Nkechi is a talented multi-hyphenate – neuroscientist, mindfulness expert, choreographer. It's actually one of the reasons I invited her on the show. As a creative person with many interests, how do you bring them all together? Especially at this point in the project where it's not uncommon to lose a little steam (or maybe a lot of steam), how do you draw deeper? Elle says that this is when the project really starts – when you get bored, when you run out of ideas, when you have no idea how to continue – what do you do then? How do you show up for the things that really matter to you?
