Dear Creative Mind｜a space for creative liberation

Have you ever caught yourself ruminating on the same idea, overwhelming yourself and getting dizzy with your own thoughts? Maybe you’ve explored so many options and scenarios that you don’t even know what you want to create anymore. Maybe you’re ruminating on a project, redoing things that don’t seem to make much difference. Or maybe you feel like your thoughts are running on a hamster wheel in yo...

A meditation for the burnt out, exhausted or inspired creative being. ⁠ ⁠Feeling burnt out, exhausted or uninspired is something a lot of creative minds can relate to… as if your creative garden suddenly became a desert. We can’t seem to connect with the muse that usually leads us or we simply don’t have the energy to follow her guidance. ⁠ ⁠Dear creative mind. You’re not alone.⁠ ⁠Follow me on a g...

Balance can feel like a puzzling concept and impossible destination to reach for us, creative minds. In this episode, I'm reading a past letter I sent to the community to invite them to seek flow within the tumultuous reality of creative living. Balance needs to be a flexible and responsive concept— it cannot be a fixed destination we’re hoping to reach. We may need to accept our imbalances an...

How can we keep making progress towards our vision despite the anxiety we may feel around the big unknowns it comes with? Change is…well, change. It disrupts the status quo.

It asks you to plant your feet in new grounds, walk on an unpaved road, and sit with the discomfort of not knowing how this change is going to unfold. L...

Why am I not there yet? What am I doing wrong? Dear creative mind, this is a question we’ll explore together in today’s episode, as I will be reading a letter I wrote back in the Spring of 2022: Artists, do not rush your creative mission. - Some journaling prompts you may want to reflect on: Do I really have to change the situation or my perspective of it? Do I need to adjust the goal or the measu...

Are you feeling like you're missing a piece of information to make a decision and take action? You don’t know what to do. You don’t know how to do it. You don’t know where to start. You don’t know which option to choose. You. Don’t. Know.  This can be incredibly frustrating, and I wanted to offer some guidance for when you "just don't know". 3 things to reflect on when you just “don’t know”:...
