Harm or Discomfort? How Artists Tell the Difference

Description

What if the tension you’re feeling in the rehearsal room isn’t just about the work, but about how we define harm and discomfort?

In this solo episode, I explore the growing disconnect in creative spaces and share a practical tool, the Stoplight System, to help you tune into your body, name what’s really happening, and respond with care. From personal stories to questions that can shift entire conversations, this episode invites you to lead with more clarity, courage, and compassion.

This one’s tender, honest, and so needed right now.

Enjoy the episode, friends!
