Creativity in Japan with Paige Baldwin Ando

This week on the podcast I’m talking with Paige Baldwin Ando, a creativity coach based in Tokyo. Paige has helped people with novels, paintings, blogs, music and more, through her Whole Self Creative creativity coaching company. If you are feeling creatively stuck in the middle of a project, or don’t know where to start a new project, Paige will give you some great advice on overcoming those creative blocks. 

Also in this episode you’ll hear about an exciting new project I’ve started working on with Lawyer On Air host Catherine O’Connell!
