    When Everything's about to Change featuring artist Sam Tucker

    When Everything's about to Change featuring artist Sam Tucker

    I am so excited to move forward with a vision I have had for a long time: a video version of the Creative Living with Jamie Podcast. It's a work in progress and there's a lot to learn but it is such a joy to make a start. Here's the very first episode, which features an interview with artist Sam Tucker, who uses words and images to tell the stories of her life.
    About Sam Tucker
    Sam Tucker is a storyteller in words and images.  She is currently immersed in a long-term project, an illustrated memoir and storybook chronicling her journey through the grief of losing her partner while wandering the country on an epic road trip.
    For years, Sam kept her creative dreams hidden in the shadows of her vibrant business consulting practice.  The journey to embracing her artistry, the essence of who she is, was a long and meaningful one that included journaling, visual journaling, book binding, collage and various forms of writing.
    The turning point for Sam, that point where she finally stepped in and claimed her artistry was nearly two years ago.  Sam was part of the initial offering of the artist residency program, Devotion with Jamie Ridler.  That was a game changer!  Today, Sam divides her time between traveling the U.S. and finishing her memoir, Lost in Bentonia.
    Connect with Sam at her website www.sam-tucker.com
    BONUS CONTENT: I've put together a PDF of the transcripts in a  magazine style. It even includes a little creative assignment for you to keep the inspiration going and the creativity flowing. Come to Jamie Ridler Studios to download

These are just a few of the questions answered by an inspiring panel of creative artists, all of whom are graduates of my program, Devotion.

Alma Liisa ,

An endless resource of inspiration, encouragement and community for creatives

I have been a listener of Creative Living with Jamie for years now, and beyond listening to the freshly airing episode every Tuesday, I have listened to every single past episode of the show posted on iTunes and in the archives of jamieridlerstudios.ca.
Every. Single. One.
No exaggeration.
Most more than twice.
That in itself speaks of how highly I rate this podcast.

The podcast has been a lifeline for me at a time when I have been going through a remodeling of my life, putting my creativity front and center where it deserves to be.
In each and every episode I have found golden nuggets of inspiration, connection to kindred spirits and priceless encouragement from Jamie and her guest that has helped me to keep on keeping on with my creative work and the building of my creative life.

Through each week's heartfelt conversations I am reminded that I am not alone, that my work has value in the world and that creativity is a precious gift to be cherished.
As a host and interviewer, Jamie is truly, uniquely talented.
She both listens and speaks with love that can be felt through the airwaves, and asks just the right questions, always taking the conversation beyond just the surface level.
(An added bonus and something I as a musician truly appreciate, is that Jamie’s voice is SO beautiful and pleasant to listen to.)

This podcast is a true gem.
It is a weekly piece of inspiration that supports and nurtures my creative heart, mind, body and soul, expands my creative vistas and connects me to a powerful creative community that I might have never found otherwise.
