147: Finding Inspiration in the Stories of Life with Morgan Harper Nichols

Today’s guest needs no introduction because she’s incredible. When we first started this show back in November 2019, we wrote a list of our dream guests we wanted to interview, this woman’s name was on that list. And here we are. The day has come. Today we had the honor of chatting with Morgan Harper Nichols.  Morgan Harper Nichols is a popular Instagram poet and artist who has created her life’s work around the stories of others. Morgan’s Instagram feed has garnered a loyal online community, and she is the author of All Along You Were Blooming, and her recent book How Far You’ve Come. Known for its lyrical tone and vibrant imagery, Morgan’s work is an organic expression of the grace and hope we’ve been given in this world. Morgan has also performed as a vocalist on several GRAMMY-nominated projects and written for various artists, including a Billboard #1 single performed by her sister, Jamie-Grace. Morgan is often on the road creating, teaching, and performing, in hopes of spreading her unique inspirational message and inviting others into her creative process. If you’ve been on Instagram for any amount of time, we can guarantee you’ve seen Morgan’s art and words either on your explore page or shared via a friend. She has such a way with words and art that speaks to people’s souls and makes them feel not alone in whatever they’re going through. We chatted with her today about how she became a writer and artist if she always saw herself pursuing creativity as a career, where she gets her inspiration for her work from, her diagnosis with autism earlier this year, and advice for someone walking through a season of grief or unknown. Her words today will speak so deeply to your heart, inspiring you on your journey in big and beautiful ways.    Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/147-finding-inspiration-in-the-stories-of-life-with-morgan-harper-nichols   Better Help: www.betterhelp.com/heartandhustle Save 10% off your first month with Better Help!    Contracts: www.theheartcontracts.com Use the link above for 10% off!   Follow along with Morgan:  www.instagram.com/morganharpernichols www.tiktok.com/@morganharpernichols www.youtube.com/user/itsmorganmusic   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.     Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity
