"Doing your thing, your way" - Talk the Talk x The Creative Rebel

I recently had the joy to join ghostwriter extraordinaire and all-around rebellious creator Odessa Wilson on her LIVE SHOW ‘Talk the Talk'

Success takes the form that you say it does. I’ll say I again. Success takes the form that you say it does. It doesn’t matter what I say, what someone else says; if you say ‘I’m feeling pretty successful today’ you’re a success.

As a person-centric business owner and all-round rebellious so-and-so it’s crucial to me to have the kinds of conversations that don’t just pay lip-service to ‘doing the do’ when you’re running your show.

This space was an incredible way to do that; our 45 minutes flew by as Odessa asked insightful questions and tabled many topics that are dear to me. I’d encourage you to take a minute to watch the show replay, engage in the comments (we’re still keeping an eye on them!) and connect with me.

The 411: What did we cover?


  • Why we need some OOMPH in our businesses and what the hell OOMPH looks like in the first place
  • How and why asking for help can be tough to do (and why we don’t feel like we can when we are self-employed)
  • The number one reason why I don’t take on retainer clients any more
  • Why joy is so important in our creative rebellions and what we might be missing out on if we let our joy slide by the wayside
  • How nobody talks about how hard it is to develop yourself and your business to the point of true flexibility
  • Why community and connection are so important for self-employed creative rebels everywhere
  • The flags you might see that mean you’d benefit from a session with me: there are many, many more than you might think (and they’re not all big, brutish, horrible things either)

There was more nuance to this conversation than any digest list could convey. Get yourself a coffee, fire up the video, and get ready to take on your creative rebellion the only way you know how; YOUR way.


💪 Creative and rebellious?

😰 Stuck in a loop of uncertainty?

❤️ It’s time for some support!
