Listen if you liked books like the Creative Act by Rick Rubin. Or the War of Art by Steven Pressfield. This is like a haunted house journey through the creative soul. Maybe this is my Pink Floyd the Wall. A 12-part experience,
Influences include: Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Cameron Rosin on being bloated and full of other people’s words. Sofia Isella’s Everybody Supports Women. Rick Rubin. Richard Rudd. Josh Schrei. And dozens of teachers and mentors whose words have slipped into my soul.
