18 Slow Mornings and Life-Changing Fiction with Writer McKenna Kyllo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SHOW NOTES Word of the Year: Slow and Joy McKenna Kyllo spent years as a high-achieving entrepreneur — building, striving, and slowly losing touch with a creative calling she'd carried since childhood. When life brought her to a crossroads, she made the countercultural choice to slow down. What followed was unexpected: space for her marriage, space for her faith, and space for the childhood dream she'd nearly talked herself out of — writing life-changing fiction that shapes readers the way the b
17 Word of the Year Reflection Exercise #2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SHOW NOTES Your word of the year growth doesn't move at the same pace all year — and neither does your Vision Board, your list of desired outcomes, or that book you thought you'd be further along writing by now.

14 Artist Finds Daily Bread for the Creative Soul with Jeremy Wells (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SHOW NOTES Focus Word: Daily Bread Jeremy Wells has lived in 10 states and Japan. He's been a small business owner, a professional artist, a farmer, and at one point, homeless. He knows what it means to succeed — and to wonder where his next meal is coming from. Life didn't go according to plan. And for nearly seven years, that included not creating art. What brought him back wasn't a portfolio or a plan. It was a job application at Trader Joe's — and a hiring manager who called to ask if the pe
