Connecting The Dots - Because despite appearances, the dots are not placed at random.
So often it can feel as though our lives should be heading on a clear, direct trajectory - finding our passion and achieving our goals - yet in reality, our path of learning and growth is much more like that of a numberless dot-to-dot picture.It can be really hard to articulate what kind of picture we are creating, because the truth is that it's not until we look back at the end of a particular season that we can really begin to see the beauty we've been slowly cultivating.Think of this podcast as a companion on the journey - I'm busy connecting my own dots of artistry, motherhood and everything in between, and as I share what I am learning, I hope to encourage and inspire you to trust your process and lean in to the journey.Original Artwork - Eleanor Oliver & Cassie HubertOriginal Music - Cassie Hubert.
