A special bonus episode with your host, Pallavi Mahidhara, reflecting on the conversations in Season 6, and looking forward to Season 7.

I love being able to give back with this podcast and the content I share. That's why I invest my time and money into The Conscious Artist® - because I am committed to contributing positive change to our industry and to helping the next generation of artists. At the same time this is an independent podcast, fully run by yours truly, and in order to maintain quality and consistent content on top of my performance schedule, I do need some support.

So moving forward from Season 7, bonus episodes like these will be available only to paid subscribers. For only $9/month, paid subscribers will get access to bonus episodes, personal reflections, and a brand new bite size meditation series - "Mini Mindfulness with Pallavi". All under 5 minutes, these guided meditations can help you get started on your meditation journey, ease your stress during practice sessions, or simply allow you to unwind after an intense day.

Premium content will also include once a month 30-min Zoom community check-ins. If you love this show and want to get premium access by subscribing - please know it would help me out a lot! If a monthly subscription feels too daunting for you right now, you can also support me with a one time donation instead on Buy Me A Coffee - the links for both the monthly subscriptions and the one time donations are listed below.

In the opening episode of Season 6, your host, Pallavi Mahidhara, shares her perspective on perfectionism, boundaries, and having compassion for yourself. This season very spontaneously developed common themes through the conversations with our guests around finding ones identity, struggling with perfectionism and failure, and learning how to trust oneself and fight for what aligns with us. Part of sharing our struggles and being vulnerable means the possibility for collective healing. So thank you all for the beautiful community we are growing. Welcome to Season 6.
