Curtain Call & Coffee Breaks: When the Stage Isn’t Your Whole Story30 Sep 202500:39:58

 

Curtain Call & Coffee Breaks: When the Stage Isn’t Your Whole Story

In this lighthearted and empowering episode, I invite listeners to explore the emotional and creative shifts that come with stepping away from the stage. Through personal stories, playful insights, and practical advice, I share what it feels like to transition from a life of performance to a life of purpose beyond the spotlight. I reflect on the funny and unexpected moments that signaled my own pivot—from rehearsing pitch decks to finding joy in quiet creativity—and offers five playful signs that you might be ready for your own offstage chapter. Learn how to build a “creative life portfolio,” embrace new roles, and redefine success on their own terms. Bri reminds us that artistry is portable—it lives in our choices, our voice, and our everyday brilliance. 

A cozy shoutout to Thrive Market and I invite brands and creatives to sponsor Harbour for the Arts. Whether you’re a performer in transition or a creative soul seeking clarity, this episode is a warm, witty reminder that your story doesn’t end when the curtain falls—it simply changes scenes.

Podmas 15 Harmonizing the Holidays: Decluttering and Organizing Tips31 Dec 202300:10:50

Organizing after the holidays and before the New Year can help set a positive tone for the upcoming months and create a sense of clarity and renewal. Here are some tips to help you declutter, prioritize, and prepare for the year ahead:

Reflect and Review: Take some time to reflect on the past year, acknowledging your accomplishments, lessons learned, and areas for growth. Review your goals and priorities, and identify what worked well and what needs adjustment as you plan for the New Year.

Declutter and Organize: Start by decluttering your living and workspaces, including holiday decorations, unwanted gifts, and any items that no longer serve a purpose or bring joy. Organize your belongings, create designated spaces for essential items, and consider donating or recycling items you no longer need.

Set Clear Intentions: Define your priorities and set clear intentions for the New Year. Whether it's personal development, career goals, health and wellness, or relationships, articulate your vision and establish actionable steps to help you stay focused and motivated throughout the year.

Create a Plan: Develop a plan or schedule to help you stay organized and manage your time effectively. Break down your goals into manageable tasks, set deadlines, and establish routines that align with your priorities and support your overall well-being.

Podmas Ep. 9 Kwanzaa Create Kujichagulia in Our Music and Creativity31 Dec 202300:00:08

Lets talk about a few ways you can practice the second principal of Kwanzaa Kujichagulia as a practice in our own musicianship and creativity. Practicing Kujichagulia (self-determination) in music involves asserting one's cultural identity, creativity, and self-expression within the musical realm. This can be achieved by:

  • Creating music that reflects your cultural heritage and personal experiences.
  • Composing and performing music that empowers and uplifts your community.
  • Collaborating with like-minded artists to promote self-determination and cultural pride through music.
  • Using music as a platform to address social issues and advocate for self-determination and empowerment.
  • Fostering mentorship and educational programs to pass on musical traditions and encourage self-expression within your community.

How to Rediscover Your Identity After the Stage23 Sep 202500:26:54

Takeaways

 

The transition from performing can lead to an identity crisis.

It's important to rediscover who you are outside of performance.

Community support is crucial for artists during transitions.

Reinvention is not betrayal; it's an expansion of self.

Connecting with nature can help ground and inspire creativity.

Surround yourself with people who reflect your true essence.

Journaling can be a powerful tool for self-discovery.

Embrace new roles outside of your artistic lane.

It's okay to feel lost; give yourself time to adjust.

Your offstage life can be just as fulfilling as your onstage life.

Podmas 8 Principle 1 of Kwanzaa: Umoja29 Dec 202300:06:27

I went to my first Kwanzaa celebration about 20 years ago. In my family we usually celebrate Junkanoo and Boxing Day so going to a Kwanzaa celebration was new to me. It was such a beautiful event filled with so much hope. The wonderful thing about Kwanzaa is you do not have to feel intimidated by it. I have been to Kwanzaa gatherings where the entire community gathers and people of all races participate. Below are a few books to help you learn more about  Kwanzaa.
