Dear Creative Mind｜a space for creative liberation

This episode is an invitation for you to create a simple ceremony to close your current chapter so you can step into what's next with intention. Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. We have to allow ourselves to go through each phase. When we’re not creating space to end a chapter, we’re not closing the cycle and we can keep repeating it. New beginnings are exciting and full of possibilities... and endings are full of valuable lessons we need to enter our next cycle with more clarity.

This was a tough episode to record. I’ve been waiting to get clear about the lesson of this difficult life phase and it simply hasn’t happened yet. Rather than to bypass the uncomfortable, I am trying to be in the present, now and exploring stillness between an old life and a new one. 

As always here are some prompts to be mindful of:

In this episode, I’m chatting with Laetitia, Soul and Biz Doula at Essential Shift, about how entrepreneurship can be more of a spiritual journey rather than a business one. Many practices and guides are out there to help us spiritually in our journey, but it all starts with getting to know ourselves. Laetitia shares guidance about Ayurveda, which can be a beautiful and insightful way to reconnect with yourself and create a business in alignment with your energy, your soul, your own blueprint.

Whether it’s through daily habits or a handy set of tools, taking care of one’s self shouldn’t feel shameful nor should it be treated as an afterthought. When it comes to business, it’s easy to forget that we are our most precious resource as we plunge head first into hustle culture.

This week, I’m chatting about the importance of self-care with Carolynne Colbeck. She will share how she has applied her life lessons in her yoga practice and in turn, in her life and business. She also shares some tips for daily habits to incorporate as well as some practical tools you can use in times of need.

In this episode, we explore the link between our desire for freedom and our need for control (hello perfectionism tendencies, I see you!). We identify as freedom seekers, yet a lot of us don’t really feel free on the daily. On the one hand, our attachment to this free-spirited identity can prevent us from creating the helpful structure we need to be able to focus our energy and find flow in our creative practice and business. On the other hand, some of us ironically struggle with letting go of our need to control every detail, may it be in our creative practice, the outcome of our work, and how it’s “supposed” to happen. Freedom and control cannot always coexist when we’re working towards a life, business and creative practice that flows. In this episode, we explore a few solutions to consider, including adding the right amount of (flexible and playful) structure, softening our grip on control, and learning to enjoy freedom (without shame or guilt).

A lot of us have this resistance when it comes to selling. We either demonize it or procrastinate to avoid it. Whatever this awful vision of what selling is you have, it’s time to change it. Selling can be nothing more than a friendly invitation to take the next step on a promising journey. Stop thinking of yourself as “that annoying car salesperson”, you’re definitely not that. You’re someone with a beautiful gift to offer. In this episode, we’ll talk about the blocks around all things sales and how to shift your perspective around it.

Obviously, running a business requires work. There’s no getting around it. But hustle culture has us convinced that it’s a “one size fits all'' way of operating in that if you’re not always busy doing and achieving, you just don’t want it enough. Or worse, that there’s something wrong with you. How do you break that autopilot pattern you’re in to slow down to enjoy life as well as your business? In this episode, I’ll share some of my experiences as well as some ways you can let go of the gas pedal, without pumping the brakes to a complete halt. How do we slow down and still grow?

A lot of us get caught up in the whirlwind of entrepreneurship. For many creatives and conscious entrepreneurs, building a business is a gateway to living on our terms - that often means more slowly and mindfully. That desire doesn’t always align with the traditional image we have of entrepreneurship, how it “should” look like and the hustle culture narrative. That’s why I created a free workshop around designing an intentional business, so you can grow it while respecting who you are. In this episode, I’ll do a quick walkthrough of the workshop’s 5 main themes and an overview of each of these.

We often hear about entrepreneurs romanticizing their failures after the fact, but rarely do we get a live play-by-play feed of their doubts and struggles. It’s obviously less sexy and inspiring but the reality is that we do need to hear it because it’s something we all go through.

This week we have the luxury of speaking to someone who’s willing to talk openly and vulnerably about some of these live ups and downs. He’ll share his state of mind and thought process on the insecurities of not knowing what the next steps are when curveballs, plateaus, and energies suddenly change our plans. We also discuss struggling to go against our own instincts due to what we’re often led to believe we should do.
