In this episode, the main focus is how we can master the art of imperfection. I discuss the artistry of creativity, the reality of of being an independent artist, the balancing act of the corporate and creative worlds, the many faucets of mental health, self esteem, courage and soooo much more with the talented Ria Davidson, aka Ria Ima.  We refer to the old saying of 'being a jack of all trades' and even after the post-recording of this episode, we still refer back to the full phrase which is “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” By fully embracing the essence of being a master of imperfection in our attempts of simply being brave enough to try something out, we are able to embrace the learning of getting it wrong in order to get it right by our own standards. Ria Ima is an independent artist from North Wales flitting between the corporate and creative worlds through the medium of writing, music, video and art. With a strong interest in mental health and human evolution, Ria is on a journey of exploration that powers her ideas and artistry. Her first single ‘Excuses’ and its accompanying video, both released in 2021, is an outburst of emotions that expresses her experiences with social anxiety and the impact it has on relationships and friendships. As a self-taught artist and singer, she is an advocate for the journey being the most joyful part of any learning process, something she herself had to learn as she battled that human need to be so called ‘perfect’.
