Dear Creative Mind｜a space for creative liberation

Today, I'm chatting with Lydia-Renee Darling about growing our creative work without burning out. We also touch on navigating uncertainty as an artist and creative, and also running a business with chronic illness or mental health issues. It's been so lovely to get to know more about Lydia-Renee and her journey, and I hope you'll enjoy this conversation.

Get support for your creative mind

Dear creative mind, welcome to this meditation practice. Today, we are inviting ease as we challenge the stories we’ve been fed about the struggling artist myth. Let's cultivate simplicity and move away from the 'shoulds'.

About me

Hello, I'm Pascale! I coach artists, makers and creatives of all kinds because I believe in the cathartic power of art, and the important role you're here to play. Through coaching, we co-create a sacred space to gently untangle the knots on your rebellious path, support your wellbeing and elevate your soulful work. My clients come to me with a heart full of creative ideas... and a mind tangled in self-doubt. My role is to help them find their way back to self-trust so they can fully step into the next level of their creative vision, business and self. Together, we work on softening the inner wars they host, building emotional resilience and stepping away from the cycle of self-betrayal. Curious about working together? You're welcome to book a complimentary call so we can meet and explore coaching support options.

Grounding support for creative minds

This week, Michelle and I are chatting about the transformational and liberating journey they navigated in the past couple of years, going from being a UX designer to now owning a creative business that truly reflects their essence. Michelle really allowed herself to follow her intuition, design her creative work with so much intention and gave herself a completely new life. We talk about the life and rebirth cycle they navigated, as well as the life and rebirth cycle that can be found when upcycling furniture and giving them a new life. We also explore how we can allow ourselves the freedom to create and explore our potential, and the challenges and benefits of leaving the corporate world (and the conditioning that's weaved into it).

Listen to her first appearance on the podcast here.

Grounding support for creative minds

Have you ever wondered how you could find a magical way to include all of your passions and interests into one creative business? Or maybe right now you’re wondering if you should just focus on this ONE thing? 

How do we make that decision? What’s the "right" decision?

Staying in limbo is exhausting… So I thought I’d offer some reflections today to help you navigate this, and share a bit more about my very recent experience with this challenge.

5 reflections for you:
