Your parallel paths aren’t distractions — they’re the design.

In this CreativeMornings Chicago talk, multidisciplinary creative leader Brynn McCoy shares her journey from software engineer to designer to business leader, weaving together personal story, depth psychology, and integral theory. She explores how our seemingly divided lives — practical and poetic, public and private — are actually parallel threads moving toward self-realization. Brynn challenges creatives to lean into vulnerability, follow their enthusiasm, and recognize the life that’s “bubbling just beneath the surface” as the key to authentic, breakthrough work.
