Grow From Center

Our bodies and nervous systems need our care now more than ever, so we can stay unstuck, make grounded decisions, and show up fully for our communities. I talk about the recent episode of On Being that I loved, and about my favorite quick movement and reflection practice.

ABOUT LAURA:Laura Holway is an artist, teacher, and business mentor that helps heart-centered humans build creative businesses that center their values and humanity, and cultivate radical self-trust along the way. She writes a bimonthly newsletter, The Makings, and is excited about business and life as practices, embodiment as a way of life, and about karaoke—which will hopefully exist post-pandemic.

We each need a certain amount of money to survive, thrive, prepare for the future (retirement!), and enjoy life without constant financial anxiety.

And, artists and creative people are misfits for Capitalism, because our work often isn't focused on being productive and easily consumable, or perceived as useful: it's sometimes slow and mysterious, and designed to feed hearts as much as bellies. This is also why I love it.

This episode dives into the topic of money: money discomfort, the shortcomings of Capitalism, living your values through money, and why I want to make more money this year.

What gets in the way of us taking action, honoring our needs, and letting ourselves and our work be seen? A whole list of forces, including discomfort, indecision, a lack of motivation, and procrastination. The good news is that we can begin to name and shift these forces, so that they have less of a grip on us and our work.

A pep-talk for folks who are struggling to give themselves permission to want what they want—and move towards it.

I share a newsletter I wrote two years ago about Permission Slips, and the realization that self-permission is often way harder than asking for it from someone else. Also shared: three things I'm currently giving myself permission to do during the pandemic.
