Episode notes
New month, new theme: Let’s chat about Relieving Achieving! In this episode, we meet up with Desmond Denton, an award-winning director and writer to learn about his journey from South African to where he finds himself now in the USA and working globally in his artistic pursuits. From filmmaking to challenges in balancing integrity with societal expectations, the significance of creating from a place of authenticity rather than validation and the importance of structure in creative work, he reminded us of the, and the power of storytelling in connecting communities.
The Feels is all about having those honest conversations, the power of community for personal growth and taking those actionable steps towards being our authentic selves.
