How do you have fun and stay social these days?
How do you make new friends as an adult?
Who do you share your random passions with?
Last episode, I offered you 3 Things for Your Creative Resistance Tool Kit. One of those things was a live event called Show and Tell for Grown Ups. This week I have brought you the human behind the event, Mary Doctor of Tell Me Why It's Cool.
We are talking about…
- Shifting perspective from dead bird to grilled chicken
- Creating a welcoming social environment that doesn't center drinking or networking
- Audience participation and setting effective rules of engagement (i.e. how not to be a dick)
- Joy, fun & conversation to combat the uncertainty of the future
- Startup mentality, resilience, and what to do when it gets hard
- Inclusivity and human Connection
Plus... I may or may not have left in a brief conversation about AI in Art and Content Creation — I can't remember — I think I blocked it out!

Sometimes the work is hard.
Or maybe the work is rewarding but the context is hard.
And we need to reset our nervous system, rediscover joy in human connection, and remember that progress is still happening even when it feels like society is tumbling backward.
What you read, watch, attend, join, share, listen to (you get the idea) MATTERS. I'm offering you 3 things that are helping me enjoy connecting with others through creative projects and seeking out inspiration to combat the overwhelming feelings in today's socio-political climate.
