In this episode I share the concept I created this year of 'creative discipline.'

I describe my process of choosing this year's 'word of the year' and how it turned into putting 2 words together. Life is a dance of sorts, one where every step counts, bringing us closer to a life that's as disciplined as it is delightfully unpredictable.

Let's talk about turning the tedious into the terrific. This episode is about connecting the dots between our drives and our dreams, and finding that sweet spot where discipline fuels our creativity, not stifles it.

In this episode we talk about the role that failure plays in personal growth and success.

We'll also talk about re-framing our journeys in a way that helps us move forward with the ability to navigate obstacles and failures.
