Seedling Ep 26. How to stop comparing yourself
This week we’re getting into all thing comparison.

In this episode I talk about what burnout is and some techniques that can help…
Seedling Ep 23. Instagram photography and choosing the path of least resistance
This week’s episode is a response to a request I had to talk about Instagram photography. Potentially a little off-topic for me, but I thought I’d share my relationship with photography and why I choose the path of least resistance (i.e. using my phone instead of a fancy camera). I also go through a few things that really helped me the last time I was in a creative rut with…
