"I've learned to say yes to things that scare me, and to be in tune with myself and really understand if it's the right thing for me or not." -Nicole Miyuki

Nicole Miyuki is a freelance artist, graphic designer, teacher, and the author of two hand lettering books - By Hand: The Art of Modern Lettering and The Kids' Book of Hand Lettering. 

In 2015, Nicole began teaching in-person workshops to students who were curious about the hand lettering craze. In 2018, she wrote and published her two books – a journey that was quite unexpected. We had such a great conversation about mindfulness, creating space, and human connection.

We also talked about…

• How Nicole's unexpected experience of writing two books in a year helped her get more in touch with herself and her self-care needs
• The simple (but not easy) perspective shift that allows you to be open to possibility instead of making decisions from fear
• How to know when to plan and when to leave space for the unexpected, in life and in work
• How creative pursuits like hand lettering can be a mindfulness practice (especially for people who don't like meditation)
