The Creative Pivot - Actionable Inspiration for Midlife

On this episode of The Creative Pivot Podcast I am talking about how to use journaling as a tool for banishing burnout. This episode is for every woman going through burnout no matter what stage you are at and I don’t want to hear that you don’t like to write or that you’re not good at journaling. I want you to give it a try so that you can get some of the stress that has been sitting in your body out because that stress is related to your thoughts and your emotions and the things that you don’t always want to process. If you can get it out by journaling you often can reevaluate that stress from a more neutral standpoint.

Have you connected with @pamelajbates? If you haven't then let me introduce you to one of my favorite, tell it like it is, women.

She has a pivot tale to tell. At 49 she found her passion, and she didn't know it was missing. She walked into the Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and saw the painting, El Jaleo by John Singer Sargent and she could feel it in her soul. The calling of the paint and the brush were already inside, she just hadn't heard it until that day.

Since that moment Pam has been painting, painting, painting, she can't get enough and it lights her up. She shares her painting magic on Instagram and her authenticity shines through. She has built up her Instagram following to over 15K devoted fans, following along as she coaches, paints, and takes her dog for walks in the beautiful New Hampshire countryside.

I have been one of those devoted fans since discovering Pam last year. She has built this amazing community by sharing her own magic, and she wants to help you share yours. I am so happy to welcome Pamela Bates to The Creative Pivot podcast.

Cathy King is The Sustainable Organizer, a professional organizer who serves women who are overwhelmed by their stuff. In addition to being a NAPO trained professional organizer she holds an MBA in Sustainability from Northeastern University. She was born and raised in New England and has a passion for problem solving, health & wellbeing, gardening and certainly organizing.

She is the holistic reset button for women who are overwhelmed by clutter. As Cathy says, "Most people see organizing as cleaning up clutter, but the clutter is only created because of the holes in the other areas of our lives. There’s clutter because we’re going 100 mph and just can’t seem to slow down long enough to figure things out. When there’s a process wrapped around our day-in and day-out living, we don’t build clutter. Or when it does start creeping in, we see it and know how to stop and assess our processes. I’ll help you create sustainable processes to eliminate the clutter and be your compassionate (but effective) accountability partner. I give women the grace to face their clutter and the sustainable processes to enjoy their lives with it."

Oswald and I met as many do these days online. We were both fans of Don’t Keep Your Day Job, and took on the challenge of the Made To Do This 12 week course in early 2020.

Oswald has grown so much as a person and as a writer this year, stepping out of his comfort zone and taking on this challenging year, we discuss his emotional journey.

Today, October 27, he is releasing his e-book called, A Poetic Journey, Staying at Home, that documents this journey. His poetry touches on how Covid has impacted his life this year, as well as his life with Cerebral Palsy, and memories from his childhood. His new website, Oswald Perez.com has launched and you can purchase a copy of his e-book in his store.

This is a bonus episode of The Creative Pivot, because as I am sure you have guessed, Oswald is neither in midlife or a woman, but he is a great example of someone that is choosing his own path in life, forging a new way of looking at the world, and working on fighting through those limiting beliefs that keep us small. It’s time to meet Oswald.
