“Loneliness is as much a reality of life as night and rain and thunder, and it can be lived creatively, as any other experience. So I say, let there be loneliness, for where there is loneliness there is also love, and where there is suffering, there also is joy.” ~ Clark Moustakas In today’s episode I’m going to be taking a deeper dive into the subject of loneliness, and hopefully sharing a new way to look at loneliness, especially if you’re a creative introvert.

Why am I talking about dragons? Well… these fearsome creatures have become quite a dominant part of my inner landscape over the past year or so, and I think it’s high time they get some recognition through my creative work. I also feel there’s a lot we can learn from our dragon friends, from coping with anxiety to finding your buried creative treasure to feeling more confident and self-assured. Also, with eclipse season on the horizon, we’re entering the mouth of the dragon, whether we want to or not. So, might as well try to prepare. Along with this episode, I’ve created a little PDF guide ..read more

Today I have arguably the most controversial guest I’ve had on the show (don’t worry it’s no one political!) I say controversial because of his take on introversion. And it’s not just any old take on introversion. Today’s guest is a lot more qualified than I am or many other professional online introverts are to talk about this stuff: Scott Barry Kaufman is is a psychologist at Columbia University exploring the depths of human potential (see research). He embraces a humanistic, integrative approach to help all kinds of minds live a creative, fulfilling, and meaningful life. Now I don’t want t ..read more

I’ve been thinking a LOT about calling. What we’re destined for. This idea of a path that we’re meant to walk and if we just figure out what that is, we’ll be happy. My problem is, that I – and maybe you too – had been convinced that our calling is something like: shaping the universe around us to meet our desires. Oh, and that when it’s shaped just how we want, we’ll be happy. In today’s episode, I share my current outlook on what it really means to have a calling, and hopefully provide some comfort, if you’re feeling a bit lost.

Today I’m tackling a topic I’ve been musing over for some time now. Maybe even years at this point. I’ve also had people – clients, listeners of the podcast, people in the League – all asking about this, and quite frankly I find myself asking questions about it regularly too. The mysterious topic is: intuition. Now, like with all of these episodes, I’m not claiming to have a definitive answer, now or ever, on these things, but I am aiming to provide us with some material, some “prima materia” perhaps, we can use to deepen our understanding of the intuition.

Studies have shown that people would rather definitely get an electric shock now than maybe be shocked later, and show greater nervous-system activation when waiting for an unpredictable shock (or other unpleasant stimulus) than an expected one. I think we can all agree that uncertainty is something we all want to avoid, and we can go to extreme lengths to do so. Living in these uncertain times is understandably, a cause for anxiety. I’m hoping though, in this episode, I can help you find a way to live with uncertainty – and actually find some peace. Astrology Readings from Cat POWERED BY ..read more

This episode of the Creative Introvert is all about evolution. As in, the evolution of YOU, your work, your life, your… you. I’m going to share with you some of the changes that have been occurring in my primary creative project (THIS!) as well as what you can expect from upcoming Creative Introvert shows. I’m also going to share with you a process for working through your own evolutionary blocks, and hopefully coming out the other side as a beautiful butterfly.
