On top of the audio portion, I decided to set up my webcam and record a video as well. It’s the same content as the audio but if you prefer a visual medium you can watch the podcast: Youtube You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

I ask myself (as most creators of art do.) “When will I no longer feel like an imposter?” I’m not sure that point will ever come but I’ve set a goal for myself, move one person. If I accomplish that, the post was a success. You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter

So it’s Monday. Another day where I was required to show up for today’s article and I decided to share a small glimpse into my biggest fear hoping bringing the monsters into the light will make them less scary. You can read this in article format here: Substack Website Instagram Twitter
