In this episode, I am joined by Pia Leichter.

Pia is a creative partner, the founder of Kollektiv Studio, and the author of the best-selling book Welcome to the Creative Club.

During our conversation, Pia shared about her journey from consistently moving from place to place for most of her life and then finally deciding to settle down in one place and the personal growth that has come from that decision.

We had beautiful conversations about topics such as the power of changing your name and aging.

She shared a lot of her insight about the creative process, what stops us in our creativity, and what we can do to become unblocked when this occurs.

She also spoke in depth about the beauty of living in uncertainty because this is where we can access infinite possibility.

If you are wanting to access your creativity on a deeper level, or you are needing some help getting unblocked in the creative process, this episode will help you.

Enjoy the episode!

This is a one time deal, this thing called life. And we all have a hidden expiration date. And when you go, you lose it all, so what do you really have to lose while you’re here?- Pia Leichter

Uncertainty is the realm of infinite possibility. It’s part of the creative process. When we sit down to create anything, we don’t know what we’re going to create. It wouldn’t be very creative if we did.

Separating what we are creating and making real in the world from what we are is not the way.
