This is the Her Process Bonus Episode! This micro pod is like a seven minute P.S. to Episode 38 with singer, songwriter, Maya. I’m asking Maya twelve questions that pertain to artists of all disciplines. And I have to tell you, she made the best argument in favor of having representation I’ve heard yet! In fact, all of Maya’s answers are thoughtful, and so much fun. Want more? Check out Maya’s pages on herprocess.com after the show. And now, here’s some quick inspiration with Maya!

Today, I’m chatting with singer, songwriter, Maya. Maya started her musical career as a child, improvising blues on stage with her dad at the tender age of 11. Her current style is electric jazz, and you’ll get a taste of just what that means at the end of the show. During our time together, Maya shares her experience of being on The Voice, Australia, and what it taught her about the music industry and about performing. She also tells us why she recommends other artist go on shows, such as the voice, and at what stages in an artist’s career she feels these types of shows would be most beneficial. We talk social media, and the reasons why she doesn’t place too much emphasis on it. Maya takes us through her lyric and song writing process. We talk about booking gigs, and how she goes about it. And she has some great advice for artists who are just starting to pursue their careers full time. The episode you're about to hear is filled with so much good stuff, and you'll get to hear one of Maya's songs at the end o

Today I have the pleasure of chatting with Amy Crosby, of the band Shitting Glitter. Yes, you heard me right, Shitting Glitter. Her band was part of the LA music scene for years, and now she is firmly rooted in Long Beach (just south of LA), which she says is a very supportive community for artists of all genres. As an artist who has been at it for years, Amy gives us insight into the incarnations of a musician and her band. How band mates have come and gone (not from her life, but from the band), and how she’s come to the conclusion that it’s best to play with professional musicians that she brings into her band, rather than people who she relates to every day. As of late, Shitting Glitter was on a little break, and in that time Amy’s been painting. She’s gone from someone who had never painted to someone who’s painted over 200 paintings in two years, and who’s work is showing in a gallery! And now, Amy’s back in the music scene, and her latest project, the Nasty Woman Concert Series, is happening this Satur

It’s the Her Process Bonus Episode! This edition features comic book artist and author, Yumi Sakugawa. Just after recording episode 36, I asked Yumi to stick around and answer twelve questions that pertain to artists of all disciplines. Her answers were so unique and awesome that at some points, I actually had to force myself to move on and not dive into those answers. I mean, it’s a 5 minute micro-pod after all! For photos and fun facts about Yumi that aren't mentioned on the show, pop on over to www.herprocess.com and look for episode 36.

Today I’m chatting with comic book artist and author, Yumi Sakugawa. I personally have several of Yumi’s books, including I Think I Am In Friend – Love With You, Your Illustrated Guide To Becoming One With The Universe, There Is No Right Way To Meditate, and her latest …The Little Book Of Life Hacks, How to Make Your Life Happier, Healthier, and More Beautiful. And her comics! Yumi writes and draws feelings…feelings that we’ve all experienced. Her stories spring up around these deep truths, and I think that’s why, at least for me, once I started reading her work, I craved more. It’s like Yumi just gets me. :) She puts the human experience on paper. And in talking with her here on the show, and getting a glimpse into how she creates, I understand why her words and drawings evoke that sense of familiarity wrapped up in something that is just so magical. We talk books, comics, zines, traditional publishing, self publishing, tools of the trade, inspiration, and really, so much more! I’m super excited to share wit

This is a micro pod that’s like a 10-ish minute P.S. to Episode 35 with singer, songwriter, Shelley Segal. I ask Shelley twelve questions that I ask each of my guests, regardless of discipline. It’s fun to see how their answers differ, and how they don’t! Want more?

As artists, we can all agree that whatever we’re passionate about in life influences our work. It’s what our art is based on, really. Today's guest's story illustrates this point beautifully. I'm delighted to be chatting with singer, songwriter, Shelley Segal. Now, a lot of us are taught not to talk about religion or politics in polite company. Well, one of those topics comes up in today’s episode. And I’m going to say a word now, that I’ll admit, as someone who was raised in the Christian faith, has always made me a little uncomfortable. The word is Atheism. My guest today, has been called the “pin-up girl for the Atheist movement”. And I have to tell you, that her genuine caring for all people, just the love for humanity you can feel when you’re talking with her...well, I don't know what I expected exactly, or was taught to believe about Atheists. I will tell you that what I see in Shelley is the kind of person I hope I am.  Raised in a Jewish family, Shelley opens up about questioning certain beliefs, th

You know her from Days of Our Lives, Guiding Light, the Emmy award winning web series Venice, and so much more. I’m talking about Emmy Award winning actress, Crystal Chappell. And if it sounds like I use the word "Emmy" a lot in this intro, it's because this hard working lady has three of them! She acts, produces, directs, and I'm so grateful that she made the time to be on the podcast. What you’re about to hear is a wonderful, caffeine fueled chat, where we cover a lot in a fairly short amount of time. We talk about how and why Crystal got into acting. She gives us a sense of how she approaches the craft and the characters she’s played. We cover her web series and how she’s been leading the way in the new media arena, and navigating the various pieces of that puzzle. And, we discuss her feature film, A Million Happy Nows, and so much more!

This week's micro podcast runs a little over fifteen minutes and features so many little gems from milliner, Shurie Southcott. The questions I'm asking Shurie in this episode pertain to artists of all disciplines. Think of this as a short and sweet P.S. to my full length chat with Shurie from last week.

Today I’m chatting with milliner, Shurie Southcott. We start our conversation by discussing the history and the importance of hats through the decades, and we ponder how and when they fell out of fashion in most of the US (with the exception of the south), and Shurie tells us how she’s doing her part to usher hat wearing and the hat experience, and everything it represents, back into fashion. She tells us how she became a milliner, where she gets her inspiration, and lets us in on what goes into the making of hats as far as the process, the fabrics and materials she uses, the different styles, how she charges for her art…and so much more! And she gives tips on how you can ease into becoming a hat person! And maybe even a hat maker!

If you’re a regular listener, then today’s guest is going to be familiar to you. I’ve asked letterpress printer and calligrapher, Nariné Riley, from waaaay back in episode 29, to come back on the show. The last time she was on, I got so into talking about letterpress, that I didn’t ask her everything I wanted to know about calligraphy! She graciously accepted my invitation to come back on, and today we’re giving calligraphy the attention it deserves. From friends commenting on her pretty handwriting, to taking it to the next level by taking a calligraphy class, to how she sensed progress starting to happen, Nariné takes us on her continuing journey in calligraphy. She also explains the difference between traditional calligraphy and modern calligraphy, and tells us where the, super popular on Instagram, brush lettering fits in. She has the best hint as far as a tool for practicing your calligraphy, and she shares her online resources for materials, courses, and community. We talk about everything from developi

It's the Her Process bonus episode! Musician, Leah Capelle is back to answer twelve questions that I ask of all my guests. Think of this episode as a P.S. to episode 31, where Leah breaks down what it's like to be an artist in a rapidly changing music industry. If you missed it, you can catch up and see photos and fun facts about Leah at www.herprocess.com. Today, Leah talks about those pre-show jitters, and why she appreciates them. She speaks honestly about creative and emotional block. And, we chat about wheat types of representation she thinks would be most valuable to her at this stage of her career. There's a lot of good stuff in this little 15ish minute episode. Enjoy!

In this episode I’m chatting with musician, Leah Capelle. I asked Leah about the importance of vocal training, and guys, I have to say, her answer was fascinating! You’ll want to hear this…it’s really cool and might change the way you listen to and look at your favorite vocalists. Leah is an artist who is very business savvy. In fact, she’s studying the business and legal aspects of the music industry at USC to be able to help herself, and maybe even help others. Talk about a great left brain, right brain balance! And I especially loved listening to Leah talk about her latest song, and how it really came together once she brought it to her band. She talks about the process of bringing it to life, and really illustrates the inner workings of a musician and her band. We talk about the importance of doing a music video, and the importance of audio, audio visual, and social media for today’s artists.  And just how do musicians make money from their music these days? And what’s the future of the music industry? We

Today I’m chatting with the Hoopie Awards 2017 Hooper of the Year, USA, Morgan Jenkins. Morgan gave me a quick hooping lesson before recording this episode, and it really got my blood pumping! I totally understand why hooping is called a movement meditation. During the show, Morgan explains exactly what that means, and she talks about ambient hooping as part of the flow arts. It's so refreshing to talk to an artist who is all about being inclusive. Morgan is part of a hoop troupe called Hooptown Hotties, and their motto is “you can hoop with us.” Don't you just love that? Using her background as a camera assistant in the TV and film industry, Morgan and the Hooptown Hotties make amazing hooping videos. She shares a bit about the ladies’ video making process, choreography, and creative motivation. …And she tells us the route she recommends for learning hooping. We also talk social media, and how Morgan, aka Miss Mojangles, has utilized it to further her hooping career, while remaining true to herself, even onl

I'm so excited to introduce you to letterpress printer and calligrapher, Nariné Riley. Nariné tells us how the love of writing cards, and making her own cards led to a career in stationery and the art of letterpress. She works with a machine from the 1880s, and explains just what goes into making all of the beautiful cards you’ll find in her online shop, The Grits. Nariné has experience working in stationery and paper stores, which paper lovers and letter writers will definitely recognize. She fielded submissions from artists and makers, and now she’s the artist selling her product to shops. She shares a bit of her knowledge from both sides of the fence, and gives some tips on how to turn your art into a business. And for all of you lovers of calligraphy, Nariné shares how she got her start doing calligraphy and how she’s incorporated it into her business.   The thing that stood out to me throughout my chat with Nariné is how much she has loved every step of the learning process in both of these arts, and how
