"Comparison", meaning comparing ourselves to others, is coming up for a lot of us as we are faced with the onslaught and surge of (somehow) even MORE social media. With the extra time on many people’s hands during quarantine more of us are on social media flexing our cooking skills, our workout wins, our Tik Tok dance moves and the many celebrities going live constantly that it actually broke Intsagram (don’t quote me on that one). In addition to all the doom and gloom from the news, where are w...

As creators and makers there is a stage at the beginning of the process when we are super excited about our new idea and creation. We want to share it. We want to talk about it and we want others to be excited with us. That can be tough sometimes when we are received with criticism. There are also many other scenarios where artists can get some judgement and push back for their unique or different way of thinking. As we discuss this possibility we offer a few different tools you can apply to the...

“Taking quality care of yourself can awaken your higher self”. - Jill Badonsky Nurturing ourselves is another form of self-kindness and care. For creatives and artists it is a way to open ourselves even more to our process. While we deeply connect with ourselves we devise a deeper connection with our purpose and therefore our expression. Adding boundaries to our process is a wonderful way to check in with what is serving us and what is not and how we can manage our energy and time by creating th...

The truth is we all know what we need and what we desire in this life. Its in there. Somewhere. Some have to dig deeper to unearth it and others have their most honest path easily accessible to them. The fact is, fear gets in the way and shining a bright light on all the things that look scary inside of us does not sound like a fun process. Though, turning to a place of light can really illuminate those things that we need to work through, to clear away from blocking our true selves. Making it e...

I don’t know about you but I’ve definitely been there. I’ve felt immensely overwhelmed.

We’ve all been at the beginning stages of something before, but as we get older we enjoy that part of the process less and less. As a child we were used to not knowing stuff. We didn’t fall under the spell of comparison as much because we understood the learning process more easily and life felt like this epically long thing that would never ever end, so we could take our time. Here’s the truth: comparing yourselves with experts or people that have been doing the thing you’re new at is unreasona...

In this episode I ask a few small creative questions that are meant to evoke observation, particularly of our own thoughts. Because lets face it, inside our own heads is where the change needs to start. Just noticing how we think and the things we say to ourselves can shine light on what kind of beliefs and stories we tell ourselves to be true. You can then make choices about that creating internal change, which naturally creates external change and inspired action. Join me here: Intuitive Creat...

As artists we are a little more inclined to break the rules than the next guy. Though sometimes there are rules playing out in the background that we don’t even notice are there. Giving yourself permission to ask why can be a really empowering experience. It creates the freedom to let go of the rules that aren’t serving you and make your own set. Ones that are designed to serve you and your creativity. Join me here: Intuitive Creators Academy & Collective WATCH Be Bold Begin Interviews on Yo...

Gratitude is powerful when we learn how to enlist it in our daily lives and see the things around us that we have. It can bring us into abundance.

This can elevate your thoughts from negative to positive, have an impact on your self-worth and raise awareness around what feeling abundant really means.

Breaking your own rules can feel counter productive but when the creative muse inside decides it's time to try something new, whether it's a new technique, adding a new color, trying a different style, writing for a different audience, anything at all that seems off brand from the work you've already done, we can lean into exploring that without having to let go of everything we've already created. And BONUS! We also don't need to beat ourselves up over having new ideas when we're deep in the pr...
