in this entry, I share with you how I use social media to practice being myself & cultivating courage. I talk about how I started my account to be create a safe space to show up authentically. & how I now deliberately use it to step, mindfully, out of my comfort zone, e.g. I did my first reel yesterday & have an IGTV coming up. it's both scary & fun, and that's just the juicy sweet spot I'm looking for.

I'm on shitty song #3 and friggin just shared some of it PUBLICALLY today! I talk about how I am getting enough routine (read: safety) to be able speed up the process, how it was sharing & how the allowance of creating shitty art doesn't mean that the art is going to be shitty. I also give an update on my book situation, about which I'm slowly uncovering what's holding me back (starts with a p and ends with erfectionism)

I am digging through some very limiting beliefs around my health & dreams—what is holding me back from going BIG? I talk about procrastination, shame & a secret dream I am both restless & terrified to pursue. also, I talk about the anti-dote in trusting my path & being open to the possibility that those beliefs aren’t the truth!

okay, this is just one of those days where I don't have the answers--or so I thought. bare with me, as I ramble about not knowing how to get on with my book, realizing it's cause I don't know what I am doing, or even WHO I AM, in general, to suddenly realizing I actually am beginning to embody everything I'm learning in this creative recovery--maybe even a 'self' recovery?

just finished my shitty song #2, y'all!! I talk about how shitty creating is serving me. for instance, I'm understand how it's opening my mind to creating out of an abundance mindset rather out of one of scarcity--noticing how the latter has blocked me in the past. this is a friggin life-hack. this is gonna change HOW I want to show up & create in the future. "the permission to create shitty art is a permission to play"

still in a haze of anxiety & shame, I share a little revelation about courage. somehow, I connect learning to do a headstand with regaining a sense of alignment & a jumpstart back into sync with life--which I am feeling very out of sync with atm. it's almost silly I'd forgotten about courage again, cause it is so linked with vulnerability, empowerment & being true ones self. listen to learn more, babe.

here's a little sunday night recap on my creative routines from this past week. I talk about the frustration of where I am in my book-writing, the perfectionism walls I am hitting with my songwriting & how the first week on my new schedule worked out in general. it's been a week of (some what foreseeable) comparison, shame & roaring perfectionism, y'all. but I am still creating.

in this episode I share the shame-spiral of the day brought on by a bad case of comparison. this is my fear of being behind,  fear of not doing enough, fear of not being enough. I share with you what brought it on, how I am shifting my mindset & trying to let all the comparing be a guide instead of an enemy. this is vulnerable & human AF.

y'all, it's about to get vulnerable. in this episode I share my thoughts after having written to my band sharing my mental health status, this podcast & my MJ Unleashed IG account. I talk about the shame, the fear, the vulnerability in disclosing to my 'professional' relationships my authentic self. I realize I have been utterly ashamed of being who I am for so, so long.

first, I give a short update om setting a new creative routine up & how that went on this first day. then I get into some feelings I had after a wonderful meeting with a fellow creative, Nanna Hofmann. I share why I experienced feelings of comparison & shame come up, & why it turned into a vulnerability hangover.
