CREATIVE MATTERS: (The Creative Highs & Real Life Lows, Of A Dream Chasing, Creative Soul) Podcast

Part audio diary...part reality series, CREATIVE MATTERS follows the day to day struggles of a multi-skilled, but wildly unsuccessful creative soul, as I try to find the will, to continue pursuing my simple, life-long dream of becoming a full time creative professional. Along the way, I hope to encourage & help other creatives, to keep going on their own journey, by simply sharing my own personal story.

    AUDIO DIARY 6: Sobb Story (part 1)

    This episode is a little all over the place BUT everything is all connected. By sharing my experience and feelings around a recent breakup / relationship, my challenges with maintaining my son's regular visits, and my current living situation, we finally get a really DEEP look at the 360 degree effects of what being a lifelong creative can mean. Stay tuned for the not necessarily exciting, but definitely insightful conclusion in part 2 (coming soon).

    AUDIO DIARY 5: Pushing Through For The Win!

    A long winded diary recording at the end of a equally long & tiring day, that starts slow and ends strong! Overall it's a valuable & visceral update on the challenges I'm facing with the many creative projects that I currently have on the go.

    PHONE TAP 4: Don't Wait, Until It's Too Late

    AUDIO DIARY 4: Why So Serious?

    This is the 1st episode that I actually pre-planned what I wanted to discuss. In light of recent feedback from a listener, I decided to address the issue of why I chose to be so painfully transparent with expressing my emotions and the details of my life on Creative Matters podcast. Hopefully this will clarify why some episodes are "so serious"...and simultaneously make listening a little more rewarding for everyone :)

    AUDIO DIARY 3: The Day Job Dilemma (part 1)

    It's a tale as old as time...a creative soul feeling trapped in a "soul sucking" day job. In this episode we confront this all too common situation head on, as I try to fight through some serious feelings of anxiety & fear, on the first day of training for yet, another monotonous day job that doesn't work for me.

    PHONE TAP 2: Etsy VS. Instagram

    In this completely casual and unplanned episode, we get an introduction to another frequent collaborator in my creative world...my friend and artist Robb Clarke.

    PHONE TAP 1: You Are Not Alone

    In this episode we continue our journey of healing & discovery by listening in on a phone conversation (between me & my real life brother CDH Live), as we discuss the motivation for doing the Creative Matters podcast. We also talk a little bit about our creative background (the few successes & many failures alike) that have led us to this point of wanting to help other creatives, to keep going on their own journey, by sharing our own personal story.

    AUDIO DIARY 1: The Set Up

    If Creative Matters was a movie, this episode would be the opening scene where the audience is dropped right into the middle of the story without any explanation of what is happening. As the scene unfolds, we will slowly be introduced to the main character, the setting of the story, the potential conflicts & drama that will be addressed etc. This is the quiet set up, for what I hope will be an insightful, meaningful and empowering journey of healing for both me, and anyone listening who has ever struggled with trying to hold on to your dreams, while dealing with the real life problems and deeply emotional pains of pursuing a full time creative life.
