Dear Creative Mind｜a space for creative liberation

Why does creating art feel so hard and complicated? Dear creative mind, you’re not blocked, there are knots in your creative process… which can be untangled. And you’re not stuck, you’re committed to certain patterns because they serve a purpose… and you can unlearn them and support yourself in a more helpful way. So let’s explore these creative knots.

Some typical challenges we go through + questions to reflect on:

Which of these knots have you experienced before? Where do you feel it comes from? And what is the consequence of staying committed to these stories?

Because they really are just… stories.

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.

Julie Kim, artist, joins me for today's conversation about the many layers of art and creativity. We chat about cultivating a slow approach to art-making, exploring our inner landscapes, designing an inspiring space and more. She also shares about the intriguing process of making your own paint pigments, and her beautiful journey in Peru.

Julie Kim is an artist, designer, and pigment worker from Seattle, Washington. In her paintings she explores the movement of light, color, and energy in the spaces where inner and outer worlds overlap. Using natural handmade and synthetic paints, she weaves elements of the material landscape together with the felt and subtle experience, the lightness and density of which are mirrored in her palette. Her curiosity for landscape and pigment has led her to explore mountains, rivers, deserts, and jungles of the world, cultivating a closer relationship with Earth and a deeper understanding of the inner world. Each pigment discovery contributes to her handmade mineral paint palette and informs a vocabulary of shapes that characterize her paintings: wild growth of jungle foliage, fluidity of the wind, crystallized light, and clear horizons. Her paintings bring to light an unseen story, layering dimensions of pigment, landscape, and spirit onto paper.

Grounding support for creative minds

Have you noticed yourself getting stuck somewhere in the process of starting or completing projects, even when you have a plan? Like something is preventing you to follow the roadmap. When that happens, we start to feel lost, we procrastinate, we ruminate, we overthink, we even doubt the plan… and then, well not much happens. Let’s try to untangle that knot together.

Some reflections to journal about or bring along with you today:

A loving reminder: Having a plan can give us the illusion of control. We might stay stuck in the plan because taking action on it will bring us out of our comfort zone and into the unknown. Investigate your need for control… and explore what you CAN actually control.

I changed my own latitude this past year. Today, I'm saying goodbye to Change Your Latitude and welcoming Dear Creative Mind. I'm so grateful to have you part of this new chapter, vision and journey. In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of this transformation and let you know what you can expect from this space next, both through the podcast and the coaching offerings.

Grounding support for creative minds

Dear Creative Mind, welcome. This podcast is a space I created for us to explore the depths, textures, colours and intricacies of our creative mind. My name is Pascale and I’ll be your guide, helping you navigate your rebellious path. I know our creative mind sometimes gets lost in the maze of our imagination or sidetracked by the stories of our inner critic… leaving us feeling stuck in an exhausting cycle of hustle, burnout and stagnation… and preventing us from sharing our message and creating change. That’s why you’ll find grounding meditations to soothe your mind, coaching notes to help you find more focus and flow, and conversations with other artists to inspire you… in the hopes of helping you better understand and take care of your whole creative self.
