are principles that existed in preindustrial/early industrial cities and which were overturned by key technological inventions of the late 19th and early 20th century, particularly the railway, the motorcar, of course, the internal combustion engine on which it's based and which led to the vast expansion of towns and cities and, crucially, suburbanization where people who could afford it moved out of the more polluted densely populated inner areas into low density, better lifestyle-oriented suburbs and even beyond the suburbs into surrounding rural areas and were able to commute in by fast means to their workplace in the city, but the result of that is what we now face as the challenge of unsustainability. And as you rightly say, the key feature that still characterizes many European cities today–London, Paris, Berlin, many others, is the idea that they are composed ultimately of a series of–in London they like to call them villages–neighborhoods and areas that have multiple land uses and dense social networks of interaction within a small area. That principle, what is now called by Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, and being popularized more widely by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Network and others as the 15 or 20 Minute City or 15 or 20 Minute Neighbourhood. The idea underpinning it is that a higher proportion of the goods and services, the activities, the social interactions that we need are obtainable within a 1 1/2 to 2 km radius of one's home, which means a far higher proportion of one's individual trips or multiple purpose journeys can be done on foot and by bicycle, therefore, you use your vehicle if you have one more sparingly. You use the bus or minibusses to reach slightly more distant places, and then you have transport interchanges is where you connect with the metro system or the best rapid transit or the railway to reach other parts of large cities or indeed for inner-city journeys. And that is what is now becoming the new best practice in terms of urban planning redesign both of existing urban areas to try to revitalize inner-city areas, other areas that are depressed and in need of economic regeneration and principles on the basis of which we need to design new areas, whether they are on the outskirts of bigger cities or in the context of middle and low-income countries designing entirely new cities which are going to be built over the coming 20 or 30 years and which, in terms of the number of people who live in them and the number of hectares or square kilometers that they will cover of the earth's surface, will be equivalent to that built between the beginning of urbanization and the present day. It's a staggering thought, but if you think about it that way, the importance of new build, new design, according to our latest understanding of sound sustainability principles."David Simon is Professor of Development Geography and Director for External Engagement in the School of Life Sciences and the Environment, Royal Holloway, University of London.

And that is what is now becoming the new best practice in terms of urban planning redesign both of existing urban areas to try to revitalize inner-city areas, other areas that are depressed and in need of economic regeneration and principles on the basis of which we need to design new areas, whether they are on the outskirts of bigger cities or in the context of middle and low-income countries designing entirely new cities which are going to be built over the coming 20 or 30 years and which, in terms of the number of people who live in them and the number of hectares or square kilometers that they will cover of the earth's surface, will be equivalent to that built between the beginning of urbanization and the present day. It's a staggering thought, but if you think about it that way, the importance of new build, new design, according to our latest understanding of sound sustainability principles."David Simon is Professor of Development Geography and Director for External Engagement in the School of Life Sciences and the Environment, Royal Holloway, University of London.

“It's always difficult to avoid charges of being nostalgic if we talk about going back to things. Back to the past or forward to the past, but there are principles that existed in preindustrial/early industrial cities and which were overturned by key technological inventions of the late 19th and early 20th century, particularly the railway, the motorcar, of course, the internal combustion engine on which it's based and which led to the vast expansion of towns and cities and, crucially, suburbanization where people who could afford it moved out of the more polluted densely populated inner areas into low density, better lifestyle-oriented suburbs and even beyond the suburbs into surrounding rural areas and were able to commute in by fast means to their workplace in the city, but the result of that is what we now face as the challenge of unsustainability. And as you rightly say, the key feature that still characterizes many European cities today–London, Paris, Berlin, many others, is the idea that they are composed ultimately of a series of–in London they like to call them villages–neighborhoods and areas that have multiple land uses and dense social networks of interaction within a small area.

Liz Milani is a writer and seeker who runs The Practice Co app and Instagram, and joins me this week to talk about daily spiritual practices that are authentic to our self of sense. We talked about leaving church when our bodies break down, deconstructing and reconfiguring our faith, and reconnecting to our bodies and a more holistic, sustainable spirituality. Liz and her husband Jesse were formerly pastors at a megachurch in Australia—we have loads in common, this was a really refreshing discussion for me personally, and there's loads of hope and practical wisdom in here for anyone wrestling with God, church and their sense of self.Download The Practice Co app for iOS or Android.Learn more at thepracticeco.comFollow The Practice Co on Instagram.Follow Liz on Instagram.Supporter the show and my other work, at jonathanpuddle.com/supportOrder my trauma-informed 30-day devotional, You Are Enough: Learning to Love Yourself the Way God Loves You.Find every book or resource I've talked about recently on my Amazon storefront, in Canada, the United States or the United Kingdom.

On my recent podcast with Gabby Bernstein (who is proudly and publicly sober and has been for years) I shared that I, too, am sober. For over 5 years. Since then, I have been receiving tons of emails asking me to dedicate a podcast to the topic, and today I decided to do so. I am further inspired to share, as I am concerned that this time of quarantine may leave more and more people susceptible to the allure of drowning their feelings and fears in substances, and I want to bring connection to this potential reality. I hope that my story can invite many of you to feel less alone. We do not have to live in the grips of alcohol, or any other substance, should we awaken to our choice not to. Also today I announce my LIVE REAL TIME HEAL EXPERIENCE ON INSTAGRAM with Liz Melani of @thepracticeco. On May 19th at 5:30pm EDT I will go LIVE on @thepracticeco profile on Instagram and do a totally unscripted therapy session with Liz about her story and her chronic pain. Similar to all the REAL TIME HEALS, this will be totally raw and fresh, but in addition it will be LIVE. Come join us. Follow me on instagram @nicolesachslcsw and The Practice Co @thepracticeco and experience this first ever moment.
