What if your next creative breakthrough doesn't come from doing more, but from doing what truly matters?

In this episode, I’m talking directly to you—the creative soul who sometimes wonders

Am I on the right path? Or worse, Am I behind?

Spoiler alert: you’re exactly where you need to be.

We’ll explore what it means to create intentionally, how to stop spinning your wheels, and how to start steering toward the life and work you actually want. I share my own turning point—the moment I realized moving to Costa Rica wasn’t just a random whim but a signal to step into who I really want to be.

This isn’t about vague “woo-woo” stuff (although I'm into that too). It’s about practical, purposeful action. If you have a creative dream quietly tugging at you, this episode is for you.

Why Intentionality Matters

Not all busy work is progress. I break down how to spot what’s worth your time and energy, and why you have to align your actions with your values.

Becoming Who You Want to Be

It’s less about checking off tasks — although there's plenty of that —and more about evolving your identity. I also talk about how tiny shifts in what you do daily connect to your bigger vision.

Reading the Signals

That recurring idea or dream isn’t random. It’s your creative compass. I share how I recognized my own signal and used it to navigate my real-life move.

Taking Action Without Overwhelm

I’ll walk you through how to lean into your calling without burning out, plus some mindset shifts to help you move forward.

You’re Not Alone

Creative work can feel lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. I touch on the power of community and support along the journey.

Try this:

• Reflect: What’s the one creative idea or dream that keeps coming back to you? Could it be a signal to act?
• Shift: What’s one small action you can take this week that aligns with who you want to become?
• Reach out: Need a sounding board? I’m here. Book a free strategy session or send me a DM on Instagram.

Your creative journey is uniquely yours. But with intention and a little support, it can be the most fulfilling thing you ever do.
