Episode 19: The Inner Critic
You know that moment when you start a project? The exciting time when the idea is fresh and new, but then it starts to loose its shine? You might even say to yourself “This sucks, why did I ever think this could be any good?” As the project continues to be difficult “This Sucks turns into I Suck”.
All of us have heard the voice of the Inner Critic and in this episode, Angie and Josh dive deep into those murky waters and discuss how to deal with the Inner Critic and turn it into an Inner Mentor.
Episode 18: The Long Slog
Creative work is just that, work. It may be fun and soul filling but behind the scenes of every “talented” artist is hours and hours of practice honing their craft. As a culture we are attracted to the shiny finished product, the glorious outcome, and very little attention is given to the daily grind of being an artist. We call this “The Long Slog.”
The concept of 10,000 hours is a benchmark for reaching “mastery” of a skill. We see that as barely scratching the surface. This is the runway for the “The Long Slog.” In many cases those hours happen while an artist is still in high school or college and then comes the real work of being an artist.
In this episode, Angie and Josh, discuss “The Long Slog” and how setting your priorities for your life and creative endeavors will help set you up for fulfillment.
Episode 17: Interview with Dan and Faith
“Dan and Faith are an award-winning, New England-based husband and wife singer-songwriter duo who describe their music as dream-inspired folk. Daniel Senie (guitar, banjo, harmonica, vocals) and Faith Senie (mandolin, bass, ukulele, dulcimer, vocals) tap into dreams and everyday life in crafting their original songs.”
Josh and I love how they weave together stories of place, connection, and belonging in their folk inspired compositions. Learn about how we met (it involved vegan muffins and a market!) and how they found music again after many years. Listen to Dan and Faith explain how they have embraced being musicians while juggling professional careers and a marriage.
