Welcome to a weekly dose of inspiration, optimism and insight for people who want to live hot: creatively, courageously and authentically.
Living Hot
“I hope that you are hot, however, that your spirit is hot, that your life is hot, that your creativity is running hotter than hell. I am sure it is.”
N.D.
Those words were written to me many years ago by a dear friend who inspired one of the central characters in my novels. I’ve never forgotten them. They became something of a compass for my life and work.
Michaela Freeman. Nice to Meet You.
I’m a creative professional, business consultant, educator, artist, writer and coach. Also a wife, a dog owner, an avid cook and gardener. A polymath.
I work best at the crossroads of multiple fields, bridging business, personal development, art and charity. My interests and areas of expertise are even broader, but they all revolve around the same themes: creativity, empowerment and transformation.
I’m based in Prague, Czech Republic, but work primarily in English with people from many cultures.
Your Weekly Dose of Optimism
For more than thirty years, I’ve been collecting, developing and connecting ideas through my work in creativity, business and personal development.
This newsletter is where they all come together.
Every week, I share a curated selection of ideas, reflections and discoveries. Alongside my own articles and projects, I also love highlighting inspiring creators, innovators and ideas worth exploring.
At a time when so much of the media is driven by conflict and outrage, I’m committed to delivering optimism, insight and inspiration straight to your inbox.
Welcome. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey.
