Wildly Creative Life with Brooke Schultz

What do you do when a photo session doesn’t go the way you’d hoped, especially if the clients are really dreamy? What do you do when you’re spiraling out of control because none of your ideas seem to be working and you’re stuck? In this episode you’ll meet Emma, who is an amazing photographer out of Australia. She had a very relatable experience: a shoot that didn’t go well. Tune in for my unconventional advice.

Description:

Margaret Mitchell took 10 years to write Gone with the Wind. Les Mis took 12 years. Damien Chazelle didn’t make La La Land for 6 years after he finished the script because he couldn’t get anyone to fund it. Road blocks, lack of motivation, and setbacks are part of a creative life. 

Here’s how to hold them without letting them be the end of your creations.

People pleasing will kill all of your wildest dreams before they even have any chance and you’ll make everyone involved miserable in the process. Whether you want to make history with a crazy idea or just want to have clients who love what you do, people pleasing will block out your best creative efforts in business and art. 

In this episode:

-the difference between people pleasing and collaboration -people pleasing vs. doing something for someone because you love them -why living without regret is not just doing whatever you want and telling everyone to suck it -the not-scary way to get off the people pleasing train

Instead of all or nothing, what if you chose ‘a little something’?

There’s a big difference between sitting around doing nothing and actively running experiments.

-what is ooching?! (and why you’re gonna wanna adopt it)

-the happy medium between going all in and playing it safe

-why experimenting is key

There are moments in your creative journey that are hinge points with a clear before and after. Turning points, tipping points—the experiences, investments, and people that make all the difference in catapulting you forward vs business as usual or growing at a slow pace. This week, I share some of my hinge points and help you determine what your next hinge point could be.

In this episode:

• how money is key to our dedication
• why making decisions is a powerful gift to ourselves
• how to show up for the parts of creativity you struggle with

You're cute and so is your past! What comes up for you when I mention your past self? Do you romanticize the past, have nostalgia for it, think of the good ol’ days? Or do you feel embarrassed or ashamed of your past self?

If youre like most of us, youve got both. You see versions of your past self that had it going on, and other versions from your past that make you cringe. 

In this episode, I invite you to notice them all and give them a big kiss on the lips for all they've done for you + your creative life.

Connect with me and tell me all about your past self on Instagram @brookebschultz
