Creating with the seasons is an incredible way to bring awareness into the subtle shifts, especially if you live where the temperature and weather tend to be relatively consistent through the year.   Even though some people will experience slight changes in the seasons when it comes to plants, animals, and activities - each season carries it's own energy that can be tapped into and honored no matter where you reside.

Where do you start when it comes to self care?   In this pod you will hear what I focus on when I am in the eye of a storm when it comes to self care.  It might not be the thing you think but I give you a few ideas on questions to ask yourself, thoughts to journal around and some examples of how dating yourself can be a start.  

Raging moment and I took myself out of the house to jam on some tunes and grab a coffee with the windows down and heat up - Michigan style.  I share my shift from anger - rage and revelation around being a creator and a destroyer in our own craft.   Check more of my work at botanicabeth.com

In this episode I chat on how the fear of success can be an element holding us back from our creative work.  You will hear the questions that I ask myself and how to shift in awareness from fear to possibilities and what that looks like working through my art scars around pottery, my childhood dreams of owning an art gallery and stepping into the space of what that can look like now.  

I was all in on throwing a pity party until I realized misery loves company and my bathtub only let's me soak half of my full figured body.  We get into a little bit of the why the opposite of creating for me is stuck in a rut, not feeling safe, home life and questioning why sometimes we need to dig in rather than always pushing through.  Let this episode remind you to always wonder and question if it's your time to get into growth and dig a little deeper.
