The post Dating Dangers for Self Help Nerds appeared first on Radical Creative Sanctuary.

We all talk to ourselves. Mostly in the privacy of our own thoughts, and most of the time it’s not very nice. So often we don’t even know we are doing it! Inspired by the book Chatter, Danette offers a fun little experiment to help us get out of our heads and talk about ourselves from a little further away. Not all gossips are terrible. You can be a kind gossip to yourself.

The post Gossip About Yourself appeared first on Radical Creative Sanctuary.

We love the idea of an overnight success, but would you be able to accommodate it if it happened to you? This episode explores the role of capacity when it comes to personal growth, especially when we are in an era of expansion, pleasure and success.

The post Are You Ready for Your Wildest Dreams? appeared first on Radical Creative Sanctuary.

What are we really doing when we visualize our “future selves”? Is this one of those personal growth tools that doesn’t seem to work for you? Maybe it doesn’t have to be so precious and ceremonial. In this episode, Danette nerds out on her love for future selves, past selves and using our imaginations to feel good.

The post Simplifying Your Future Self appeared first on Radical Creative Sanctuary.

It begins with a song lyric by Ani DiFranco and opens into some big landscape-shifting questions. What happens when we suddenly know the story we thought we were living has changed direction? Have you ever received news that made your regular day seem surreal? Often this experience is triggered by events that are out of our control, illuminating what is most meaningful and urgent to our hearts. What if you pretended a landscape- shifting event is happening right now? The clarity is yours for the imagining.

The post Life as a Victory Lap appeared first on Radical Creative Sanctuary.

So is a messy desk. We often make a mess when we make art. But this is about the particular, underappreciated creative act of making S P A C E. For any of you who need a soothing voice to listen to while you clear off your counters, tidy your desktop and wipe the slate clean. It can start with a desk or a drawer. Making space can make room for so much more of YOU.

The post A Clear Desk is a Work of Art appeared first on Radical Creative Sanctuary.

When you’re dating, people often ask what you are looking for in a partner. Is this the best question to be asking? Have you ever met someone who “checks all the boxes” but…it doesn’t seem to be working? Or how about being surprised by a fulfilling connection with someone who somehow doesn’t check many (or any!) of your boxes? If you enjoy the power of clarity in your dating journey, listen in for the questions that can change the way you hold the map.
