178: My Creativity Process & Making Time to Write a Book with Liz Kimball

The Cosmic Business Podcast

I am excited to bring you this episode, which has been a long time coming. The tables are turned on me today as my coach, Liz Kimball, interviews me about my creative process, which requires vulnerability. I’m being open and candid about making space this summer to write my book. You’ll hear how I moved through blocks, made space to write, and developed a feminine perspective on business and creativity that is essential to mental health and success. I hope you enjoy this conversation!
