A Creative Encounter with Juliette Crosbie: From Orange Boots to Bold Truths
Episode Summary:
I met Juliette Crosbie because I wore my orange boots—and thank goodness I did. Our conversation dives deep into what it means to live creatively, how discomfort can be a sign you're on the right path, and why letting your humanity show in your art is never a weakness. Juliette’s honesty, warmth and fierce insight make this one of the most memorable episodes I’ve recorded.
If you’ve ever felt torn between discipline and play, or wondered how to stay authentic when the world demands polish—this one’s for you.
