• The Interview: Finding Communion with Laura Edralin

  In the final episode of the series Tricia speaks to calligrapher, artist, creative coach and community builder Laura Edralin. Growing up in an artistic household Laura has always had creativity in the blood, but it wasn’t until later in life and leaving a well-established career that she discovered calligraphy. First as a form of recovery and healing, and second as a passion that grew into a business, Laura tells Tricia about how her love of letters has transformed her life and many others. What can we gain from slowing down? From trying something new with others? From vulnerability?Mentioned in this episode:Follow Laura on Instagram on @lauraletterslife and her podcast @thelifeoflettersCheck out Alphabetical by Michael RosenWintering by Katherine MayYou’re Dead to Me podcastRebel Ideas by Matthew SyedSupport me with a donation Hosted on Acast.

• Letting go of your art

  Why is it so hard to let go? Creating communion with your own art is magnificent, but it makes the act of saying goodbye so much harder.

• Why your friends don't support your creativity

  Is it them, or is it me? This is the question many creatives ask themselves as they advance on their creative journeys. Tricia explores the reasons why your friends might not be giving you their undying support and how to navigate that tension. Is there any way to overcome the hurt it causes?
