Improvisation & How to Quiet Your "Loop of Doom"
Ever been caught in a "Loop of Doom" constantly spinning through what-if scenarios...
...but then something wacky or random happens and the looping immediately stops? YEP, me too.
This month in The School of Bravery we're focusing on that exact bravery ingredient: Improvisation. The strong skill of improvisation can help soothe Loops of Doom and possibly quiet them altogether!
The stronger our improvisation skills are, the more confident we can feel while doing something brave. Your improvis…
2020: The Highs & Lows (aka Your Invitation to a Better 2021)
I don't know about you, but 2020 can go take a long walk off a short pier.
The backstory... 2020 started with my attempts to distract myself from feeling dangerously raw and vulnerable. The previous year felt like a rollercoaster and I was losing trust in the world, life, people...
My mom's emergency brain surgery, glioblastoma brain cancer diagnosis, watching her learn to walk, eat, do radiation, chemo... Travel from TN to CO to TN to WY to CO to WY to TN to almost immediately leaping into 45…
How to Have a Vision of Possibility for 2020 (Plus New Co-host, Danielle Hope Diamond!)
We have such an exciting episode for you today! To coincide with last month's bravery ingredient of Vision of Possibility, I wanted to introduce you to someone very special: Danielle Hope Diamond
Danielle reached out to me to potentially become a guest expert of The School of Bravery and get interviewed on the podcast. However, after getting to know her very briefly, it became clear that she should be much more than just a one-time guest on our little podcast.
Danielle is our new podcast co-ho…
ps041: Post-Bravery Brain Mush & Book Excitement
Last week we released my book "Bare Naked Bravery: How to Be Creatively Courageous" into the world and it was a smashing success! Yay! However, last week turned my brain to absolute mush, which is normal for what happens to your body after you do something brave (like publishing a book, throwing a concert, appearing on television - all of which I did last week!)
Take a listen to hear all about it!
If you haven't yet, purchase your copy of the book here.

ps007: The Voices of The 2017 Women's March - Part 2
If you've been following my latest journey via email or Instagram, you'll know that am not in the Pacific Northwest, like I have been for the past 10 years. I am currently in Atlanta, GA on a several month-long sabbatical. I'm here taking care of my grandfather, spending time with my Southern branch of family, and finishing up my long-awaited and upcoming book and album.
This is why on Saturday, January 21st I found myself walking the streets of Downtown Atlanta with about 63,000 other people.…

ps004: Big Announcements & How to Make Them
When you've got a huge announcement, how do you go about making it?
Who do you tell first? What role does privacy and intimacy play in this decision? Is it like throwing spaghetti and seeing what sticks? or more like passing notes in class?
I've got a big announcement to make (you'll hear it below.) There will be more details revealed as time unfolds, but for now these issues of intimacy, privacy, and over-exposure are top of my mind...
