In this inaugural episode, Jess talks with her friend, Sara Bareilles, about the connections between our Dominant Stories and our creativity.

You may know Sara as the songwriter for the hit Broadway musical, “Waitress”, and you have definitely heard her breakout single, “Love Song”. In this conversation, Sara opens up about how she navigates taking big creative risks while staying grounded to her “muse” and her mental health.

Sara is candid about how our internal negative thoughts can become intertwined with our identity, and how success often does not equal happiness.

Jess and Sara tackle self-confidence and staying true to one’s self in an industry often focused on conformity, and they share a dynamic and joyful conversation about how creativity can bring people together and really make life worth living.
