What's Another Year!?

19 Dec 2025

Description

Season 2 finale!

They share what they're keeping from the season, get honest about what flopped, and give a sneak peek into Season 3. This is the podcast for creative souls building their dreams messily, imperfectly, but persistently and from the heart.Topics CoveredThe Power of Community – Why the Bloomsbury Group episode changed everything and the science behind why we need each other (mirror neurons, 50% survival rate increase)The Amber Effect – How the conversation with voice coach Amber McCathy inspired both hosts to sing more and launch creative projectsVictory Dance Science – Why celebrating small wins builds momentum for bigger successMindfulness & Flow – Maria's upcoming book "The Mindful Songwriter" and creating space for creativityTiny Experiments – Small steps that lead to big changes (reading, guitar, sketching, Christmas calendar)Workshop Honesty – The flop: 30 people signed up, 3 showed up, and what they learnedSeason 3 Preview – New guests, new look, and the name change from ECtA to Big Dreams and Little Things CommunityReal Talk on Balance – How accountability meetings pulled them out of a creative slump this weekLinksThis EpisodeMaria's book: https://www.instagram.com/themindfulsongwriter/Karina's Christmas calendar: instagram.com/karina_kampeUpcoming survey: Watch for it in January!Big Dreams CommunityWebsite: www.ectahub.netInstagram: @bigdreams.ectaPrevious Episodes ReferencedEpisode 20: Amber Mogg Cathey– Voice Coach & Community BuilderEpisode 21: The Power of Celebration – Victory Dance ScienceEpisode 22: The Power of Community – Bloomsbury Group & Mirror NeuronsEpisode 19: How Mindfulness Can Unlock Your Creative FlowBest Quotes"Big Dreams and Little Things is for creatives who are building things messily, imperfectly, but persistently and heartfelt." – Karina"We become who we surround ourselves with.

I think we can because we want to be authentic and honest." – Maria"Not everything is crumbling. Just the things that aren't working. We need to do this and this instead." – Karina (after their accountability check-in)"Show up. Speak up. Celebrate like a rebel. And don't forget the victory dance – you deserve it!" – Karina & Maria"Community is what we want to create. It is what we want to build." – Maria"It's not about being perfect. That's exactly just our starting scrappy theme, but sometimes it's really hard to take it on." – Maria"You become who you surround yourself with." – MariaMerry Christmas and Happy New Year!
