The Artist's Way at 40: One Woman's Unexpected Second Act | Calleen De Oliveira, Ep. 12

About this episode

Molly Wipperfurth discusses the impact of 'The Artist's Way' with guest Calleen De Oliveira, who transformed her life after leaving a long advertising career.

You’re good at your job, you’re juggling everything, and somewhere underneath all of it there’s a quiet question you haven’t answered yet: what do I actually want to do next? The problem isn’t that you don’t know how to work hard — it’s that no one ever taught you how to listen to yourself. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this episode, Molly shares how The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron kept showing up in her life right when she needed it — and why that’s not as mystical as it sounds. Then she brings in Calleen De Oliveira, who used this exact book in her 40s to leave a 25-year advertising career, go to nursing school, and build a life she is proud of. What came out of those morning pages surprised even Calleen — and it went far beyond a career change. Plus: Molly announces the first Her Intentional Reset Experience: The Artist’s Way Creative Cluster, and is giving away eight copies of the book to listeners who want to join. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: [01:15] The three-day sequence that convinced Molly this book was worth paying attention to — and the neuroscience that explains why it happened [06:52] What The Artist’s Way actually is — and why it’s not just for people who want to paint [13:22]…
