About This Podcast

Permission to Play is a podcast for creatives and other humans looking to find their lost mojo (or marbles, as the case may be). Together we explore all things helpful for the care and feeding of the creative soul. Each month I'll feature inspiring conversations with interesting and smart people who somehow manage to put their creativity in the world and stay happy and sane doing so. I chat with writers, actors, filmmakers, plant medicine shamans, nervous system experts and all manner of ordinary, extraordinary people. PLUS occasional solo riffs straight from me to you. Welcome!
