Join me this week as I share why chasing perfection for perfection's sake is hollow, and what we’re actually seeking through perfectionism (it’s not what you think). 

You’ll learn:

• What creative work lacks when perfectionism is centered and prioritized
• What it means to have our energy imbued in our creative work
• Why you need to create with the intention (as part of the ‘raw materials’) that you want to offer through your art and creative work

Excerpt:
“​​But the reality is, is that the raw materials are everything, right now, exactly where you are. And those raw materials are what you're gonna build on and create your vision on. They're the foundation. They're so important. So your energy that you wanna offer should be priority number one in your work. You should be prioritizing that over perfectionism.”

Join me this week as I share with you my answer to this question, why are we here? I'm also going to share some of my personal beliefs, where they come from, how I approach having beliefs that I can't prove, and my greater life vision, which I hope to impart on you as well. 

You’ll learn:

• My beliefs about why we’re here
• An amusement park analogy for life
• Why your idea matters more than you know (and how it can change someone’s life without you knowing)

Excerpt:

“So I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I believe that we are spirits in human bodies. And that we are here to learn and play and be challenged and grow and expand in ways that only humans can. I think of being a human living life as being in a big amusement park. We can go on rides that thrill us, rides that terrify us, rides that make us nauseous and want to puke. And we were like, why am I on this? I just want to get off this, like immediately. 

So, how does this relate to you?  Well, while you're here alive on this planet, I think your  job is to have your unique experience in the amusement park.”

Questions for you to consider:

If you agree with me and you believe that you are here for a reason, you have your ideas for a reason, you're meant to express your ideas. Maybe you're working on believing that you are the perfect person to express those ideas. And you're here to have this human experience, which is like a series of amusement park rides. 

Then, if you're in that place of believing that: what do you want to work on? What are you meant to create? What should you do today to support that vision?

Join me this week as I explore intuition and creativity (they are interconnected, if not two sides of the same coin), and the magic that they generate when used in coordination (FLOW).

You’ll learn:

• How taking exquisite care of yourself is part of the equation
• A new way of looking at why you should share your art
• What a lack of consistency in your creative practice actually means about you (it’s not what you think)

Excerpt:
“It is actual alchemy - your brain + your inner wisdom is taking something and transforming it by taking the raw parts a level deeper, and making the invisible visible. By taking what only you can see, and making it explicit. 

If you agree with me (which I hope you do), then you can also see why your energy is so critical to this process. Your energy is literally one of the raw parts that goes into this transformational ‘creative’ process. Therefore, it is imperative that you care for your energy, and that you nurture it for the invaluable resource that it is.”

Join me this week while I share my ‘Intuition Equation’. I break down the process I use to tap into my intuition to create my goals, and how I make intuition-led decisions along the way. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• A process to reliably 'tap in' so you can strengthen your intuition
• Two things that might make it seem like something is going wrong, but actually mean you’re on the right track 
• Where I see most Creatives get stuck in this process, and how you can learn to navigate it

Excerpt:

“Having that HOW plan, knowing every step, every how of how you're gonna do something, really limits you because you're only going to do what you can see. You're not going to  explore or be open to other possibilities or literally the way it works is you just  follow one breadcrumb to the next, to the next, to the next.

And when you can trust while you're doing that, things are so much bigger and better than you can imagine than when you are starting out. When you are setting the goal with what you currently think is possible for you. So just keep that in mind. It's normal to want to know how, the most normal thing about you, and also insisting on knowing how you're gonna do something will limit you and you will create less than you are capable of.”

Join me this week as I share the *very big* difference between trying to ‘be the best’, rather than being more YOU. We are conditioned to ‘be the best’ - 1. WHY? 2. Who cares??

When you compete to be the best, you cut off other facets of yourself that make you uniquely you. No one - NO ONE on this planet is like you. You are one in eight billion. 

Excerpt:

“Why are we reducing ourselves to labels and titles? Why are we allowing that to happen?  Actually, I mean, I know that we're conditioned, but we're perpetuating it. We're trying to become the best. Like it is that whatever medium you work in or whatever trade you work in is such a small part of you. 

The quote I'm thinking of, I don't know who said it, but you contain multitudes. There is no title or trade or profession that could possibly contain all of you. And I hope that as you're listening to this, you're starting to see that. That it is not better to be the best painter, potter, writer, whatever.”

Join me this week as I do something a little different today and share an excerpt from my daily-ish writing practice with you.  We're going to go on a journey from feeling overwhelmed, to a three-step process I do when I'm feeling the feels, and then into an homage to creativity and creative acts. 

Excerpt:
“It makes me wonder about the cost of suppressing the creativity that wants to move through us. The desire is strong and how hard a lot of us work to suppress it. 

To suppress the desire for these ideas to emerge for our creative acts to be acted out, to be created. It has a cost. The cost of not allowing this energy, this creativity, these ideas to move through us often leaves us feeling glum, uninspired, and even fatigued. The energy wants to move. And a lot of us work very hard to hold it in.”

Join me this week as I share with you the four step process I use (and teach) to find what’s in the way of feeling how you want to feel (and experiencing life the way you want to). If you haven’t already, go listen to Episode 19. Two Most Important Things I Can Teach You before this one - it will provide context about how to use this four step process. 

Excerpt from today’s episode:
“Step number three is to be on to yourself  when you feel the negative narrative take over.  When you begin to pay attention to feelings, and if they're negative, you might start to hear more a more negative narrative about like, oh, I'm feeling terrible all the time. I'm feeling so discouraged. This is never going to stop. Right. This narrative will take over and it will get louder in an effort to protect you. So I want you to be paying attention to and aware of when this negative narrative begins to take over again. When you have dropped out of awareness, and you are back in this narrative and listening to everything it's telling you."

Join me this week as I share with you the first two concepts that I teach everyone who works with me:

1. You are not your thoughts (you are the awareness of your thoughts) and 

2. You have an inner narrative running at all times - and how important it is to intentionally craft the narrative you tell yourself. 

If you learn just these two things from me, it can change your life. 

Excerpt from today’s episode:
“The first thing I want you to know is that your natural state is open, joyful, happy, excited, content, full of wonder, curious, effortless, and connected. I believe that like a hundred million percent, that is all of our natural states.  And so we don't need to necessarily like, do anything to find  those feelings states, I think a lot of us think, like I just need to figure out how to spend more time there, or I need to generate this for myself more often."

If you've ever thought to yourself, 'if I just worked part-time or if I didn't have to work at a full-time job and I could work for myself, then I would have time to create what I want.' This week I share with you why that's not true, and why having having time constraints can actually be supportive. 

Excerpt from this week's episode: 

"You don't need to blame yourself and say like, what this means about me, and that means I can't do this. Don't go down that road either. Just talk back and say, this isn't about time. And maybe even get curious, like if it's not about time, what might this be about? What's going into this that's causing me to think that if I just had more time, what else might it be that's contributing to this?"

Join me this week as I share how subtle differences in our inner narrative have a major impact on what we create (and what we think is possible).

Excerpt from today’s episode:

“Like that is such a privilege when you really think about it. If you are privileged enough to be able to spend some of your time creating a random idea that you have in your head. It is your duty to actually spend time doing that, and you can make it really hard on yourself and not fun and not enjoyable, and like really diminish your energy by telling yourself a negative story about yourself and your effort and what you're capable of and all the things.”
