Meera Lee Patel is a self-taught artist and best-selling author of several works including My Friend Fear, Start Where You Are and her latest, Create Your Own Calm. In this mind meld, we riff about the link between creative inclinations and destiny, artistic intuition, tolerating and escaping soul-sucking day jobs, and how creativity connects you to your place in the world.
