Nicole Miyuki: Choosing Possibility Over Fear - a podcast by Lara Dalch

“I’ve learned to say yes to things that scare me, and to be in tune with myself and really understand if it’s the right thing for me or not.” -Nicole Miyuki

Nicole Miyuki is a freelance artist, graphic designer, teacher, and the author of two hand lettering books - By Hand: The Art of Modern Lettering and The Kids’ Book of Hand Lettering. 

In 2015, Nicole began teaching in-person workshops to students who were curious about the hand lettering craze. In 2018, she wrote and published her two books – a journey that was quite unexpected. We had such a great conversation about mindfulness, creating space, and human connection.

We also talked about…

• How Nicole’s unexpected experience of writing two books in a year helped her get more in touch with herself and her self-care needs
• The simple (but not easy) perspective shift that allows you to be open to possibility instead of making decisions from fear
• How to know when to plan and when to leave space for the unexpected, in life and in work
• How creative pursuits like hand lettering can be a mindfulness practice (especially for people who don’t like meditation)
