Taking the Leap!18: Ramey Barnett on Quittirement and Taking Control of Our LivesRamey Barnett is one of the smartest, funniest and most fiery people I know. But I was still floored when she and her wife quit their jobs and took a year to find themselves. The year is up and they are not going back. We talk about courage, their journey and how to take control of our lives.

Taking the Leap!17: Terry Mixon On Finding Your Audience and My Wife Carries a TazerTerry was one of the people who inspired me to become a writer. He walked away from NASA at 50 and turned to writing an epic science fiction series that is now generating enough revenue that Terry is considering becoming a full-time writer. We talk about fearing rejection, finding your audience and the myth of "overnight success."

Taking the Leap!16: Walking Alone with Charlotte ErikssonThis week I am speaking with Charlotte Eriksson, otherwise known as The Glass Child. She is a poet, writer, storyteller, musician and artist. We are speaking about her first book, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles. This book starts with her leaving home at 18 and choosing to live on the streets of London in order to follow her purpose. I love her story.
I adored Charlotte's epic and heart-tugging story in her lovely book, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: In Search for the Great Perhaps.

Taking the Leap!14: Yearning to Touch the Earth with Chelsea FussThis week I am speaking with prop stylist, world traveler, gardener and photography fiend Chelsea Fuss. She is a childhood friend and has a very successful lifestyle blog called Frolic.

Taking the Leap!13: How to Hate Writing LessI am totally an adult-onset writer and Ann Handley's Everybody Writes totally turned my life around. I went from being deathly afraid of writing to actually writing and releasing my first book. Ann Handley's book made this totally possible for me. As artists, we have to learn how to market ourselves and our work and this often means writing – whether thats product listings, websites, scripts, brochures and more.

Taking the Leap!12: Experiencing and Facing Grief with Laura PackerThis week I am speaking to Laura Packer about experiencing and facing soul-crushing grief. We recorded this a few months before the one year anniversary of the loss of her soul-mate and husband Kevin. A date that just passed the week before this post went live.
I first came across Laura’s writing when I read a post on her blog about what not to say to someone who is grieving. I began to follow her on her journey and I can't thank her enough for being so open to sharing her vulnerability, wisdom and love with me...2015-03-3134 min
Taking the Leap!11: Giving Ourselves Permission to Fail with Eric PortelanceWhat a joy to have Eric Portelance in front of a microphone again. We used to host Attention Surplus together and I was so excited to learn about his latest epic leap. We discuss what it feels like to announce our purpose to the world, how people respond and finding the courage to find and pursue our craft.
Please note that there is some swearing in today's show.
