Wildly Creative Life with Brooke Schultz

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

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

Emotions drive everything we do, including our creative work. So what can you do when you find your emotions getting in the way of creating more and creating more on purpose? In this episode we discuss how emotions are generated, the big problem with using willpower alone to try to make changes in your habits, and how to handle intense, prolonged emotionally challenging situations in your life in terms of creativity.

Ultimate Posing Tip

https://courses.brookeschultzphotography.com/ultimatefamilytip

If you feel like you've lost your creativity, there's nothing wrong with you. There's an invisible army of people all over the world who have felt the same. 45 minutes of creativity significantly lessens stress in the body, regardless of artistic experience or talent, so when I say it doesnt matter if it's good, it truly doesnt matter. Creativity is therapy, it is like water to your soul and you need this. This episode also normalizes taking breaks, starting over, and starting late–many of the greats were in that camp, so you're in good company.
