Fi Simler

Artist.

FL, USA

I’m a Peruvian-born, U.S.-raised artist working primarily in clay. My practice explores the layered experience of cultural displacement and diasporic grief—what it means to belong everywhere and nowhere at once.

As a marketer and coach, I approach my work through a trauma informed, lens, creating a resilient and supportive culture where clients’ mental well-being and ethical business practices are as important as their strategy and sales. I believe we are humans first, professionals second, and our businesses should reflect that humanity.

About this FieldTrip

So many creatives want to use AI, but with the flood of tools, tutorials, and information, it’s easy to go crosseyed and feel your body hit the brakes before you ever land in a flow. In this talk, we’ll unpack what’s really happening when we ghost, rage-quit, or burn out trying to “do it right.”

You’ll learn how to recognize the nervous system responses sabotaging your implementation—and how to build more tech trust through nervous system regulation, micro-practices, and somatic tools that support your work.

⭐️ This FieldTrip is part of our Level Up Series with Adobe!

Agenda

  • Introduction: Set the stage by looking at “tech overwhelm” through the lens of the nervous system.

  • Nervous System 101: Explain fight, flight, and freeze responses and how they show up while we work with computers and tech. 

  • Framework: Regulate → Experiment → Integrate
    Introduce a practical, three-phase approach to build tech trust:

  • Regulate: Simple somatic check-in and grounding practice.

  • Experiment: Start with one small, safe action.
    Integrate: Learn what works, systematize it, and make it repeatable.

  • Q&A and Closing: Questions and discussion that for more nervous-system based support. An invitation to continue exploring through more resources.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
