Spark Your Inner Fire for Creatives

Picture this: a sneak peek behind the curtains of my performances with the incredible python, Elvis. Weaving tales of unpredictability that stole the spotlight on stage.

As we unravel the narratives from both the stage and the serpent's perspective, you'll uncover the profound lessons learned when assumptions are thrust into the spotlight. Although Elvis may no longer be a part of our present, this story of him lingers, reminding us that assumptions confine the mind, while curiosity and questioning unlock doors to endless perspectives.

Join me in this episode filled with exploration, laughter, and enlightenment. Together, let's expose the untold stories beneath the surface of assumptions and embrace the transformative magic that curiosity brings.

“Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for meaning

As creatives our imagination runs wild with possibilities, with ideas, moving head first into the unknown … but it also runs wild with the obstacles we create that hinder us for taking some leaps into our biggest goals and dreams.

In this episode:

I recently did a huge project I've been working on for months and thinking about much longer than that. Seeing it come to fruition felt incredible, but in the process is when we're tested. Our patience is tested, our mindset is tested, our limiting beliefs are tested, and certainly our perfectionism tendencies are tested. Being fresh in the midst of all these "tests" I was reminded of some key aspects that are important to remember for any creative endeavor or project you are constructing.
