“I’m NOT qualified for this!”

54 weeks ago today, I had a baby. That baby’s name is Artist Morning. 

For two weeks, I didn’t tell anyone about this beautiful new creation… mostly because I was embarrassed and felt like a total imposter. 

I was embarrassed because Artist Morning was totally different from my regular job as a commercial photographer and cinematographer. 

My inner critic voice was relentless:

“What do I know about making guided meditations?”

“Who am I to try to bring people together as a community?”

So despite how important this was to me, I kept it hidden at home and did not tell the world about it.

Then I spoke to my dear friend who created safety and support for me to dream a little. He helped me imagine what Artist Morning could become. Shout-out to the incredible @chrisassaad, I love you brother!

A few days later, my partner @jlmansell sent me a podcast by @adam.roa and @prestonsmiles. This podcast triggered the hell out of me. It felt like a personal attack on me and my newborn creation. 

And it was exactly what I needed. 

For more on this and the story of Artist Morning, check out the video. 

This video is for anyone out there that has their own newborn creation that feels BIG and scary—especially if you don’t feel qualified.

Big love,
