[Kimothy Joy, inner stuff]: Getting over people pleasing and how to honor your own internal rhythms of productivity and creativity Ep 1126
In this second part of my interview with Kimothy Joy, author of “Extraordinary Wing Women: True Stories of Life-Altering, World-Changing Sisterhood,” “Focus Pocus: A 90-Day Guided Journal,” and “That's What She Said: Wise Words from Influential Women,” I asked about the mindset side of writing and how Kimothy’s thoughts and beliefs impact her work and her life.
(By the way, if you are ever needing a hit of inspiration, either from others or from within, I can't recommend these books highly enough. They're not only helpful and inspiring and informative, but they're also beautiful because they're filled with Kimothy’s illustrations.)
We talked about:
- Finding the right balance of working to promote your work and detaching from outcomes and not burning yourself out
- The difference between promoting your work and sharing your work and finding a way to do it without feeling like you’re being pushy
- Using your Instagram stories like a blog
- How publishing a book is like having a child leave the nest
- Using journaling and self-mothering as a way to understand and get past the inner critic
- Repatterning beliefs that have come in through society and culture
- The two major doubts she repeatedly has
- Talking yourself like a loving mother would talk to you–or like Glinda the good witch
- Getting past the expectation that you should be able to do all the things and have all the things all the time
- Unraveling the beliefs that, as a woman, it’s your job to make sure everyone else is cared for and comfortable, and that the world isn’t as safe for you as it is for men
