Today, we're talking organizing your week in a way that flows with you, not against you.
Welcome back, did you miss me?
We're doing new starts, we're climbing cringe mountain, and we're all climbing to the top together. Get in, let's go.
This week we're talking about how to bring awareness to how we show up in communicating. Let's take a moment to think about it, what's your point?
Welcome back to Say What You Mean, season 3! We are delighted to be back with you. Our first episode of the new season talks about beginnings, how fitting. Starting can be, or at least feel, incredibly pressurized. Let's talk about two ideas we've been inspired by recently on how to continue, to start.

Today, we're talking self-talk. Welcome back to Say What You Mean, we're glad you're here.
We often keep score against ourselves unfairly, especially when it comes to how we value our art. How do we kill the scoreboard? We share three ways we keep score against ourselves, why we do it, and what we can do differently in this week's episode of Say What You Mean. We're glad you're here.
We're looking at communication myths, why they're not the greatest option, and what's out there that's more effective. Today on the chopping block, The Sandwich.
Networking can be a huge 'ugh'. But what makes it feel that way, and how can we make it easier? Today we're talking about, The Dreaded Dance of Networking. We're glad you're here.
How are procrastination and self-sabotage intertwined, and how do we identify them? Listen into today's episode as we chat about tackling both.
Today, we're talking about the freedom in not knowing, what it feels like to carry yourself as an artist with effortless impact, and my favorite painting at the Dali. We're glad you're here.
Thank you to our Patreon supporters for making Say What You Mean possible, and thank you to Dom Potter for our killer soundtrack, as well as for ordering us milkshakes while I recorded this in the wee hours.
What do you MEAN we're supposed to know everything? A lot of times, especially in creative realms, it feels like we have to keep up with the image of knowledge of our craft somehow without ever asking for help or advice. Let's talk about asking for help, how to be a good learner, and how to graciously offer advice when someone asks you.
