It’s been 2 years since we originally aired this episode. This is part 1 of our 6 part audio memoir series “Right Side Out”. On the surface it’s about my journey with ADHD and making peace with being “just like my mom”. But underneath, what it’s really about, is YOU. It’s about how to love yourself enough to get curious about who you are. If you have had trouble finding your style, voice or sensibility as an artist, it might be because you’ve jumped to making for others too quickly. First and foremost, creative work helps us get our inner world onto the page so that we can get an outside perspective on ourselves. Kind of trippy, right? HAHA. But it’s true. Listen to this episode: 1 - If you want to remember who you are. 2 - You need tools for putting more of yourself into your work, whether it’s creative work or not! 3 - You are longing for a more gentle, loving and ultimately more productive relationship with yourself.

Hey, y'all. At the time that I am recording this, this month is the two-year anniversary since we released our six-part audio memoir series, Right Side Out, on this podcast feed. Right Side Out is about creatively building a positive view of self through a neurodivergent lens. This is the journey of me finding out I was ADHD, adopting a positive view of myself, and why this was the key to unlocking my creativity. My mom, who I h- didn't see a ton growing up, was a big part of this journey, and the series culminates and ends with me going and interviewing her for an episode a- after not seeing her for several years. Sophie and I wrote this series together, and it was one of the most amazing and heartbreaking things that I've ever done. We cried a lot in the weeks [laughs] that we were recording this. Um, but it was really therapeutic, and it was a creative project that two years on I can safely say has changed my life. And, um, judging from all the amazing messages and letters and notes we've received in the following years from all of you, I am so grateful to know that it has had an impact on your life, too, and on your creativity and especially on your view of self. Um, um, I love hearing people say that they're encouraged to live right side out. Today on the show, we are
