I was thrilled to get to talk with Sasha Tozzi for this week's episode! We talk about recovery and anxiety - two topics I'm becoming more and more interested in. We also talk about how you can get over your fear of what other people are going to think about choices you make, how it feels to go public with a big life change, and how you can start building up your creative confidence and resilience. If you have life changes that you want to make that feel scary, this episode is for you! Enjoy!   Show Notes: Join the RYHSY fb group Let's connect on Instagram!

This month's solo show is also the second installment of the My Raise Your Hand Say Yes Life series I introduced last month. This week, I'm diving into the why behind choosing the word flow for my guiding word of 2017 and the reason why I've committed to 100 days of going light as a public project. You'll also hear about how my not drinking commitment is going and the daily practices I'm starting to implement to help me stay in my flow.   Show Notes: Join the RYHSY fb group Let's connect on Instagram!

Exciting episode alert! I'm talking with RYHSY veteran Erin Cassidy all about taking risks...as we go behind the scenes of the debut of our new podcast How to be Remarkable!  In this episode, we dive deep into talk of creative risk, especially when it goes against the way you'd normally do things. Are you dreaming of starting a podcast but don't know how to balance that with your introverted tendencies? Listen in - cuz Erin has some great thoughts on that! I was also excited to have this conversation right at the beginning of our new endeavor as it's easy to forget about the nervous + excited feeling of projects once you've gotten distance between yourself and the starting line.  Enjoy, enjoy and we'd love for you to also check out the new podcast - either online or on iTunes!  Show Notes:  Connect with Erin: ArtSocial | BrandCrush | Instagram How to be Remarkable podcast online How to be Remarkable podcast on iTunes Get your free brand audit quiz & 3-day mini-class RSVP for the 5/4 Don't Hate your Websi

This week's episode is a deep dive into the reality of business change, following your dreams, and doing big scary things with Jessie Artigue of Style and Pepper as she's in the midst of launching her new clothing line Season on Kickstarter.  Before we started recording, Jessie told me that she wanted to get into the dirt of change and creative risk and so we went there! We talk about knowing you need to make a change - even when everything looks really good on paper, how to deal with anxiety, the problem with hustle, and what it's really like to run a very public kickstarter for something you've gone all in on (hello vulnerability!). This episode is longer than usual, but it's because there was so much good stuff to discuss!

This week I got to have a wonderfully refreshing and honest conversation with writer and editor Bridget Watson Payne about her new books The Secret Art of Being a Grown-Up and How Art Can Make you Happy.  We talked about the best and hardest parts of being a grown-up, the intersections of creativity and enthusiasm and what to do with that pesky inner-critic of yours. We also dove into the creative process, political differences, and how to deal with rejection - especially if you have dreams of being published! I think you'll love this episode as much as I do!

Resonance - it's my new favorite thing. In this solo episode, I dive into why resonance is so important, why it might be overlooked, and what it can mean to your creative work. If you find yourself struggling to find your way and get things right for you, this is the episode to listen to! I'll also be showcasing some of my own work around resonance as I focus on my word of 2017: flow.

This week, we're diving into the archives to bring you a conversation with Alison Faulkner of The Alison Show - a listener favorite blast from the past - with a new reason to celebrate!  We talk about enthusiasm (and what to do when you aren't feeling it!), letting go of what other people might think, building a compelling brand, and how NOT to have a nervous breakdown. Alison has such a fresh perspective about all of this, and I suspect you'll be smitten with her 5 minutes in. ...and if you like what you hear, be sure to check out Alison's new podcast Awesome with Alison!    Show Notes: Connect with Alison: Website | Instagram | Youtube | Facebook | Pinterest Party with Alison, Alison's new party guide Alison's How to be Awesome youtube series You are a Badass, by Jen Sincero Get your free 1-month trial to Audible.com here Join the RYHSY facebook group My Q&A Book Recommendations: The Alchemist by Paul Coelho Do the Work by Steven Pressfield Essentialism by Greg McKeown

I was so excited to talk with designer, metalworker, and entrepreneur Zai Divecha for this week's episode! You'll hear the story of how Zai went from Yale grad (undergrad and grad) to a career in tech to where she is now, specializing in TIG welding and producing gorgeous fine art wall hangings.  You'll also hear us talk about the steps Zai took as she was deciding to leave tech and become a full-time artist, and what helped her in her first year of the transition. Finally, you'll get the scoop on what kinds of support networks carry her through and some of the digital ways she keeps her fine art business organized!  If you've considered walking away from a looks good on paper career or degree to raise your hand and say yes to something creative, this episode is for you! Oh, and if you're looking for a dose of empowerment, you'll get that too! You guys - welding is so badass!  PS. Applications for It's Business Time close on 3/15 at midnight PST.

I'm excited to unveil a new feature called My RYHSY Life. In these monthly-ish episodes, I'll be going behind the scenes of my own life and business to tell the in-real-time story of what I'm currently raising my hand and saying yes to.  I'm kicking the series off with the story of how and why I decided to give up drinking a couple of months ago, in what is becoming a permanent change in my life. I'll be sharing what led me to make the decision to dive into the dry life, what I kept telling myself about why I couldn't do so sooner, and what I've learned about myself, my relationship with alcohol, and my life since. You'll also learn about the conversation I was afraid to have with my husband after I quit and the times I've been triggered to drink since. And not sure how my giving up drinking pertains to you and your creative quests? I'll fill you in on that too!  Show Notes: It's Business Time (applications are open through 3/15) Vintage RYHSY: Lacy Young on Shifting Vintage RYHSY: Lacy Young on Health Lacy Y

This week, I'm talking with physician-turned-spiritual-medicine-woman Vickie Lampkin about spiritual health, self-love and the question we all want answered: is it possible to be sane, healthy, and successful at the same time?  I am such a fan of Vickie and her work and I loved her take on self-care (you may be surprised!) and what she sees as the biggest roadblocks we creatives face as we try to make creative magic happen.  If you're looking to make a change in your life or are in the middle of one, this episode is for you! Likewise, if you're tired, burnt-out, or overrun by your ambition, you'll learn so much from this conversation.  Bonus: Dr. Vickie is also one of our It's Business Time alums.

This week, I got to talk with health coach Maya Henry about choices and mindsets and priorities. The conversation that I thought would be about practical and proactive tips on how we can break overwhelm and get healthy quickly became a conversation about how wellness and creativity are intrinsically linked - and how focusing on you health will actually make you more creatively alive.  I love Maya's no-bs and down-to-earth take on getting healthy (yes! you can still eat ice cream! no! you don't have to love kale!) and think this conversation is one that anyone who feels overwhelmed by life but is still seeking a change would benefit from.  We cover goal setting, intention setting, mindset shifts, and what happens when you *don't* make yourself a priority. You'll also hear over and over again how healthy and creativity are inter-related as well as my aha moment when Maya nails the perfect Raise Your Hand Say Yes venn diagram!  Bonus: Maya is offering all RYHSY listeners her free Happiness Meal Plan guide - it's

Marta Spendowska is a Polish-born, US-based watercolor artist and professional illustrator (guys, her work is AMAZING!), and I was thrilled to get to talk with her for this week's podcast episode. The theme of our conversation was change - how you recognize what you want, how you go about making things happen in your life, and what you need to be willing to let go of to move forward. You'll get to hear me have lightbulb moments of my own that have stuck with me since the taping!

Nikki Cade is a mixed-media artist and the founder of the Creative Brunch Series. I'm such a fan of her work and was so excited to get a chance to interview her this week. Nikki is fairly new to the professional artist world, and it was great to get her perspective on how to grow a business and a following in this current digital age. She also busted some of every creative's favorite excuses, including not having enough time, not having enough space, not being able to find your voice, and not having a big enough following - showing that building your creative business takes dedication, grit, and generosity. There's so much to learn from Nikki - I think you'll love our conversation!     Show Notes: Connect with Nikki:  Website | Instagram | Facebook | Pinterest Creative Brunch Series Mati Rose's Daring Adventures in Paint class The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz   Join the RYHSY FB group and get Tiffany's weekly love notes in your inbox
