Welcome to the third episode of Season 2! Our guest for today is the spectacular voice behind the first seconds of this episode: Krystal Ray. Krystal is a full time lover and liver of life. She is at once Wife, Mom, Educator, Singer, Worship Leader, Entrepreneur at Mary Kay and Beautifly You, and last but not least, Jesus Follower. And Foodie. Today, Krystal and I chat about butterflies, the importance of community, how to practice self care when you’re mom-ing, life-ing, and work-ing all at once, how to create safe spaces even when we didn’t have them as kids, how to attend to family members with completely different creative needs, why cleaning and organization are intensely creative acts–and lots more. You can learn more about Krystal on Instagram at @krystalursula and @beautifly.blessed. You can also contact her at krystalraymusic@gmail.com.
Welcome to episode 2 of season 2! Today’s episode kicks off an exciting new kind of conversation. In my work, I coach creative leaders across all sorts of industries. So for every other episode this season, I'll feature one of these coaching conversations. Today is our first live coaching conversation, featuring Jubilee Chen. Jubilee is a musician, community practitioner, and educator. She is most curious about how wonder and deep friendship change us. Jubilee and I chat about how to make quick, yet heart-centered decisions as a creative at work. We’ll process everything from the day to day of how to prioritize time as a freelancer, to the big picture of what it means to pursue sustainability, set boundaries, and operate in an always-on, hustle culture. You can learn more about Jubilee and her work on her Instagram at @jubileeviolin. And if you’re interested in working with me or exploring what this kind of conversation could look like for you, check out my website at lisaxiaremba.com, or email me at lisa@lisaxiaremba.com.
Welcome to the premiere of SEASON 2! Our guests for today are superpartners, co-creators in life and work: Scott & Louise Walker. Scott and Louise have been friends for 50 years, married for 37 and work partners for the last 25 of those years. They lead Life/Work Direction, a small non-profit where they help people of all ages listen for direction in their work and relational lives. They love good stories and believe every human life has a unique capacity to tell one. Today, we’re chatting about: the difference between art and creativity, how to hold onto wonder and grow young as we age, how learning to dance frees us from having “one right answer” when it comes to finding our calling and our spouse, why staying “unfinished” and “incomplete” makes us more human, why we should regularly walk away from our work, and how to set boundaries in life and marriage. You can learn more about Scott and Louise at lifeworkdirection.org.
Welcome! I can’t believe we’ve made it to Season 2 of Creative in Process! Hi, I’m Lisa, and I’m a podcast host, speaker, Youtuber, and life coach–with a past life in journalism and marketing. Last season of this show was a season of discovery, exploration: cataloging my transition from a season of grinding and living for other peoples’ dreams–into a season where I finally asked myself: what’s my dream? This show was one of the fruits of this journey. ' This year, we’re still figuring out who we are, how to live, how to be...this process is still creative, still fresh, still fun. So let’s stay free.   I'm introducing something a little new and different in Season 2. Every other month, I’ll be bringing on a guest for a live 1:1 coaching session to process a particular creative theme or topic in their lives, as another way for us to see the beauty and diversity of what it means to be creative in the 21st century.  I’ll also be continuing what I’ve done all along: talking with everyday humans like you, from various industries and walks of life, on how to create space to be creative at work and play. Season 2 starts in December! Mark your calendars. Make sure you're subscribed. I hope you’ll join me :)
Cheers to our Season 1 finale!!Today, we're chatting with a very special voice: Joya. Joya is an independent singer-songwriter from Hong Kong who identifies as a third-culture kid, queer, Christian, and a number of other things, but most importantly - “not one thing.” Already gaining recognition for her unique sound and honest approach to songwriting, Joya is quickly making a name for herself as a must-hear artist. Don't miss out on the chance to see Joya live, or stream her latest singles. She is scheduled to release her highly anticipated debut album “SHE IS JOYA” later this year. Joya and I chat about what it’s like to take your creative craft from hobby to profession, how to hold onto who we are across wildly different industries like music and tech, how to give ourselves more credit as creators, and how to give the inner child in us the opportunities to pursue things that make us come alive. PLUS…she shares a stripped down clip of her newest single, “Credit,” released shortly after this conversation was recorded. You can follow Joya on Instagram at @sheisjoya, visit her website at officialjoya.com, check her out on Youtube at @sheisjoya, or visit her on LinkedIn. See you back here in the Fall!
