How To Be Creative and Productive
People ask me all the time how I get everything done. They’re always commenting on how busy I am. And the truth is, I’m not busy. Busyness is a waste of time.
What I am is highly organized and productive. I’m also a highly creative and artistic person. I’ve spent decades dancing and performing on big stages. I’m all of these things.
So, while some people believe you can’t be both creative and productive, today, I’m sharing how you can! I’m also revealing my processes as an artist and a producer.
In this episode, I explore:
Why you don’t have to choose between being organized and being imaginative
The definition of being in a flow state
The way to stay receptive to creativity and produce meaningful art
The specific process I use as a producer and why each stage is crucial

Still, I Rise with Dr. Kristen Szabla, PhD (Speaker Salon Showcase)
Today, I’m super excited to share a big talk from my 2023 Speaker Salon Showcase. This talk was given by the amazing Dr. Kristen Szabla, Ph.D.
Kristen has over a decade of experience as a neuroscientist specializing in the neural circuitry mediating fear and depression.
As a survivor of incest and commercial sexual exploitation at an early age, Kristen is unable to remember a time in her young life when fear and suicidal ideation were not continuously present. However, she found the courage to face her painful past and is thriving.
Kristen is an empathic and passionate leader who is driven to fulfill her mission of transforming pain into power by providing data-driven and evidence-based content that redefines and amplifies the conversation surrounding the horror of sexual trauma and its destructive effects on mental health.
I’m so honored to feature her deeply powerful and personal talk, “Still, I Rise.”
In this talk, she explores:
The deep impact of shame and why it hijacks our brains
The reason trauma can create shame and cycles of depression
Her personal experience with trauma and human trafficking and its aftermath
The transformative power of self-compassion
