Hello dear listeners.
Join me today while I share some thoughts about my real life challenges as I heal my gut and how I got through some of my lowest points.
And if you ever need someone to talk to or support you through your own lows please find me here and I'll do whatever I can to help you because YOU matter!
It's time to talk about that scale... you know, the one that's in your bathroom or closet? Maybe gathering dust? I know this conversation is hard, and I've had it with myself countless times over the years, but rather than throw it out or ignore it, I chose to learn something from it.
Join me today as I share the ups and downs (literally) in my journey of acceptance with the most unlikely of devices...
Do you get caught in your own trap of worrying too much?
Join me as I share some personal stories where I'm reminded of the old adage: "You shouldn't worry about the things you can't control".
As well as exploring some of the things that happen to our minds, bodies, and spirits when we worry too much,
Hello again, dear listener, here is my last, loving reminder to help you push past your doubts and learn to embrace both fear and failure as the wonderful teachers that they can be.
Ever had a day, a week or even longer where you just didn't want to get out of bed?
I have totally been there, so join me today as I share some practices that can help you jumpstart your day...things you can add to your toolbox that you can bring out whenever you are feeling low on energy.
Even if you have to get motivated to do something you hate doing, it's still possible - it may just require a change in perspective. After all, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" - Dr. Wayne Dyer
Join me today as I share something that is a bit embarrassing now that I look back on it. Like, why was I resisting this change so much? A lot of the time we don't even realize how much we are resisting a change that, once we do change, leads to a much better place.
It's my hope that by sharing this with you, you take some time to reflect on areas of your own life where you are consciously or unconsciously resisting something and that next step, make that change, and really take control of your life.
Hello listeners, please join me today as I share some recent discoveries I've made about myself, my health, and my well-being when I took the time to slow down and take care of myself.
By giving myself some time for just me, I was able to start asking some question, getting support, and finally coming to a realization of what has been bogging me down for months if not years.
So, consider this podcast a loving reminder to take the time for you and you might just make some amazing discoveries of your own!
Your perception of reality - determines your experience of reality.
Perceptions can be changed and enhanced.
How do we modify our perception of reality?
In today's episode, we cover three fundamental areas of perception and specific tools for enhancing your perspective in those key areas.
I also share a tool that I have used for 12 years that has shaped my mind more than anything else I have ever done consistently.
In Daniel Coyle’s book "The Little Book of Talent," he talks about the importance of forming healthy habits as it relates to our perception and the framework of our minds. He writes: “Neurologists call this the sled on a snowy hill phenomenon. The first repetitions are like the first sled tracks on fresh snow. On subsequent tries, your sled will tend to follow those grooves.”
Einstein was big on perspectives, and how they modify the way we interact with the world around us, he said: "I think the most important question facing humanity is, ‘Is the universe a friendly place?”
I hope you enjoy!

I'm here today to tell you "Don't give up!"
Whatever is going on in your life right now, if it feels like you're stuck, or fighting a current, don't throw in the towel.
Join me today as I share a personal story where I've given up and gotten back into the fight several times already to help inspire you and motivate you to do the same.
Have you ever felt stressed or overwhelmed and as the day goes on, it seems to get worse and worse?
Today I'm going to share with you something that has helped me in times like this.
It's amazing how taking just five minutes for yourself can turn your whole day around, so the next time you feel like everything is just getting a bit too much, take five!
I have always been curious about human nature and what makes us tick. I have worked with people all over the globe. People with different beliefs, backgrounds, religions, professions, family issues, and traumas. In writing this book, I started to change. I first was in a place of anger like most victims. Then as the anger melted away and my heart opened, I was able to see things much more clearly. I started to put the puzzle pieces together when it comes to childhood trauma, domestic violence, narcissisms, and how we treat one another.
Therefore, I wrote this book to shine my light out into the world. For I was in the dark like many other people. I had to heal my wounds and pick myself back up. When I realized, our story is happening to others around the world, I felt this strong urge to write this book. I needed to share our story to spare millions of children and families from abuse, trauma, and pain.
Like many other victims, I went on a quest to learn more about narcissistic traits and behaviors. I sadly discovered that it appeared many websites and blog posts were not coming from a place of love, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness, but from a place of anger, hate, and victimization. If you truly want to heal and discover your authentic self, you must come from a place of LOVE!
Victims of narcissistic abuse have been led down the path of being afraid because FEAR has been their teacher. I want to take a different approach. I want LOVE to be your teacher. Fear is all about force and the energy/vibration of fear is weak. If you Google images of “Clinically Proven Map of Consciousness”, you will see that the energy levels below 200 are false, lack integrity, and do not support life. Energy levels above 200 have truth, Integrity, and support life.

In this episode I talk about about how you can quickly change your experience by changing your perspective. Everything can be seen from another perspective. There is not one truth. Typically we perceive things only one way and believe it to be our truth. However, by seeing things a new way, you can create a new and better reality for yourself with little physical effort. This is easier said than done; therefore, it takes conscious effort to change our conditioned thought patterns and beliefs. Our challenges are meant to wake us up and remind us that something within ourselves need to change. We need challenges to help us evolve. Part of our spiritual awakening is being able to see things from multiple perspectives so we can grow, expand, and experience more. In this episode I share three ways in which you can shift your perspective so you can shift your experiences for the better.
Do you show up each day winging it and doing what feels good, or do you have a plan of attack and a system you thrive in?
Sure, some people can just show up and figure it out, but what if there’s room to optimize your workflow while still acting in the muse?
It tends to be a little bit easier for people who do their things full time, as there’s a little more margin and room for flexibility.
If you’re like me and you hold down a day job, your time is already scarce...so winging it each day is most likely not going to yield the type of results you’re wanting.
Having a plan, scheduling your success, and optimizing your productivity is key...plus you gotta leave a little margin in there for play to stay sane.
My friend Steve Wolf and his wife Danielle are people who have a plan and have been consistently crushing it. They are the brains behind Steve Wolf Designs, a design and branding studio in Austin, Texas. They crush work for brands like Target, Lennox Air, Butler Bros, Adobe, TypeHike, and everything in between.
While Steve thrives in the creativity department crushing design, logos, branding, custom type, etc., I feel every creative needs the Danielle counterpart—she is an organization guru who runs marketing, process development, and project management (basically all the stuff creatives like I do suck at). Productivity is her jam, and she’s also a coach who she helps busy women find their unique balance and create more joy in their life.
Strap in and take some notes and we cover a ton of topics like:
If you’re a side hustler or freelancer who’s ready to step your game up, then this episode was crafted for you.

Run Your Own Race & Avoid the Comparison Trap
“Never compare your beginning to someone else’s middle.” – Jon Acuff from his book Start.
I often allowed comparison to paralyze me from becoming the person I’m supposed to become. Much of that comparison stems from the social world of the internet.
I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I feel fortunate enough to know how life worked before it, as well as experience the rise of it.
In high school, I was on the early days of MySpace and felt the dopamine rush that notifications give you.
When I graduated in 2006, I joined the new wave of Facebook. You actually needed a college email to get access, long before your parents and grandparents were on that shit.
In 2013, I joined Instagram. In 2o14, I shifted to using it as a business portfolio. That’s when my life as a creative drastically changed, as I started to take my craft and message more seriously.
The Beautiful Toxicity of Social Media
Social media is a huge blessing in my life. It gives me confidence in myself and my work after spending the majority of life with none.
It has helped me find my creative community. This community lets me cultivate incredible relationships with like-minded nerds and freaks that geek out over the weird shit I do.
It’s given me a platform to spread good vibes, cast a spotlight on others, and speak up for things I believe in.
At the same time, though, social media has become a trap—not to mention a time suck when we don’t intentionally use it as a tool.
Social media truly is a beautiful thing. At the same time, it can be toxic as fuck.
It trains us to compare our lives and our work to our peers or to the legends we idolize.
We operate from a mindset of lack and have become the it’s never enough culture.
We constantly seek what someone else has and easily lose sight of what’s important—what we already have.
Who cares if we have 500 followers when Sally Jane has 5,000?
Sally Jane feels shitty because Billy Bob has 50k.
Billy Bob is bumming hard because Gertrude Baggins has 500k.
We’re forever running in a hamster wheel trying to play “catch up” when, in reality, we’re running our own race.
Marathon > Sprint
You’ve probably heard this a hundred times, but the race we’re running isn’t a sprint—it’s a lifelong marathon. It’s not a microwavable 100-meter sprint, it’s a slow, day-by-day grind that requires lots of practice, patience, and persistence.
You have your own starting point, no matter your age and experience.
You run at your own pace. Sometimes times you need to push the pedal through the floor and bust your ass. Other times, you have to pump your breaks and deal with the ebb and flow of life.
Your destination is different as your finish line is unique to you. There’s no GPS that’s going to give you step-by-step directions.
Your race is your own, so run your own race.
Stop Robbing Yourself
Teddy Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the greatest thief of joy.” We are constantly sticking ourselves up with the gunpoint of comparison.
Don’t let the cool shit others do rob you from making the cool shit you’re supposed to be creating.
Don’t let the incredible things people within and outside your circle are doing rob you from becoming incredible too.
Erase the comparison you’ll face in your dream that you chase. If that’s the case, you gotta embrace that you’re running your own race at your own pace to a different destination or place.
P.S. I hate running.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” Abe Lincoln
I’m fired up for this punchy solo episode today. I’ve been answering a lot of questions via IG DMs or in my Private Facebook Community, and there seems to be a theme in a lot of my responses.
I compiled a lot of the pattern answers together and crafted this little diddy to help you know what you want out of life and how to make a game plan to go get it.
Today, I'm giving you a 6 Step Game Plan for Finding Clarity to Create Your Own Future.
I want this to be an episode you can easily go back and reference when you’re lacking clarity or need that spark to keep pushing forward.
1. HAVE A VISION
Lockdown these 3 things and be as specific as possible:
Action Step: Write down a detailed answer for each of the 3 aforementioned areas and note if this vision pertains to the short term (this year) or longer term (3, 5, or 10 years from now).
2. BUILD A GAME PLAN
Action Step: What’s one thing you want to accomplish in 2019? How can you break it down into a SMART goal?
3. TAKE ACTION
Action Step: With your previously created SMART goal, what’s the first step you should take? Act on it today if you’re able to.
4. BUILD RELATIONSHIPS
Action Step: Inject yourself into a community of like-minded people who are all working towards similar visions as you.
5. BE CONSISTENT
Action Step: I recommend a minimum of putting art or content onto the interwebs at least once a week.
6. BE PERSISTENT
Action Step: Hoard your victories.

If you’re a creative like me, you deal with imposter syndrome, burnout, finding time to make personal work, and trying to make something meaningful.
Some people refuse to admit these “flaws” publicly, as they feel it would tarnish their potential professional perception. In my eyes, showing the world that you're human attracts more people to you—no matter if you’re a wide-eyed rookie or a polished vet in the game.
No one has it all figured out, no matter how hard someone tries to convince you otherwise.
We appreciate knowing that the people we admire struggle with the same things we do—at least I do. It levels the playing field and empowers us to take it up a notch because if they can do it, we can too.
Queue today’s guest, Nick Slater, illustrator and design Goliath slanging jaw-dropping work out of the Bay Area. He’s worked with big brands like Lyft, Slack, Twitter, Asana, Zendesk, Airstream, Epicurrence, and The Washington Post.
His creativity, diverse skillset, and frequent output certainly may persuade you he’s a robot. However, with how open he is about the struggles we all deal with, reminds you he’s definitely human just like the rest of us.
That’s what I love most about Nick—he’s got big-time work, but doesn't have a big head.
In today’s episode, Nick Slater and I go into the nitty gritty about:
This one is going to give you all the feels and set a fire under your ass to push to the next level as we finish this week and year strong.
You know the drill! Take a screenshot or share a video of the episode you’re listening to and tag me on IG @perspectivepodcast and let me know what you think. I enjoy the hell out of connecting with you each week there.

Opening up about your struggles opens you up to being put under a microscope. However, I feel when we do open up about our story, it makes us more human and gives others permission to embrace their imperfect story.
Queue today’s guest: Ari Woeste, an independent lettering artist and art director out of Minneapolis, MN, who’s especially a force with tactile and food lettering. She’s crushed projects for some of the biggest brands in the world like Wal-Mart, Polo Ralph Lauren, General Mills, and Yoplait (to name a few).
Ari has an incredible story filled with humility, and she’s not afraid to open up about the ups and downs of her creative career.
On today’s episode, Ari and I get super deep into:
This one is going to hit home with you no matter where you are on your creative grind.
