In part 2 of 2, Margo is joined by calligrapher and author, Brittany DeSantis. Brittany is most well known for her focus on mindfulness and the sensory experience of writing and creating: the sound of the pen on the paper, the way the ink flows on the page, the concentration it takes to form each stroke and how to find a "flow" by doing something just beyond your comfort zone. Journaling has become Brittany’s main focus. She pairs art and writing to show others a barrier-free way of expressing themselves and feels the outcome is always less important than the act of creating itself.   Margo and Brittany discuss: Her path from rediscovering her love for art in a watercolor calligraphy class to founding Peak Paper Co Transitioning from an advertising job to full-time artistry How creating simple forms helped her in combating creative block Art as a tool for navigating grief Strategies that Brittany has found to be effective in balancing multiple roles and responsibilities like motherhood and entrepreneurship The value of reaching out for mutually beneficial relationships The importance of creating a supportive space for creativity Finding inspiration from neuroaesthetics and the science-backed benefits of art-making How she overcame imposter syndrome by focusing on teaching beginners Her groundbreaking grief journal proposal and what it’s led to What it’s been like to partner with a renowned brand like Montblanc The therapeutic benefits of art and journaling An upcoming retreat in Portugal that promises to be a haven for creative minds And so much more Connect with Brittany: www.peakpaperco.com www.peakpaperco.com/my-book https://www.amazon.com/Forget-You-Not-Keepsake-Navigating/dp/1958803375 www.instagram.com/peakpaperco   Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill

I stood, brushing off some of the mud that was beginning to cake on—effort in vain. “Since when did this jaded old curmudgeon care to drink the poison of nostalgia?” I remember saying to myself. As you can see, I’m in my late thirties, but the rest of the self-reflection was accurate. I breathed in the muck of the lake once again, tears dried, heart resolute, knowing it could be the last. “Well, Sisyphus,” thankfully, my parents were not so cruel as to name me such, “you know the insanity of the world. Perhaps it is time to embrace the absurd.” Matthew D Albertson Welcome to a new episode of Stories and Stanza! We're excited to have you here. Please join me in welcoming Matthew as a guest. He started writing not long ago but writes beautiful prose and poetry. We will hear him talk about his creative journey, how he believes rejections strengthen him as a writer, and some of his wonderful prose and poetry that he has shared in this discussion.
