Dear Creative Mind｜a space for creative liberation

Today, I'm chatting with former client Kimberly Graef about living life and running a business on your own terms, breaking the rules, being brave enough to be a little rebellious, and building a brand that truly feels like you.

About Kimberly

Kimberly is a brand designer and neurodiverse creative who translates tangled thoughts and ideas into brands that are infused with personality and rooted in strategy. She loves helping other creatives show up on their terms by challenging expectations and embracing their rhythms. Her method is centered around meeting her clients where they’re at and nurturing their confidence so they feel empowered to show up. When she isn’t working, you can find her reading fantasy and sipping tea, trying new vegetarian recipes, or grounding herself in nature.

About me

Pascale Côté is a creativity guide, artist, and writer who helps creatives meet, understand, and express themselves by guiding them to work *with* their (creative, complex, unconventional) nature instead of against it. She helps artists, visionaries, disruptors and earth stewards break free from the vortex of overthinking and move forward with their bold, rebellious ideas. Her work challenges conventional norms, inviting creatives to explore what’s possible when they release outdated narratives and embrace their true, authentic expression. Pascale believes that art is a powerful vehicle for both individual and collective change when it’s grounded in truth—created outside the rigid systems that stifle our creative spirit.

About the podcast

Creative minds are the architects of a new world, and their art holds the keys to reimagining our reality. The challenge is, creative minds often spend just as much time crafting self-limiting narratives as they do creating their art. Dear Creative Mind is a space for creative liberation—a pathway out of the cycle of overthinking, burnout, and stagnation. This podcast is for artists & creative entrepreneurs where Pascale, creativity guide, shares grounding meditations, gentle coaching guidance and heartfelt conversations with inspiring artists. The podcast explores the real challenges that come with being creative—overthinking, self-doubt, burnout—and how to navigate them while staying true to our vision.

Have you been feeling like whatever you do, whatever action you take, you seem to stay stuck… not able to move forward or to change something about your creative life or business?

Whatever situation you might find yourself feeling stuck in, the root cause is most likely the same... (no, there's nothing wrong with who you are, and you're not lacking anything). In this episode, I'm sharing guidance and practical tools to untangle yourself from the knots you might be feeling stuck in.

We also talk about her creative business story, human design, and the process of creating her brand new resource: the Brand Exploration workbook (link in the show notes).
