The Morgan Harper Nichols Show

Today I am talking with Johanna of @chalkandleaves! Johanna is an illustrator, business-owner, and full-time occupational therapy master's student. She started Chalk and Leaves at the end of 2019, and it took off quite unexpectedly in directions she never imagined. Now, she takes things day-by-day and spends her time either illustrating, shipping Etsy orders, learning how to be a good occupational therapist, or re-watching the same three TV shows over and over again. As an artist, Johanna loves creating fun enneagram doodles, advocacy-centered art, and body positivity pieces. She aspires to one day illustrate a children's book, while also working with kiddos as an OT.  Johanna on Instagram Johanna's website Johanna on Etsy --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/morganharpernichols/message

This was supposed to be a five-minute episode, but I ended up just sharing some of my unscripted, raw thoughts on yesterday. In short, I talk a lot about how the only way we are going to look forward is by looking back and taking a close look at what to do and what not to do. I talk about how I don't think "do your own research" is enough and we need to go deeper than that. Thanks for joining me today. And lately, if you are having a tough time right now, you are not alone.

Today, I am chatting with Hugette Montesinos about living life with intention, the deeper meaning of color, and creating a roadmap to guide you through those moments where you feel stuck. This conversation inspired me to remember what draws me to color...sure, it's about the aesthetics, but there's so much more. Hugette's work is a wonderful reminder of this reality!

I think one of the biggest myths about creativity is that it's all about making art. In reality, creativity is about the process and everything we learn while trying to make something new, no matter what the final product looks like. Creativity is a way to share a message we truly care about that otherwise may not have been heard. Creativity is a form of illuminating what’s important that gets easily looked over or forgotten. Creativity is many things, and for NIKKOLAS SMITH, creativity is a place where he has found peace. NIKKOLAS is an Artivist, children's book author, a Hollywood film illustrator whose work serves as an invitation into conversations and stories that are worthy of illumination.

In today’s episode with Courtney Burg, we talk about roadblocks. We talk about the things that get in the way in life, work, and relationships. In the moment, it can feel like the circumstances or emotions that keep us stuck are permanent. In that place, Courtney’s writing serves as a graceful, yet direct tool to show us that even when the roadblocks slow us down, and even when they go on for miles and miles, perhaps, there is still a way around it. We can still make it through. Perhaps, there is still room to work through all of the things we thought would hold us back.  - Morgan Harper Nichols Listen to our conversation on… Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcasts Other ways to listen Courtney Burg Courtney Burg’s website Courtney Burg on Instagram Courtney Burg on Facebook Referenced in the episode: Courtney’s post that Morgan mentioned: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAhGyMntPN/?igshid=3y9lis6wz122 The book Morgan mentioned: To Bless The Space Between Us by John O’Donohue The book Courtney mentioned: Educated by Tara Westover --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/morganharpernichols/message
