Dear Creative Mind｜a space for creative liberation

I changed my own latitude this past year. Today, I'm saying goodbye to Change Your Latitude and welcoming Dear Creative Mind. I'm so grateful to have you part of this new chapter, vision and journey. In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of this transformation and let you know what you can expect from this space next, both through the podcast and the coaching offerings. Grounding support...

Dear Creative Mind, welcome. This podcast is a space I created for us to explore the depths, textures, colours and intricacies of our creative mind. My name is Pascale and I’ll be your guide, helping you navigate your rebellious path. I know our creative mind sometimes gets lost in the maze of our imagination or sidetracked by the stories of our inner critic… leaving us feeling stuck in an exhaust...

Enjoy this free meditation to help you slow down and cultivate patience. A thank you gift from me to you in this Holiday season. As we're approaching the end of the year, we might feel rushed or sense a certain urgency to meet goals or milestones. Let's pause, reflect and invite patience as we allow our projects to bloom in their own timing in 2022. I'm so grateful that you're here listening to th...

This episode is an invitation for you to create a simple ceremony to close your current chapter so you can step into what's next with intention. Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. We have to allow ourselves to go through each phase. When we’re not creating space to end a chapter, we’re not closing the cycle and we can keep repeating it. New beginnings are exciting and full of possi...

This week’s podcast is about a topic that’s often tricky for all artists out there: selling. We’ll tackle the discomfort and fears of pricing our work and offering it to the world with the help of mindset and sales coach, Amanda Joyce Weber. She’ll explain how we can sell with sincerity and believe in the true empowering value of connecting with people in a meaningful way. If you've enjoyed this e...

This was a tough episode to record. I’ve been waiting to get clear about the lesson of this difficult life phase and it simply hasn’t happened yet. Rather than to bypass the uncomfortable, I am trying to be in the present, now and exploring stillness between an old life and a new one.  As always here are some prompts to be mindful of: In what ways can I surrender in the lesson that I’m learni...

In this episode, I’m chatting with Laetitia, Soul and Biz Doula at Essential Shift, about how entrepreneurship can be more of a spiritual journey rather than a business one. Many practices and guides are out there to help us spiritually in our journey, but it all starts with getting to know ourselves. Laetitia shares guidance about Ayurveda, which can be a beautiful and insightful way to reconnect...

Whether it’s through daily habits or a handy set of tools, taking care of one’s self shouldn’t feel shameful nor should it be treated as an afterthought. When it comes to business, it’s easy to forget that we are our most precious resource as we plunge head first into hustle culture. This week, I’m chatting about the importance of self-care with Carolynne Colbeck. She will share how she has applie...

In this episode, we explore the link between our desire for freedom and our need for control (hello perfectionism tendencies, I see you!). We identify as freedom seekers, yet a lot of us don’t really feel free on the daily. On the one hand, our attachment to this free-spirited identity can prevent us from creating the helpful structure we need to be able to focus our energy and find flow in our cr...

A lot of us have this resistance when it comes to selling. We either demonize it or procrastinate to avoid it. Whatever this awful vision of what selling is you have, it’s time to change it. Selling can be nothing more than a friendly invitation to take the next step on a promising journey. Stop thinking of yourself as “that annoying car salesperson”, you’re definitely not that. You’re someone wit...

Obviously, running a business requires work. There’s no getting around it. But hustle culture has us convinced that it’s a “one size fits all'' way of operating in that if you’re not always busy doing and achieving, you just don’t want it enough. Or worse, that there’s something wrong with you. How do you break that autopilot pattern you’re in to slow down to enjoy life as well as your business? I...

A lot of us get caught up in the whirlwind of entrepreneurship. For many creatives and conscious entrepreneurs, building a business is a gateway to living on our terms - that often means more slowly and mindfully. That desire doesn’t always align with the traditional image we have of entrepreneurship, how it “should” look like and the hustle culture narrative. That’s why I created a free workshop...

Are you ready to create change in your life, and start living and embodying your truth? In this episode, Celina Stobbe, who’s a healing guide and private client of mine, is joining me to share about her journey leaning into intuition and following her truth. Celina supports unconventional souls to break free from conditioning and shift their experience into sovereignty, authenticity, and ultimate...

This week, we’re exploring another trap that gets in the way of our creative life and business: our fear of rejection. It’s a tricky one because of how deeply rooted it is in our DNA. Unfortunately, our instinct and desire for acceptance can unbalance and limit our ability to live authentically. This is especially troublesome if you’re different and unconventional which is often the case for us, c...

Are you getting in the way of your growth? Fear of success and growth is something I chat often with my clients. This week on the podcast, we're exploring why we tend to face a lot of resistance and get into self-sabotage, the closer we get to a goal. The fear of failure and the fear of success both operate similarly in that they develop strategies to shelter us from the fear of the unknown. They...

As we keep exploring creativity be it through entrepreneurship or in general, this week we’ll focus on a big hurdle: the imposter syndrome. This can take on many forms: feeling like you’re never ready or good enough or that you’re a fraud, that you don’t belong with your peers, that you’re undeserving and that one day, you’ll be “found out”.  How can we overcome it? We’ll discuss how the impo...

In this episode, I share about another “creative-block power couple”. These blocks are some of the traps that we often succumb to as creative souls, but in understanding them, we become more equipped to navigate them. Today we’ll talk about indecisiveness and our fear of commitment. It can be very easy to get sidetracked and influenced by too many external sources, especially when trying to “find...

In this second episode of season three, dedicated to creativity and living a creative lifestyle, we’ll start getting into some of the blocks and traps that get in our way. In giving it some thought, I’m starting to believe that our creative blocks come in pairs - I call them “Creative Block Power Couples”. This week we’ll deal with one of the biggest ones: Perfectionism and Procrastination. We’ll...

In this first episode of season 3, which will be dedicated to creativity as a whole, I started thinking about what creativity means to me, what it helps me with and what it creates when it’s not in my life. Obviously, creativity can mean many different things to many different people and it made me realize how important it is to define what creativity means to you, especially if you’re a creative...

Creating and launching a business from the ground up requires a lot from us. Thankfully there’s a wealth of knowledge available to us but in doing so, we tend to create a gap between how we run our business and who we are as the person running it. Rather than adapting the learnings and blending them with our personal reality, we create carbon copies of business templates that unfortunately contrib...

Change and uncertainty go hand in hand and we tend to minimize the anxiety that comes with change. While the uncertainty of the 2020 pandemic has affected us all, it has also made us reflect on our lives and lead us to change be it change of career, relationship or simply new lifestyle. What is often talked about in change is either the start of the journey, how to get started or the tail end, how...

As someone who loves planning ahead, I’ve learned how to make the best out of my planning efforts. Oddly enough, I’ve noticed that planning through goal setting isn’t 100% reliable. We often set out goals through the sum total of other people’s vision. So how do we know if the goals we set are really OUR goals and not someone else’s? I feel it’s always important to look our past year, gauge what h...

Entrepreneurship often propagates the importance of hustling, of being busy or doing more. But more doesn’t always get you further ahead. If anything there are times where more sets you back. We’ve all been there: there’s so much to do and we always feel like we’re trailing so we do more and more to catch up. Compounded over time, our actions lack perspective and intention and the result: we’re dr...

Taking time to process what is happening. Being in tune with yourself. Allowing yourself to feel. Doing what feels good. Following joy. These are things we tend to oversimplify as “alignment”. But what goes into aligning our life, our business and our role as an entrepreneur is a continuous journey that constantly evolves. As you know it’s a topic that hits home for me and I couldn’t be happier to...

People often wonder what are the main struggles when it comes to launching your first business. Ironically enough, it’s how to enjoy having your own business and taking advantage of the freedom we create. This week on the podcast my guest is Angela Mastrogiacomo, who helps people launch businesses successfully. We chat about some of the things we tend to forget on our first entrepreneurial path.&n...
