and the curtains rise!

Yup, it’s true! The new site is all set up and ready to go. Why don’t you head over and take a peek?

And with that, my time here at Wicked Whimsy is done, at least for the moment. I might come back and use this website or domain name for something else eventually – I definitely want to keep ownership of it – but I’m starting a new chapter of things and with that comes the new website. I am keeping the archives up for posterity, of course, and out of sheer fondness for this website – it’s taken me a long way!

So if you wanna keep getting updated, head on over to Let’s Radiate and put it in your RSS reader/bookmarks/sign up for the email list.

That’s all, folks!

the times, they are a-changin’

This entire year has been a whirlwind for me – sometimes incredibly tough, sometimes jaw-droppingly amazing, always moving forward at a breakneck speed. The last month or so has been a great example of that, with the intensity of Action Studio followed up by WDS – totally awesome but I’ll admit I’m left reeling in…

world domination with a side of dancing: #WDS recap

Me & Dagmar at the afterparty photobooth I just spent the last weekend in Portland, OR, surrounded by beautiful weather (weather like we haven’t seen here in Austin since April or so!) and 500 wonderfully creative, inspiring, kind, all-around amazing people, soaking up the energy like a sponge. It was a totally amazing event, my…

the self care toolbox

You’ll remember that I took most of April off to help with the severe burnout I was experiencing after the double-whammy that was SXSW + launching Take Back Your Creativity. Simply taking the time off helped things a lot, but one of my goals for the month was to get some sort of self-care framework…

vain & vapid priorities, consumerism & minding your own damn business

One of my favorite blogging comrades is the lovely Ashe Mischief of Dramatis Personae. She’s a kind person & always has an intelligent thought to add to any discussion, as well as being freaking hilarious (and having good taste to boot!). I saw her tweeting yesterday about how she had been getting haterade for this post…

Flash Sale on Take Back Your Creativity!

Edited to add: Hell yes! I’m officially in the Studio. There was dancing and laughing and telling the world that I love it and everyone in it. I’m going to go ahead & leave this offer up & going until Sunday night, though, and make it an impromptu Mother’s Day sale. Offer closes at midnight…

Monthly Missive: April

Whew. April was…intense. Anyone else feel that? A month full of epiphanies and turbulence that culminated in a week of being sick as a dog (okay, three days of being sick as a dog with a few days of general ickiness on either side). I think it may have been an upper limit thing, which…

Review & Giveaway: Find Your Strongest Life

I don’t remember where I first saw it, but when I first read anything about Find Your Strongest Life I’m fairly certain I reacted with an epic eye-roll. Most of the information I’d seen seemed to lead with information about how women today are much less happier than they used to be, despite the obvious…

attention amplifies

I recently finished reading Find Your Strongest Life by Marcus Buckingham. I totally loved it, for the most part, & have a review (and psst, maybe a giveaway, just sayin’ – keep your eyes peeled) coming up soon. One of the things he mentions is something that’s been a theory of my own for a…
