Nicole Cifani

The Downward Facing Spiritual Spiral

What happens to the raw intimacy of the creative process thanks to technology and social media? Can they co-exist or is the intoxicating and addictive allure of tech a dark cloud that ultimately dampens the creative process? Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I'm thrilled to welcome growth marketer, writer and teacher, Nicole Cifani to the show. Nicole is the Senior Director of Growth Marketing at Thistle, she is a fiction writer and she is also a teacher at The Writers Studio. For years, Nicole has written about the arts and the impact of technology on our culture. Her writing has been featured in Thrive and Flavorpill and she is also a fervent fan of music. Nicole and I talk about the intimacy of the creative process, the ups and down that come in the midst of writing a book and she shares personal anecdotes about how she stays disciplined as a writer. We chat about her love for music and to this day why music has been such a valuable part of her life. We talk about finding "value" in creativity, where inspiration comes from and we talk about finding ways to allow tech and creativity to peacefully intermingle with one another. Nicole talks about what to expect from her class at the Writer's Studio, she shares stories about her own creative process and what inspired her to begin writing fiction. It's a wonderful and inspiring talk and be sure to find Nicole online at nicolecifani.com or consider taking her writing class by visiting writerstudio.com Remember, if you enjoy today's episode and you want to support the show, please subscribe to the podcast on iTUNES.
