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 Development Quotes, Personal Development, Live For Yourself, Finding Yourself, Whimsical Photography, First Language, Marne

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.

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. I am also sharing a visualisation exercise for the times when you feel oh so afraid #creativeblock #creativeliving #slowcreativelife Do It Anyway, Today Episode, Life Improvement

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 Success Business, Busy At Work, Move Forward, Workbook

I am just starting to lean into the embracing the year slowly and soulfully. Instagram seems to be fully taken over by the January intentions and all the planning and I am choosing not to feel overwhelmed by that. I am taking a slower approach and trying my best to let go of the pressure to ride along and not left behind. I really hope you too are embracing a pace that works well for you.

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.
