Episode Title: No Permission Needed

Description:

This episode opens the door to my new art show, No Permission Needed, running at The Art Spirit Gallery in downtown Coeur d’Alene.

These portraits grew out of real stories — women who’ve carried pain, power, and resilience in silence for far too long. The show is built from everything I’ve learned watching the women in my life fight for care, dignity, and the right to be heard.

In this conversation, I talk about the process, the fear, and the purpose behind the work. The imposter syndrome. The late nights. The hope that something honest can still move people.

I also wrote a song called No Permission Needed specifically for this art show — you can watch the full slideshow video and hear the song here: Watch on YouTube.

This project has changed how I see art, leadership, and empathy. It’s personal, raw, and rooted in gratitude for the women who continue to teach me what strength looks like.

Listen in, then come see No Permission Needed during the Art Walk on November 14 at The Art Spirit Gallery.
