Fostering Intimacy in Online Communities

Welcome back to Honing In and to my interview with Michelle Pellizzon.

Michelle Pellizzon is a writer, researcher, and intuitive business advisor. Her work spans mediums — podcasting, publishing, teaching — and often explores the liminal space between mysticism and pragmatism. A former professional modern dancer and Feldenkrais practitioner with a background in tech, she blends somatic expertise with creative entrepreneurship.

Here are some of the things Michelle and I discuss:

• Seasons of learning and metabolizing ideas
• How Michelle built and curates an intentional online community for creatives
• Practicing new skills and finding the fun in being bad at something
• Moving with self-awareness through the Feldenkrais Method
• Honing in on what it means to have ruthless clarity and agency
