I came to this work out of my own experience. I dreamed of being a musician - a rockstar actually - and then I got caught up in what other people wanted and expected of me. I spent years doing a job I hated so I could afford things I was “supposed” to have and do. I'd tell myself I didn't have time to do things that I love, didn't have enough money to do what I wanted, or that I would upset people if I lived my dreams instead of their fears.

Then I found the Artist's Way (among many other invaluable resources and teachers) and learned how to let myself live again. I approached my fears and hesitations with care, but soon found they were unfounded. I let myself do silly things like buy a LEGO set (as a 32 year old man! 😱), watch dumb action movies, and write and perform a song about eating ass. I went camping by myself in the Sierra Nevadas, did a 650-mile bike ride, performed an original song in front of 1,000+ people, and met my fiance while journaling at my local pub.

I make no promises about what you will get out of this work. What I promise is we'll find ways for you to begin living your dreams instead of other people's fears, and then you'll find out what adventures await you!
