The Power of Choosing Wonder Over Worry
Shoptalk Radio Ep. 97
I’m excited today to bring back Amber Rae, who was a guest about a year ago. Amber explores creativity from the inside out and today we’re talking about wonder over worry and how to quiet your worry and look for the wonder in your creative life.
Amber has been diving deep into the idea of wonder over worry, giving talks on it, gameifying it, and doing all kinds of awesome projects to help her audience find their wonder. She also just launched her new website, where you can sign up for daily clues to help you explore yourself and your creativity.
