A setback is defined as an interruption in progress. We have all been there, we have had setbacks with technology, creativity, and with our small businesses. Don’t lose hope, because we have learned from our setbacks and will share our stories with you.

No one is really “ready” to start a small business. The best way to start is to just begin. Karina and Stephanie will share what worked for them when it comes to starting an online shop, and an online business for freelancing.

Living in a world where everything is just a few clicks away could give us the wrong impression that that’s the normal course of action for most things in life. However, as uncomfortable and frustrating as it is, we know that real life doesn’t occur that way. We’ve all been through the process of waiting. It could either be more sales, a job promotion, a house, a completed project, a big opportunity to happen, or just a nice review from a client; what we thought it was only going take a few days turned into months! And we must learn how to deal with our creative energy so it doesn’t affect us in other areas of our lives. In this episode we discussed strategies to make this journey a little bit easier, as we learn how prepared our minds to patiently and actively wait for that next thing.

Let’s face it, we all get distracted one way or the other. It’s completely normal to do so. However, we must identify when those distractions become a problem, hindering our creative process. Let’s make a couple of adjustments to our habits so we can learn how to put those distractions aside.

We understand that it is hard to find a balance between our busy schedules and our creative process. But we are here to tell you: There is hope! We will share some tips on how to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle while fulfilling all your responsibilities. Let’s be more intentional to become our best selves!

Unfortunately, social Injustice has become a “normal”topic now these days. With Valentine’s day around the corner, we opened our hearts and filled them with courage to share some hard topics with you. Our goal in this episode is to encourage you to love and respect everyone despite the color of their skin. We all come from various backgrounds, we are unique in our way, and that is what make our journey on Earth so meaningful and special. What are you doing for others? What can you do better to support other fellow creatives who look different than you? We are in this together. Let’s learn to love and respect people even when we struggle with our differences. That moment is now. Happy Valentine’s day everyone!

Happy New Year! We can still say that because it is January. We have been on a long break, and we a back and more creative than ever. We will share with you our goals for the new year, and how we keep track of our goals.

It is bonus time! Today we are talking about the difference between critique and criticism. We’ve partnered with our amazing creative friend, Javier Negron, musician, singer, worship pastor, and Karina’s husband. Being a leader is stressful, sometimes it hurts, sometimes we get nasty comments from people about our work, and it seems impossible to please everyone. How do we bounce back from those negative comments? How can we move on without hard feelings? Javier is here to share his experience from being a leader in the creative ministry for several years. Let’s learn together how to deal with such uncomfortable situations while still loving people and not lose momentum.

We did it! We completed season 1 of The Creative Process (for busy people). We are so thankful for each and every single one of you, our awesome listeners, who’ve been part of this journey for the past 10 weeks with us. This simple podcast started as an idea, which then evolved into a dream, and later became a reality. Now here we are, celebrating the finale of season 1. We are here to tell you that no idea is too small, no dream is too big. With the right mindset, you can always accomplish your goals. Yes, things will happen along the way that may require a sudden change of plans, but focusing on the big picture will get you to where you want to be. No matter what it is we’re talking about in life, if you focus on it, you’ll get more of it. This is our story of how we work towards accomplishing our goals and dreams, and we are here to encourage you to do the same. Now get ready, because we are dreaming bigger than ever, as we prepare for Season 2.
