What if creativity was more than just an abstract concept, but rather a life force that reflects your soul? Join me as I traverse the dynamic landscape of running a business intertwined with creativity. I shed light on my recent integration work and the changes it has brought into my life. In this journey, I am not alone. I am accompanied by the inspiring Writer and Creativity Coach, Sarah Cook, an alumni of the business alchemist mentorship program, whose courage has sparked my transformation.

We delve into the complexities of creativity, its impact on cultural heritage, and the challenges it presents in business. Sharing a heartfelt personal tale about my mother's creative voyage and the role colonization may have played in shaping our artistic sensibilities, I hope to inspire you to view creativity through a different lens. As we navigate through the ebb and flow of running a business, I share the concept of "good hard" work and how it can help create a life that mirrors not just your bank account, but your inner self as well.

Towards the end, we unpack the intricacies of creativity, its ties with responsibility, and how it can become intertwined with our personal traumas. As I reveal my struggles with creative expression, and the internal pressure to deviate from the norm, I invite you to reflect on your relationship with creativity. Lastly, I reveal a significant rebranding of my business and how I'm inviting creativity into my space as a decolonizing ritual. So, are you ready to embark on this creative journey and redefine your relationship with creativity?

This week's stories feel incomplete without pictures so if you head over to Instagram, I've posted photos of my mom's art, my stamp engraved with my Korean name, the windows my grandpa gifted me, tiger swallowtails, my embroidery and my mini horse Winnie. You can see it all HERE.
