What if your creative expression is exactly what you need during difficult times?

Join me, Jamie Ridler, for this "moonlight episode" where I invite you into a late-night heart-to-heart. As we gaze at the stars, let’s explore why creativity matters so deeply, especially during challenging times. This is your reminder that art is not an extracurricular activity. It’s a vital part of processing life's intense experiences. Now is the time to embrace your artistic nature and discover the agency you have in this and every moment. I also want to invite you to join me for Rewilding, an online dance event on the spring equinox. Together we will shake off the darkness and welcome in a fresh new season. I hope this episode brings both comfort and inspiration to anyone struggling to maintain their creative practice when the world feels overwhelming. I believe in you.

Have you ever felt the creative vision in your head was so big and beautiful that it actually kept you from beginning?

In this intimate late-night episode, I return after a long hiatus to share how major life changes have deepened my understanding of creativity, transformation, and what it means to live life as an artist. I'll share three pivotal moments that have shaped my creative journey over the past few years. Whether you're wrestling with changes in your own life, seeking to deepen your creative practice, or simply yearning for authentic connection, this episode offers reassurance that you're not alone on this path. Together, we'll explore what happens when we trust the process, embrace transformation, and remember that sometimes the simplest ways of connecting are the most powerful.
