My Creative Life for Artists and Creators Nancy Miller

Hi, Everyone, this is Nancy So Miller with My Creative Life. I've been contemplating the whole work-life balance. It's been a challenge, and I decided to talk about how a schedule has helped me stay on track with what I've been working on with my book project, teaching, and family. I've decided to air episodes once every two weeks to keep things going on the podcast. It's not a perfect solution, but it's all a work in progress.



Thanks for listening!

Hi Everyone! This season, I interviewed quite a few authors, and I noticed there was a feeling of confidence about the work that they created. I wanted to discuss the importance of confidence and trust in your abilities and how it can help you reach your goals.
