A daily podcast for creatives who might need a little extra push to get started in their artistic endeavors. Here to add a little inspiration toward the evolution of one's self with exercises, mindset shifts and an overall good conversation.
What are the moments you are going to remember later on in life?
If you're in a tough spot right now, think about your decisions from yourself decades from now looking back at this time. If it feels scary, then it's usually a cue to just go for it.
Today is the last episode of the season! Thank you for listening. I'd love to hear about your thoughts and what you'd like to see in the next season, this is an ever evolving process. Talk soon!

I would hear "trust the process" so many times from people, I would get super frustrated because no one actually explained to me what it meant.
Now having been through many processes and still learning, I break down how I interpret to hopefully make more sense for you.
Let go of control
Refocus
Practice Patience

I thought telling myself that I am talented or an outgoing person in the mirror would make these things true.
Yet, your behavior won't change unless you do. While saying these things help in the short-term to help you feel good, taking action is what sparks you to make a change.
I go over upgrading your affirmation with action. Take a listen (:

How many times have you tried to get a routine going and it kept falling apart?
Well, the morning routine starts even earlier with the night before and by setting yourself up for the next day.
Start kicking ass in your day by getting these routines down.

Think of thoughts as clouds just passing by. We can become the observer of the clouds without getting caught up in the rain but sometimes we carry the clouds around with us.
Today’s episode talks about how we can choose to have a good day even if it’s raining. Don’t bring an umbrella to Portland 😅

It really takes a community to help you fulfill your dreams. Who's in your community? How do you find one?
I break down a few ways to start cultivating that sense of community by:

How many times have you doubted your creative abilities because you didn't know how to paint or write a book?
Well, that's not the only way we can be creative in our day to day lives. Making a new recipe for dinner is being creative, building out a whole Google Slide presentation about a new business plan takes creativity. It starts with leaning in on what makes you, you.
You need:
Consistency
Knowing how to articulate your ideas to others
How can you use these to solve problems and shake out old routines with the resources you already have?
Thank you for listening! If you have ideas for future episodes, DM me on Twitter.

How often to you hear "I don't have enough time?" or you say it to yourself?
In today's episode I talk about timing, literally. Timing how long it takes to get things done gets you in the momentum of getting things done so you can catch yourself the next time you have this thought.
