It might surprise you that an artist’s best work does not always turn out the way they planned. Opening yourself up to uncertainty can elicit unexpected and wonderful results. And while we may not all consider ourselves artists in the traditional sense, everyone is a creator in one way or another. Join me in my conversation with multidisciplinary artist Kylin O’Brien as we discuss the how comfort with uncertainty, creation, and clearing your space all leave room for what serves us best at this point in our lives.

How we can all approach life as creators
