#23: Kerri Ough

Kerri Ough is a musician, writer, photographer, artist & self proclaimed archivist. She is 1/3 of the Juno-winning band The Good Lovelies. We talk about her life in music, how she’s been writing morning pages every day for over 20 years (to “get the goo out”) and how she’s been connecting with people through her group colouring project over the lockdown. We bond over mutual love of Derek Sivers’ ideas & discuss how journaling helps her discover meaningful change she wants in her life.

“I like that exercise of writing down why I’m doing it, what’s hard about it, what’s hard about the other path I’m not taking. I also don’t think it has to be either or. I think The Good Lovelies right now, I think we could make a really good decision to do a certain amount of touring and then still; Caroline can put out a solo project, Sue, she wants to do a podcast too and I think we can do it and make room. We’ve made room for kids, we’ve made room for when I moved to Newfoundland for 6 years. We make room for the things that  each of us want. So, my dream was to be a rockstar and/or a folk musician (in Canada and beyond…) and I also like to draw and I like to write and there’s more. I don’t think it has to be that I’m going to be a touring musician or I’m going to be something else. I think I can be a touring musician and I can also be a great aunt. Just checking in that it still is in line with my values. I don’t need us to be super famous. I like the people we reached on the weekend. I like the people we reach when we go to Australia and Alaska and Germany and everywhere in Canada and the US … and that’s enough. That’s enough for me.“
