Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuide

Often when we expect or want something to look a certain way, we set out to create it...even if its not what's actually present. On today's episode we're going to talk about the difference between creating, forcing and allowing and how when we allow what is present, we can actually create something even better than we ever expected.

In this episode we cover:

• The festival experience Claire wasn't able to create and the surprising result
• Chasing something that just isn't present
• Creating through allowing (the choice you have as creator)
• Forcing emotions because we want to feel them
• Being present with what is present
• Allowing things that don't seem to make sense
• Ignoring the red flags
• Finding things you never knew existed or were possible
• How Claire's brain almost stopped the podcast from existing
• Embodying and deepening into creator mode
• Expanding our view of what something "working out" looks like
• How to begin allowing
