Today, I'm chatting with Isabel Bagsik (she/her), a Filipina American who is a former Art Director turned Creative Wellness Guide. Isabel is crafting heart-led experiences and projects at the intersection of creativity and wellness. She is here to guide creatives towards remembering their creative gifts from a place of rest and ease.

During our conversation, we chat about the resistance we feel towards rest, how white capitalist ideals need you to believe your creativity should "just be a hobby" or "isn't worthy if it's not productive" and how to rewrite this narrative. Isabel shares beautiful reminders and thoughtful invitations throughout our conversation, and I'm excited for you to listen to it.

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 Her work challenges conventional norms, inviting creatives to explore what’s possible when they release outdated narratives and embrace their true, authentic expression.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.
