“What’s this podcast all about? Who’s it for?”
I’m sure those are some of the questions you have.
In this debut episode, I talk about my origin story a bit: the family and community members that influenced my growing-up years in Appalachian Kentucky, the artistic journey that brought me where I am today, the ups and downs of being a self-employed performer, and how my art informs my activism.
It can be overwhelming to look at all the problems in the world, and it’s easy to feel powerless. But I believe that we can inspire each other to use our voices and talents to make the world a better place, which is what this podcast is all about. I’m showing up to help you connect with your own source of creativity and keep you inspired to live your most juicy, authentic, and fulfilled life.
Oh, and you’ll want to listen until the end, when I share for the first time how a COLOSSAL disappointment was one of my biggest creative catalysts to date, and how it ironically helped me believe in myself like never before!
So, raise a glass with me and toast the beginning of the What Dreamers Do Podcast! Let’s jump right in!
