The Truth about Lying + How to Microdose Honesty & Directness

This week's episode is a creative check-in where I talk about an epiphany I had at the Farmer's Market. No, not the one about tomatoes being fruit... the one about how we treat lying as a humble transaction. Do you have trouble being direct? Are you afraid of hurting other people’s feelings or your own feelings getting hurt when you say how you feel? Do you find yourself constantly holding from sharing your truth? If this sounds like you, I think today’s episode might help! We're taught to spread white lies in order to create good human connection. But what if we're not giving people enough credit? What if the real human connection comes out of authenticity and honesty, even if the truth doesn't sound as pleasant? Today we explore how honesty sets you AND everyone around you free. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unleashyourinnercreative/messageHosted by Ausha.

The Lessons of Tragedy

Today's episode is a tough one. Over the weekend, someone very special to me died suddenly and tragically in a hit and run accident. His name was Mat George. He was the co-host of She Rates Dogs: The Podcast, which I executive produce. He was also a friend and one of the most special, talented, hilarious and kind human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and producing. Today I share a little about him and about how I am processing the loss and shock. I go through the interesting effect that tragedy can have on your perspective and how it is profoundly altering mine. Ultimately, this episode is about paying tribute to a person who was universally loved and who I adored. It's profoundly rare to meet someone as pure of heart as him ever...Let alone in entertainment. I feel blessed to have known him and his light will be deeply missed. Love you, Mat.
