WOTA #076 - ”The Energy We Give is the World We Create”

- A common misconception is that we look out into the world and take it in, but consider that it is exactly the opposite. We project the world out and we see what we focus on, pay attention to what we think about and look for what aligns with what we put attention on. Therefore, whatever we give energy to becomes the way we see and experience the world. Your experiences are directly related to where and how you apply your energy, attention and focus. Things only matter because you decide they do. Tune in for an episode where we aim to explore how to reevaluate this and use energy in a more powerful, productive and effective way to make us all happier and live a more fulfilled life experience.

WOTA #072 - ”Create Your Atmosphere to Flourish”

- We built this conversation upon a metaphor... that inside the acorn is the image of the oak tree. We argue that it is in your very nature to grow into your dreams and visions if you provide the atmosphere for it to happen. Your job is to figure out what you require both internally and externally to flourish. You must form your life in a way that nurtures and enriches this thing within you. We discuss how this life journey may just be about uncovering your true nature and setting yourself up to grow into it. If you have anything to add, please comment! We love hearing from you.

WOTA #071 - ”When Will You Accept Your Calling?”

- What is your calling? Do you ever have a part of you that is asking for your attention, yet it's unclear what exactly that is? Is there something inside your heart that is demanding something of your very being, but you feel like you don't know how to live up to it? This might just be your calling. This thing, this interest, this idea, this image... this... whatever it is for you... this might be the thing pointing you towards what you are meant for. Join us for a conversation that deep dives into exploring this concept.

WOTA #069 - ”Making Peace With the Past”

- Join us for an episode of discovery as each of us take a moment to challenge our pasts and look into out futures. We decided to go back to where these conversations started, from a place of investigation that allows us to venture own personal struggles. Maybe you will find that you relate to it. The past can come knocking on the door for all of us and we each need to decide how we will deal with it. To make peace with it may seem obvious, but how to do so may feel elusive at times. We aim to get to the bottom of it and figure out a way to approach our pasts with new tools.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) with each moment the bigger picture of yourself is always being built
#2) the way you make sense of your past is how you experience the now

WOTA #068 - ”The Life Story You Want to Live”

- What drives the story of your life? In this episode we look how goals are a part of the process in self discovery. By going after what you think you want you will begin to discover what you are truly after. That thing hidden behind it, that you can only see once you get there. Sometimes a superficial goal is what we need to get ourselves to the peak of a mountain to see the horizon of our bigger dreams. All along we may think what we want is to reach the summit of this climb, but the point was simply to get there to see something else. Something deeper and more meaningful than we ever knew existed.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) set a goal that makes you stretch beyond your current identity
#2) goals are the plan of direction that set your life story in motion
#3) if you don't make a plan you will be a part of someone else's plan

WOTA #059 - ”Reshaping the New Normal”

- Is it possible that things will never be the same as they once were? There is a cry in the world to go back to the way it was, but what if going back is not an option? Yet, what if going forward, into something new, is actually a better direction and we just need to accept that? In this talk we look into world events from the artist perspective as to what it might mean to reshape the new normal. We look at the way the world has changed already, what has come to light from it and how we might take all of this into account going forward. We may very well collectively be in various stages of mourning our old identity, but this may be the transformational opportunity we need to become something more.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) change is uncomfortable when we resist it, the solution is acceptance
#2) what was once considered normal and okay is not always better today
#3) focus on yourself, who you are and who you want to be in the new norm

This is a time of change, of growth, of internal exploration and new forms of expression. Join us for this conversation and listen until the end because we end up having a really cool and unexpected discovery in this one.

WOTA #057 - ”Forced Creativity”

- When you are in a time of chaos it may be a great moment to ask yourself what actually matters. Maybe you have been valuing things that are not that important and you are finally putting those things in question. The end of one thing is the beginning of another and this may be a chance to start anew. At times change is forced upon us and we must get creative because what used to work before, doesn't work anymore. This can be a time to reevaluate yourself, your life and your values. Creativity in itself cannot be forced, but you may find it comes out best when you must change course.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) when you have time provided you can resist yourself or explore it
#2) creativity cannot be forced, but the end of one way is the start of anew
#3) get in the practice of being with yourself and allow creativity to arise

- In this one we get into why there is no need to be anything more than you are. We crack open the door to let you take as look inside yourself and see that there is a lot more there than you may realize. Part of what can stop us from really doing something is that we are actually trying harder to be something instead of simply taking authentic action. If you think what you are doing has to be something that can make the entire process a difficult one. It may stop you in your tracks and make everything feel impossible to do. It can create doubt. But if you allow yourself to simply be as you are and just do it there is a freedom and joy that can arise from it all for you.

#1) begin by doing something simply because it brings you joy to do
#2) you don't have to be anything other than exactly what you are now

WOTA #040 - ”Getting Over the Resistance to Create”

- Sometimes creating something original can feel frightening... so frightening that it can stop you right in your tracks. Sometimes no amount of inspiration is going to be enough to get you through it either. We discuss a lot of the elements that make creativity like this for us at times. We discuss how it can even be experienced as a life or death situation to us because it goes against the tribe and makes us stand out. The idea that we may be rejected by others can be enough to make us copy everything they do. So how do we break away from that need? This is the talk that gets into it.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) when you are pushing on creating something original it will be scary
#2) creativity is an exploration and a lot of things won't work out initially
#3) you got to trust within yourself that what you are up to is worth while

WOTA #039 - ”Why is this Happening?!”

- When you get into a tough spot in life you may ask yourself... "why is this happening?" The answer you come up with is the narrative you tell about yourself, your life and what it all means. In a lot of ways we make it all up, but we don't always realize that we have this power. We are creative beings who use logic and deduction to understand things, to make sense of things, but out logic and creativity can work against us as much as it works for us.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) everything that happens can serve you if you allow it to do so

- When you get into a tough spot in life you may ask yourself... "why is this happening?" The answer you come up with is the narrative you tell about yourself, your life and what it all means. In a lot of ways we make it all up, but we don't always realize that we have this power. We are creative beings who use logic and deduction to understand things, to make sense of things, but out logic and creativity can work against us as much as it works for us. Check out this preview of the upcoming episode and if you like it, tune in for the full episode and see how we get there.

WOTA #038 - ”When the Plan Goes Out the Window”

- Things don't always go to plan... so that's why we need to be adaptable to each moment of our lives. We often have ideas about how things should go, or the way we want them to go, so what do we do when that doesn't happen? This one is about how to get ourselves out of tunnel vision and expand our view of what is possible that we were not seeing before. When things don't go to plan it's an opportunity to see or do something different that was not initially possible, but you have to remain open to it. Things not going to plan may actually turn out to be a really great thing if you allow it to be.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) when things don't go to plan there is a new opportunity available
#2) planning can us tunnel visioned and limit our perspective of things
#3) it's good to have a plan, but remain open to dropping it if necessary

WOTA #037 - ”The Creative Side of Boundaries”

- It is a tremendous gift to set your boundaries and to be clear about them with yourself and others. It allows you a safe area to play and explore, which gives you a clear area to create within. It also allows you to know when you or someone else has gone too far and establishes a clear line of respect. We may not always know what our boundaries are so we have to go out in the world and discover them by feeling our way through it. Then we must check in with ourselves and be honest about what feels safe for us and what feels unsafe or not okay. It takes work to establish, but it is vital to your success and growth as an artist and as a human being.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) the boundaries you set are about creating a safe place to play
#2) boundaries are not just to help you, they are also to help others
#3) you will find your boundaries through checking in with how it feels

WOTA #036 - ”Freedom‘s Unexpected Ally”

- We dive into what actually gives us freedom and we found that it comes in an unexpected way... through discipline. This may seem counterintuitive, but as you will find it is discipline that creates a lot of the form and structure in our lives that allows us room to play. It creates the safety and security necessary as well as providing us with the ability to do more. Discipline can also be abused though by someone using it to have power and control over someone as well, so for some of us it may carry some negative connotations with it. We get into both sides of it and confront some of the negative connotations that come with it when we have not developed a full understanding of what it can be for us.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) freedom and structure must find a balance in every artist's life
#2) to be free of form is to have and to know your form in the first place
#3) changing your perspective on discipline can free your creative self

WOTA #035 - ”We‘re All Gonna Die!”

- Fear is often used by us to excuse ourselves, but it is actually an opportunity for each of us to discover ourselves. The ultimate fear usually comes down to the fear of death, and so we decided to confront it head-on in this conversation. Since we will all die at some point, as far as we know, we may as well accept this and simply go forth in our lives with courage. We dive into the idea of how accepting and embracing the end is actually an opportunity to begin. In many ways, it is the concept of death that causes us to live our greatest lives. Join us for this rabbit hole of a conversation and see where it takes you!
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) life is temporary, yet we don't always appreciate how much so
#2) since we all meet our end, acceptance can be your new beginning
#3) there is nothing to fear with the power of perspective on your side

WOTA #034 - ”Playing the Progress Game”

- The progress game can get us caught up in measuring ourselves in the wrong ways because we don't always see the wholeness of what really matters most. Sometimes such things only become visible in hindsight. We often think we do know what matters most and this is how we can deceive ourselves out of being in the present moment fully. The error is when we are measuring for something that may not actually matter in the end we trade away true value for the wrong things and miss out on what truly counts. With too much focus on making progress we may go on missing out on all the creative opportunities we had to explore because we got too tunnel visioned on one thing that ultimately doesn't even matter for our true fulfillment.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) making progress is good, but focusing on it too much can be bad
#2) progress is not always something you can see or be totally aware of
#3) what you think matters today may not matter one bit tomorrow

WOTA #033 - ”Nobody Knows Your Path But You”

- The past and the future can play into our present moment and make us feel as though we are stuck on a certain track in our lives. We can accidently use worry and evidence of past events to get ourselves bound to a story we must live out. Deep down we may want to escape it, we may not like where it is leading us, yet it can still feel completely inescapable. This talk is about using the present moment to reform our ideas of the past and present so we can free ourselves from their chains. We discuss the idea of seeing your choices to make decisions by getting you to identify how you may obligate yourself. Join us as we deep dive into being the one who decides your path, instead of continuing to be stuck on one that was programmed for us by something else.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) your path does not have to be an obligation, it can be your choice
#2) there is no one right path to take, it is entirely up to you to determine
#3) this is about taking ownership and making claim as to the way you'll go

WOTA #032 - ”Using Curiosity as a Compass”

- You have an internal compass that guides you. You'll find it in your sense of curiosity. In this episode we implore you to indulge it and see where it takes you, even if where it directs you does not make sense right away. Using curiosity as a compass can open up new doors for you to walk through that lead to amazing places that are unexplored. It can also provide the potential for new insights that change your life. Curiosity allows you to see things you didn't even consider before in your creativity and that can have a massive payoff in entirely unexpected, and unforeseen ways. You have no idea what will come out of curiosity, but the only way to find out is to dare to pursue it. You don't need a reason to do it either, often you just need to jump in and go for it.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) when you hit a plateau it's definitely time to get curious about things
#2) curiosity can help you pair two things together and make it feel new
#3) don't rob yourself of a vibrant life because you are too afraid venture

WOTA #031 - ”The Time to Abandon the System”

- In this discussion we talk about the value of having a system and the courage it takes to abandon it when we reach its limits. We venture down the road of how systems, rules, guidelines and structure serve us up to a point. Then we take it beyond that point to see where you can go if you are willing to dare to abandon all of that, even when it is "working" for you. It begins by knowing how things connect so you can challenge them and think outside of the box to do something new and original that is one of a kind. Join us for a conversation that is designed to help push you beyond getting common results.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) a system is the launch point of creativity, but not an end point for it
#2) doing everything "right" will only get you so far... then it's up to you
#3) going beyond the system is trusting yourself to attempt a new thing

WOTA #030 - ”Who Do You Want to Be Now”

- In this episode we discuss how to transcend our past, or better, how to use our past to transcend ourselves. We get into how we can get caught in the past and how that can be weaponized against our ability to be present. As human beings we make meaning about nearly everything and often those meanings are not always serving us. We also make patterns out of the events that happen in our lives and attempt to use those perceived patterns to predict our futures. This can be valuable and serve us, but it can also limit us and make us play small in our lives. So the real question is... who do you want to be now? That is up to you to decide not based on your past, but based on your inner truth that is free from the events of your past or from who you have been.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) part of uncovering your true self is counter-intuitive to the walls you built
#2) who you have been is not who you must be forever, you can free yourself
#3) part of your identity may have been defined by others, not by you... yet

WOTA #029 - ”Trusting in Your Own Way” (w/ Kat Schulte)

- The way to where you want to go is yet to be discovered. You simply have to trust that you will find your own way and that it comes from within. It is not something you can copy by looking at others for the answer.
In this episode we have a wonderful guest who brings a very wise and loving message to us all... her name is Kat Schulte. In this talk she helps us to look deeper within ourselves to connect with our feelings and deeper instincts that drive us. To find our own truths within instead of trying to copy a seemingly common idea we got elsewhere. Join us for this amazingly compassionate and profound conversation into digging into your depths and using that to guide you through life to find your own hidden voice.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) there is only your own way, and that must be discovered along the way.
#2) give yourself love and compassion for how you feel, it can be an asset.
#3) do not compare yourself to others, they have their own truths to find.

WOTA #028 - ”The Problem With Where You Are”

- The problem with where you are is that you think there is a problem with where you are. It's not being able to accept it in your life and see that it is necessary and all a part of the process. Going about your life this way can lead to all sorts of challenges that are unintentionally self-created. Some things you desire can be copied and replicated, but the creative part of life does not work that way. Many of the most important, most valuable things to us personally, can only be accomplished by doing them our own way, but we do not know that way until we embrace where we are right now. It is a combination of the law of presence and appreciation that allow you to begin where you are and go on a path there that you can claim as your own. Something one of a kind, like you.
KEY INSIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
#1) there is nothing wrong with where you are, let it be exactly what it is
#2) unforeseen obstacles on your path allow you to raise your game
#3) in hindsight you may be able to see that it has always been a gift
