What happens when you go forward without an idea of what’s to come? When you let adventure unfold? Sometimes great moments happen because you are fully present. Fully alive. I want to share a story with you recently that I experienced in Central Park as a tangible way to talk about the things I’ve been learning about creating space in your life and embracing the space.

I held an IG Live a while back where I answered some of your questions. I thought your questions and thoughts were so good that I recorded it and decided to put them in the minisodes. In this part of the IG Live, I talk about my experience deleting social media e for a little bit and what spirituality means to me. If you want to ask me more questions directly, send me a message on Instagram @findyourgoodspace.

This is another honest random thought from when I was feeling really lazy and not wanting to put any effort into anything. I share thoughts on not requiring comfort as a prerequisite for trying new things, why challenging the stories you tell yourself matters, and how life isn’t about points to score or things to own.

What happens when a child has emotionally immature parents? How do you recognize it and heal yourself? This episode is inspired fully by Lindsay C. Gibson’s book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Understanding what an emotionally immature parent looks like gives you the power to judge for yourself the level of relationship you can have with them. Or anyone really. 

After this episode, you’ll have the ability to better create boundaries with ease and focus on living from a true, authentic space. Rather than spending tons of time and energy on a parent who won’t change.

Jenica from The Good Space community messaged me after reading it saying she thought it would be a great topic to speak on. She was without a doubt inspired to share it. Thank you Jenica because the book changed my life and I’m grateful for that and for you.

If you stumbled upon this minisode episode, then you are listening to our favorite segments of the week. I grabbed my mic, laid on my bed, and was just thinking about a few things: good-fitting bras, my time living in Zurich, my thoughts on the book, Automatic Millionaire, and this interesting experience with a widow.

Today, I’m excited to chat about the chaotic creative process with Rachel Jepsen. Rachel is a nonfiction editor, writer, and dog owner living in the Midwest. We talk about how embracing chaos is fuel for creative work. Also, about self-compassion and how writing is a spiritual practice. She’s the executive editor at Every, a digital subscription publication focused on entrepreneurship, productivity, internet culture, technology, leadership, and more. If you want to have your creative spirit rejuvenated and re-lit then this episode is for you!

We talk about…

[3:52] Rachel on writing the chaotic good and getting creative through a place of chaos

[7:24] How Rachel gets started in writing through randomness

[12:00] How writing can help us become more compassionate for ourselves and for others

[15:48] How to approach journaling as a mind-expanding agent to help us

[21:27] Intentionality of the physical practice of writing

[27:48] Rachel on how writing is a practice and a process

[32:56] Writing as a spiritual practice and access to play

[37:04] The communal aspect of creativity and world-building

[39:45] Rachel's reading recommendations

QUOTES

“I think that there's so much to know about how journaling can help us become more compassionate, not just for ourselves, but for other people, because of the way that it sort of lays out the first draft of consciousness of ideation.” - Rachel

“Chaos isn't only necessary to create anything. Harnessing chaos is possible in our ultimate creative state. Self-editing is part of the creative process but the initial idea, the first spark of truth that ignites a new piece of writing and fuels, the remainder of the process, is born out of chaos, just like the universe.” - Rachel

THIS WEEK’S INTENTION

I allow myself to play and inspire those around me to do the same

WRITING PROMPT

How do I like to express my voice? In what ways might I not be allowing myself to?

I want to talk today about feeling peace even when life around you seems overwhelming. Maybe you’re in a city like I am where it can feel hectic, busy, and high pressure. Maybe family members or friends feel they can dump their energetic clutter on you and it makes you feel drained. Or incessant negative thoughts plague you and bring your energy down. Regardless, it’s important to recognize that every component in your life involves energy and it affects how you feel.
