Episode 11 – Recollect Better – Curiosity Creates a Feed for Feels

What would the world be like if millions of humans could be supported by technology to consciously choose a life of love rather than fear? Artist, Coach & Strategist, Amy Jones, is obsessed with creating this solution. Insatiably curious about the intersection of technology and humanity – where humanity is irreplaceable by technology and where technology can enhance humanity –  Amy shares “If I were any more obsessed with this project, it would be unhealthy!”

Listen as she shares how the past three years have set her on this course and how she mustered the courage to be an artist after a 20-year hiatus, beginning her entrepreneurial journey. If you’re a recovering perfectionist, you’ll enjoy Amy’s story of the night she created her Progress Maps and how she manages to outwit her “Clever Brain.”

A prolific creator, Amy shares how her experience as a teacher and a coach fueled her frustration with what she calls “one-way conversations” in social media and the limits of individual coaching sessions.

Seeing the opportunity in today’s technology to create something that could help many more people remember who they are, connect to what is true, and consciously make choices from love, she envisioned an app-based solution she now calls Recollect. Be sure to listen through to the end to enjoy the celebration of this first public invitation to join Amy in her vision.

Episode 9 – Stop Shoulding on Yourself + Let Your Art Come Through


Melanie Berry,Informaticist, Tech Guru, Change Manager and Artist, shares how not caring and painting “nothing” led her to stand aside to let art come through and claim herself as an Artist.

What happens when a tech guru spends 18 months in a hotel room learning to watercolor fruit by watching youtube videos? She discovers that she is an acrylic painter who loves neon! Today’s guest, Melanie Berry, shares that “at some point we allow ourselves to let go.”

“I’m learning to be in control of being out of control.” she shares. “I’m old”, she added, “and I am gonna say what I wanna say and do what I want to do – even if it freaks me out!” Would you ever cut up your paintings? Melanie does! Is it possible to paint “nothing”? Melanie does! Can you really paint 6 things at once? Melanie does! Or for only 6 minutes? Melanie does!

Listen in as Melanie introduces us to the art teacher who taught her that no creation is precious and how that allowed her to claim herself as an Artist. She shares her favorite Prayer of Protection, music to create by and quotes to inspire, too – you’ll want to listen ’til the end and write these down, for sure!
