Saw her YouTube videos yesterday about finding The Artist's Way - IN THE GARBAGE, while walking down the street. Imagine if she hadn't been noticing or picked it up. The serendipity, action and choice to do the work is magical brilliance.

I love the lifelong learning perspective. Helps me stay motivated to practice and learn, fostering a growth mindset. I recently heard someone say about the early days of becoming a comedian, that they were like a gym rat, getting the reps in day in and day out, being on stage, working on their craft, they really needed those early years of practicing, allowed to make mistakes. I love this perspective.

I first saw Doechii on Colbert and straight up got chills….knew she was a creative force instantly. Fully agree: overthinking kills the spark. Let go, do the work, and trust the weird.

Thank you for sharing! I love "Denial is a River" and clearly it resonates because she was creating something from within her, not for others.
