Dear Readers and Listeners,

THINGS OF NOTE :

A new episode of Common Shapes just went live—ready for you in whatever podcast container you like to listen in.

This one’s a peek behind the curtain: how I’m mapping my business for the fall. I share my podcast and business goals (and how they’re actually in collaboration with each other).

You’ll hear me walk through the three-part system I’m leaning on—what I call a practice-based earning ecosystem. Think of it as the scaffolding I return to when I want to create income, stay steady, and still make art.

It’s part strategy, part story, and hopefully a reminder that you don’t have to hustle harder—you just need the right map.

Jump on in and give the show a rating, a review, or share it with a friend.

The Long Arc meets live on Zoom, Saturday, October 4 at 12pm EST.

This class is a continuation of The Creative Ideation Portal—but zoomed out. Together, we’ll focus on how to stay consistent with one specific project over the long term. We’ll notate the rituals and practices that actually support you, so you can keep returning to the work without burning out.
