Description

Welcome, I’m Katie Moran an author, poet, advocate, speaker, creativity coach and social entrepreneur. This is the Artistic Spirit Podcast, your place to understand artistry. I’m here with MJ Coppola! MJ is an author, poet. creative warrioress coach, and podcaster. She hosts the podcast Mirrored Wellness. 

We are hosting a 30 day creative sprint in our discord community, Creativille. MJ discusses how her first poetry book came out of the momentum she gained during a creative sprint. She credits her writing momentum to the first sprint she was a part of. If you are looking to gain momentum in your writing, we’d love to have you join our 30 day here.

MJ has been on an AI art journey. She utlizes it as a technique to hold space and prompt writing on the projects she is exploring. You can find her AI images on her social media accounts where she shares these prompts with the world. She calls this process a way of exploring and honoring her inspiration. You can find the software she mentions here.

MJ and I run a RNTKY: Suicide Prevention discord server and host a mental health Twitter Space every Saturday 12pm EST. It’s a community that’s a safe space for mindful mental health, gratitude, and self-discovery. If you are looking to find more gratitude and a supportive community, you can join here.

“...I’ve realized just showing up means a lot” -MJ Coppola

MJ shows up to her writing session where she holds space every Saturday from 10:30am-11:30am EST. It’s a silent coworking session. I attend on Saturdays and write with her for that hour. It’s on google meet. I like to describe the energy as the feeling of a warm hug. To me, it feels like sacred time and sacred space to create. You can learn more by joining her Facebook group: Well-Rounded Writing Support and Accountability Group..

We talk about the importance of taking action on your dreams today and not waiting for “that thing” to happen to begin. Do it today! It starts with small action and that’s what shows you that your dream is possible. Learn skills today that will help you tomorrow. The only thing impractical about dreams, is if you wait to take action on them.

Here’s your reminder: momentum is contagious. The momentum you build for yourself can be shared with others. Being around a community of people focused on building momentum is powerful and contagious! 

Here are three reasons to join our creative sprint on discord:

  1. To be in community with people who share your interests
  2. You’ll find pieces of yourself and your creativity that’s dormant 
  3. Explore creativity in a safe space with other people
