Do you think of yourself as a creative person? Do you ever feel an urge to draw, paint, write or start playing music, but immediately start to second guess yourself?

Our guest this week, Dr. Kricia Palmer was always a creative kid growing up. She started off college majoring in dance and dreamed of being a dancer, but ultimately chose to pursue medicine instead.

As early as residency, she realized that something didn't feel quite right in her medical career. She felt a pull to be more creative and started to fall in love with interior design. Several years into clinical practice she left to stay home with her kids, went back to school for interior design and now has created her own interior design business "House Calls for Physicians". 

During this episode Kricia and I talk all about

• Deciding when to monetize a passion or just keep it as a hobby
• Dealing with haters and guilt as you transition out of clinical medicine
• Cultivating a beginner's mindset so you can try new things without being perfect right away
• Tips on cultivating and practicing creativity as a form of self care- even if you aren't an artist.

If you've been struggling with the idea that "I'm not creative", this episode will give you such powerful inspiration to reclaim your relationship with creativity.

Dr. Kricia Palmer helps women physicians create uplifting, mindful homes so they can kick back, relax and enjoy life.
