A huge part of building our creative work and life practice is feeling afraid and doing the scary things anyway. In this episode, I am sharing how I have learned to feel the fear and how I keep showing up despite feeling afraid.

Following the should do's is what we are taught to do and it is not that easy to break that pattern and follow what you are deeply, madly and wildly passionate about instead. Read this letter about why I think it is so important to follow our must do's instead of the should do's for living an intentional, slow and meaningful life #intentionalliving #creativeliving #smallcreativebusiness

As being a multi-passionate myself, I used to find it really hard to find my focus. Too many ideas and too many directions that I feel being pulled towards so have developed a system and a structure to move forward and not let it become a block. I wrote this ebook using my own experience of running around in circles to help you find your focus being a multi-passionate. There are some helpful exercises and journaling prompts to help you find your own answers #creativeliving #multi-passionate

I know we are not everyone’s cup of tea. Some people will like you and others won’t. It is okay. It is normal. It isn’t a judgment on you or your worth. It is simply because you are not for everyone and neither is everyone for you. But oh, how much did I hold myself back because I was afraid of putting myself ever in such a position where there will be room for criticism and such difficult conversations. #creativebusiness #enamelpins #podcastforcreatives #creativity #smallcreativebusiness Difficult Conversations, Think Of Me, Things To Think About, Daring Greatly, Starting A Podcast, Confidence Building

If you dream of building a creative work and life practice that works for you, it all has to come from you. If we start listening and believing what everyone else is saying and doing, we lose ourselves in that noise. I want to share my own experience of learning that actually what I needed to learn was to believe in myself.

Do you feel frustrated because your creative work, creative projects and your creative business is taking more time than you think it should take? Do you dream of building a creative work and life practice that works for you? Tune in to this episode as I am sharing my own personal journey as an example to share how our expectations can stand in the way of us creating our best work #slowcreativelife #creativeliving #multipassionate

Social Media Influencer

Not Good Enough

I believe, we all get to decide what works for us and what doesn’t. Attending #iamremarkable made me question the way we look at someone who is self-promoting and sharing what makes them remarkable. #simplelifestyle #simplelifehappylife #simplelifepleasures #mysimplelife #keepthingssimple #thepointedlife #dailywisdom #influencerblogger #influencerlife #brandinfluencer #socialmediainfluencer

For some reason, I never liked the word should. Wherever I hear it my head goes ding ding ding, pause. Consider an alternate approach. I used to think it had something to do with my rebel tendencies and as it challenges the way I value freedom. It is so much more than that.

Give it a read for some encouragement! It is perfectly fine to *not* have all the answers in front of you before you start. Often times the best work comes forward when you experiment, follow your curiosity give yourself permission to listen to your intuition.

Sarah is a watercolor artist, photographer and nature enthusiast based in Seine et Marne, France. I have been following her work for a while and it was such an honour to invite her and talk to her about her process. We chatted about her love for nature and how it inspires her to paint, why is it important for her to create and how it all began. Sarah creates every day. At least one painting a day. I find it fascinating. #creativeliving #slowcreativelife #watercolorart #podcastforartists Morning Pages, First Language, Marne

Community, to me, means an opportunity for collective growth and becoming. It is about friendship, support, and encouragement to keep going and showing up courageously even when things get oh so difficult. I’ve had a chance to connect with lovely humans all over the world on the internet and one thing that we all had in common was the loneliness. Read to know if support of community by your side makes a difference.
