As creatives, we can sometimes let fear overwhelm our art, especially when we worry about what everyone else is (or isn’t!) doing. Like, should we try a new technology? Will we be left behind if we don’t use it? What if we don’t utilize it as well as someone else? But, if you put aside your fear, and allow yourself the freedom to create and play, you’ll see amazing results in your work.  In today’s episode, I’m interviewing Twyla Jones, a photographer, educator, and founder of Emotional Storytelling. Twyla shares why we should experiment with our creativity, how to embrace A.I. as a helpful tool, and how to create the art you love without fear. And if you want to hear more from Twyla and how she's embracing AI as part of her photography business, she'll be teaching at our online 2023 Family Retreat!
