Are you a creator who's getting hung up in worry about the unknowns? Do statements like "I don't know exactly what it's going to look like" or "I don't know what to call it" or "I can't see it clearly yet" stop you from exploring what else is possible?
Follow along as Nanette invites you to check-in with yourself and affirm that being willing to see the next step and to take it is all that you need! Let your curiosity be the fuel that ignites all the possibilities of expanded expression. What does it look like to choose to be in your creative life in every moment? Wonder with Nanette as she shares how a dinnertime conversation became the content of this episode. What do you think her Inner Critic had to say about that! Is rambling on about flatbread and pizza enough to keep a podcast audience interested? You be the judge. Maybe your Inner Critic tries to stop you, too! Listen in as Nanette shares her delightful exploration of the innovation process through the lens of new cuisine. Will your questions lead you beyond what you know? Will you allow yourself to play in the possibilities?

EG Quotes: "Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart."
"The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them."
"Be the weirdo who dares to enjoy."
"So this, I believe, is the central question on which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?"

What would the world be like if millions of humans could be supported by technology to consciously choose a life of love rather than fear? Artist, Coach & Strategist, Amy Jones, is obsessed with creating this solution. Insatiably curious about the intersection of technology and humanity - where humanity is irreplaceable by technology and where technology can enhance humanity, Amy shares "If I were any more obsessed with this project, it would be unhealthy!"
Listen as she shares how the past three years have set her on this course and how she mustered the courage to be an artist after a 20 year hiatus, beginning her entrepreneurial journey. If you're a recovering perfectionist, you'll enjoy Amy's story of the night she created her Progress Maps and how she manages to outwit her "Clever Brain." A prolific creator, Amy shares how her experience as a teacher and a coach fueled her frustration with what she calls "one-way conversations" in social media and the limits of individual coaching sessions. Seeing the opportunity in today's technology to create something that could help many more people remember who they are, connect to what is true, and consciously make choices from love, she envisioned an app-based solution she now calls Recollect. Be sure to listen through to the end to enjoy the celebration of this first public invitation to join Amy in her vision. Are you an early adopter and embracer of collective, collaborative projects ready to be a Founding Member? Or, always wanted to be an app beta tester? Here's your chance!

Melanie Berry, Informaticist, Tech Guru, Change Manager and Artist, shares how not caring and painting "nothing" led her to stand aside to let art come through and claim herself as an Artist.
What happens when a tech guru spends 18 months in a hotel room learning to watercolor fruit by watching youtube videos? She discovers that she is an acrylic painter who loves neon! Today's guest, Melanie Berry, shares that "at some point we allow ourselves to let go." "I'm learning to be in control of being out of control." she shares. "I'm old", she added, "and I am gonna say what I wanna say and do what I want to do - even if it freaks me out!" Would you ever cut up your paintings? Melanie does! Is it possible to paint "nothing"? Melanie does! Can you really paint 6 things at once? Melanie does! Or for only 6 minutes? Melanie does! Listen in as Melanie introduces us to the art teacher who taught her that no creation is precious and how that allowed her to claim herself as an Artist. She shares her favorite Prayer of Protection, music to create by and quotes to inspire, too - you'll want to listen 'til the end and write these down, for sure!
