132: Storytelling & the Creative Process w/ Filmmaker Mimi Lee

Author: Aileen Xu December 22, 2019 Duration: 31:34
What's that story deep down inside of you that needs to be put out into the world? What experiences have you had that need to be shared? Today we're talking about staying authentic to yourself, creative struggles, and telling stories through film. Today's guest is an old friend from my music days, filmmaker Mimi Lee. We both started our creative journeys wanting to be singers, and I love how we both started in the same place but were able to carve our own paths in different creative fields: Mimi in film, and myself in YouTube. But still, we ended up sharing common experiences you can probably relate to: feeling the call to find your Why, learning through persistence and failure, and facing criticism that makes you question your abilities. → Show notes & quotes at lavendaire.com/lifestyle-132 → 2020 Artist of Life Workbook | shop.lavendaire.com
