I explore the ongoing journey of creativity—what I call mapping the mind stream. It’s not about having all the answers or mastering every skill; it’s about navigating the ever-changing flow of thoughts, ideas, and experiences that shape our creative lives. Along the way, we uncover deeper meaning in our work, valuing meaning over mastery as we embrace the beauty of creative imperfection. You can make cool shit even if you don’t believe you have your shit together. Conversely, you can have your shit together and still find meaning and purpose missing. The truth is you don’t need to have everything figured out to create something meaningful. In fact, it’s through the messy, imperfect process that the most powerful ideas emerge. Together we will explore those ideas—honoring the raw, unfinished, and imperfect nature of creativity while finding value in the journey, not just the destination.
