Beyond the Template
Welcome Beyond the Template- the more than “just-talk” podcast.
Here you will find the untold stories of everyday creatives facing fear, reinvention, and the unknown… with practical tools, reflection questions, and soulful storytelling for people stepping out of hiding to finally follow through with their dream project or goal.
Creativity isn’t limited to art. It’s anything someone wants to bring to life... be that a course, an event, a product, a piece of music, a first draft of a script or book, a relationship, or an evolved version of themselves.
You will be offered ways to bring bring your creative vision into existence through weekly lessons, actionable items and accountablity within a community of change with:
- Structure- Because sometimes its hard to prioritize our dreams
- Consistency- Because a little push each week makes a huge impact
- Inspiration- Because we all need to feel seen in those we aspire to be
- Fun- Because learning can be entertaining, engaging and relieve us from today’s non-stop quest for quickness and quantity over quality
No matter what, at the end of each season (and every single episode) you will be so much farther along than you were!
You’re doing great. Keep it up. Keep it creative.
