How do you create while dealing with depression, grief, addiction, anxiety, or other mental health issues? When trying to create and stay well feels like walking through a labyrinth, how to do you find your way? My favorite story about finding your way is the Labyrinth of Minos in Greek mythology.

Society is rising. Changing. Moving. Join us as we navigate the insanity, cast aside the crap, and maintain a firm grasp on reality. The world is ablaze. Fire can refine or destroy. Sometimes both are part of the process of creating something beautiful. Ideas are the fire; our tools and weapons. Wield them wisely. Command them carefully. Walk courageously as a lion, be cunning as a snake, fierce as a wolf, and tender as a lamb.

Do you ever feel like you have this nagging voice that tells you that you are not enough or that there isn't enough in the world today? Well, you are not alone. I wanted to create a podcast that explores this very idea of fear and scarcity. It dominates our lives, yet rarely is talked about. It is a lens that convinces us that we are all alone, cut off, separate from everyone and everything. When just the opposite is true. My hope is that this podcast will be a heartfelt, honest, and playful ...
