Often when business isn’t going well, we think that we can fix it with a new marketing strategy or growth tactic.

We look to new courses, fancy platforms, or expensive mentors to “save” us … but in my experience, what we actually need in these times is to tend to our inner reserves in deeper and more nuanced ways.

So today I’m joined by Pascale Coté of Dear Creative Mind to teach us how to cultivate creative resilience in our artistic, marketing and business practices.

If you’ve ever had an unexpected pivot, a disappointing launch, or a period of deep burnout in your business, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn about:

• What creative resilience is
• How to expand your window of tolerance in business
• Common creative blocks to work with — like perfectionism, procrastination, self-sabotage & more
• How social media causes creative blocks
• Ways to redefine success & measure it differently
• Navigating positive & negative feedback
• The importance of pacing ourselves & our expectations
• Additional resources from Pascale ♡
