Living the Dream with Curveball

I had a lovely conversation with Curtis and appreciate being in invited to talk about how creativity can support healing .

Curtis, also known as Curveball was a great host with thoughtful and inspiring questions that made for a great conversation. Highly recommend his podcast for its diversity and thought provoking episodes.

I appreciated the opportunity to be a guest on Living the Dream, with Curveball, but the experience fell short of what I had hoped for. The conversation felt more like the host was moving through a pre-written list of questions than actively listening to the answers. Several times, I had the sense that my responses were not being followed up on or explored, and the discussion simply moved on to the next question. It also did not appear that the host had read my book before the interview, which made it difficult to have a deeper or more meaningful conversation about the work. As the guest, I felt I had to carry much of the direction and substance of the episode. I respect the effort it takes to produce a podcast, but a stronger interview would have come from more preparation, more active listening, and more engagement with the guest’s actual answers.

Curtis asked great questions and threw me some "curveballs" to answer!
