Raise Your Hand Say Yes With Tiffany Han

Oh how I adore Stephanie Lee! I could talk with her for hours and am thrilled to have her on this week's episode of Raise your Hand Say Yes. Stephanie and I covered so much in this episode, including how to deal with fear, working towards your big dreams even when you don't "feel like it," and being open to change, even when it's wholly inconvenient. Can anyone relate? (Hi. I can. Yes.) We also talked about creative habits and how to get the work done already!  Thank you, Stephanie! You are a joy!  Show Notes: Connect with Stephanie: Website | Shop | Instagram Brené Brown Don Miguel Ruiz the Pomodoro Technique The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg Change Anything book Martha Beck

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I am excited to bring you an interview with Stefanie Renee and Liz Kalloch, the artists behind the new (real-life, hold it in your hands!) Mabel Magazine. I love what Stef and Liz have created with this magazine and wanted to get the behind-the-scenes story of creating something so involved! We talk about so much in this episode, including managing collaborations, just starting already!, building community, and telling the truth. We also talk about what it's like to combine your passions into a Big Thing and how to separate out a friendship from a work relationship.

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I was thrilled to chat with Caroline Kelso Winegeart, the creative genius behind Made Vibrant. I met Caroline at ALT in 2013 and have been following her work ever since. I'm a huge fan and she is so fun to talk to! Caroline and I covered so much in this episode, including starting new things, creative evolution, values, letting go of what looks good on paper, and keeping your eye on the prize. We also talk about confidence, "future-tripping," and how to get out of your own head. It's a good one! Thank you, Caroline!

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I was thrilled to chat with my friend, Jen Hewett. Jen is an HR Consultant by day and a textile designer and artist by weekend and night and all the time in between.  What I thought would be a conversation about paying the bills quickly turned into a conversation about everything else, including finding your own creative community, something that I hear so many people say they are craving! We also talked about how to find time to make your creative work and what to do when things go wrong.  Show Notes: Connect with Jen: Website | Blog | Shop | Twitter | Instagram Jen's 52 Weeks of Printmaking Project Jen's new collection Jen's Kickstarter   Jen's Block Printing E-Course

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I’m interviewing one of my favorite people in the world!  Michelle Ward, the When I Grow Up Coach, was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about letting go of dreams.  If you don't know Michelle's story, it's a good one! She went from having dreams of being a Broadway Baby to building her own career coaching business. Hear all about how she let go of one dream in favor of another and the turning points that got her to where she is today!  We also talk about the joy and burdens of being a multi-passionate person and how you can use that to create your own dream career.  Love you, Michelle! xoxo Show Notes: Connect with Michelle: Website | Blog | Facebook | Twitter  Parkinson's Law The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey The Declaration of You!  My post: Why quitting your day job is not the answer.  Michelle's post: 20 jobs in 7 years.  Michelle's CreativeLive course: Create Your Dream Career Lesley DeSantis The Renaissance Soul by Ma

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I’m interviewing one of my creative heros, Leigh Standley of Curly Girl Design about all things creative business related. I've been a fan of Leigh's work for years (you get to hear me geeking out at the beginning of the episode) and was so excited to have her on the show.  In this episode, we talk about one of Leigh's early experiences with the raise your hand, say yes philosophy. You'll also learn what she learned from her mom and how she's handled situations that haven't gone her way. Hint: she didn't give up hope or quit. You'll also learn her advice for someone wanting to get a start in the stationery biz.  Show Notes: Connect with Leigh and Curly Girl Design: Website | Blog | Instagram | Twitter Marmalade - Leigh's brick and mortar boutique Emily McDowell

This week on Raise your Hand Say Yes, I'm interviewing one of my favorite bloggers, Elise Blaha Cripe about starting before you're ready. Elise is a powerhouse at making things happen and I was so excited for the chance to go behind the scenes of her process!  In this episode, we talk about Elise's motto "Just start." and how that fuels the creative work that she does! We also talk about overcoming perfectionism, escaping fear, getting vulnerable, and staying productive.

In this episode of the podcast, Tara Mohr and I talk about what playing big means for women and what it actually looks like (you may be surprised!). We also talk about how praise can be just as damaging as criticism, what self-care really means, and how to focus on service first. We also dive into the topic of fear and how you can move past it towards what you want for your life.  It's time to change the world y'all. Let's hop to it. (Um. No pressure.)

This week, it's all about feeling the fear and doing it anyways! We talk about staying inspired, cultivating creative habits, what to do with fear, and how to approach the ugly phase that comes along with every creative endeavor. We also talk about the pros and cons of art school. I love hearing about Mati's first foray into the publishing world (talk about brave, y'all!) and her secret life in South America.
