Dear Creative Mind｜a space for creative liberation

Dear creative mind, welcome to this meditation practice. Today, we are welcoming abundance and challenging the starving artist myth, and all the ways we cultivate a lack mentality.

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.

How can we keep making progress towards our vision despite the anxiety we may feel around the big unknowns it comes with? Change is…well, change. It disrupts the status quo. And that comes with waves of (annoying, awkward, frustrating) discomfort. It asks you to plant your feet in new grounds, walk on an unpaved road, and sit with the discomfort of not knowing how this change is going to unfold. Let's explore how we can bravely face the discomfort of change.

Why am I not there yet? What am I doing wrong?

Dear creative mind, this is a question we’ll explore together in today’s episode, as I will be reading a letter I wrote back in the Spring of 2022: Artists, do not rush your creative mission.

Are you feeling like you're missing a piece of information to make a decision and take action? You don’t know what to do. You don’t know how to do it. You don’t know where to start. You don’t know which option to choose. You. Don’t. Know. 

This can be incredibly frustrating, and I wanted to offer some guidance for when you "just don't know".

3 things to reflect on when you just “don’t know”:

Maybe you know exactly what you should be doing to reach your goals, but something gets in the way… and you know that that something is you...  You’re not alone! Let’s talk about it.

Do you have an inner critic? Your answer is most likely yes! I can also assume you've been wanting to get rid of it many times before. In today's episode, I'm inviting you to better understand this protective part of you and learn how to befriend it (instead of destroying it).

This is an invitation to befriend this part of you:

I would love for you to keep 3 important things in mind when you feel the inner critic popping up:
