This podcast gives encouragement in a relatable way that is equal parts practical, humorous, and motivational. I love that a wide variety of creative people are interviewed: writers, artists, comedians, magicians, bookshop owners, etc. It reminds me that all of these accomplished people had to start somewhere, and i appreciate them being willing to be vulnerable as they share their insecurities and stumbling blocks, and how they work to overcome them. Basically, this is a podcast about being a human, striving to do what you feel called to do.
Tricia is a great host: supportive of who she is interviewing, lets them do most of the talking, but stays on topic, asks relevant questions, and shares her own anecdotes when relevant. When it occurred to me that I have listened to all episodes except the last couple bonus episodes, I figured I’d better hurry up and write a review. Thank you for the good you are putting out there into the world, Tricia!

From the moment I heard Tricia boldly tell her story of “How to Draw a Nekkid Man” at our 2012 Vanderbilt reunion, I was inspired to figure out how to get into her creative orbit. Several years and another reunion passed — then the pandemic brought me a gift — I learned that Tricia was teaching storytelling classes via zoom; I took 2 of them. Then just this past fall, I attended her amazing No Time to Be Timid retreat, and I am thrilled to be receiving personal creative coaching. With her guidance, I’m now painting, drawing, writing my ancestor’s story and just living an all around more creative life.
These NTTBT podcasts are the perfect complement to my creative journey. I’ve loved all 3 episodes and look forward to many more.

I'm a very big fan of this podcast! I found it last spring because of the interview with Amy Grant. (I’m an ex-Nashvillian and long-time fan of Amy.) I thought it was a really wonderful interview—and I've heard TONS of interviews with Amy—and I proceeded to binge all the episodes throughout last summer, as I was working on my final thesis project in grad school, which is a deeply personal mini-memoir.
Both Tricia's story and this podcast were so inspirational to me that I wrote briefly about her video "How to Draw a Nekkid Man" in my book. "No Time to be Timid" really was both a constant motto and motivation to me as I birthed my own project. I'm very excited about Season 3 coming out soon!

This podcast series has me thinking about how I want to spend my time- best take away from ep 1- what am I do to avoid making art? The answer is - ALOT of scrolling and watching instead of making and doing
