You Are Creative || June's Theme

Time to dispel the myths and discover your interests.

With the new month comes a new theme, and I really hope this one doesn't scare anyone off! We are going to dive into creativity - what it is, what it isn't, and how to have more of it in our daily lives. I suggest downloading the Progress Plan so you can work through it as you listen to this episode where I remind you of something that maybe you've forgotten: you ARE creative.

About creativity myths and motivation

There are a lot of myths about creativity, for instance saying it needs to be artistic, traditionally fun, produce a product, etc. You know the myths and maybe that's why you're nervous. Because as a result you've simply told yourself you're not creative, and that's now the story you believe. But, you are!

In this episode I give countless examples of what creativity can look like, and share specifically what works for me. I urge you to consider your natural gifts and interests, to pursue those creatively. For me, a "30 by 30" bucket list along these lines launched everything you're a part of here today. I had no idea that would happen at the time, but I sure am grateful.

Here is what creativity looked like for me last week, and what it looks like for my grandpa, a teacher and farmer by trade!

Give yourself permission to create, and to do so in whatever way it happens to look like for you. Also to redefine what creativity is at this point in your life, if you need to. I'll link several more resources to get those juices flowing below in the show notes. I can't wait to hear from you this month as we progress in our talents and grow in our willingness to try new things.

About a few other things

You may have noticed something about last month's solo episodes - I opened up a lot about the behind-scenes-of my life and this podcast. There is a reason and I cannot wait to tell you everything on June 13th. If you want to be one of the first to know just sign up here.

Last thing, did you hear me read that podcast review? Those mean the world to me, thank you!! I'm celebrating my birthday month by asking you to leave a rating and review if you haven't already, then I'm rewarding one each week with some of my favorite things as prizes. Even something short and sweet will help our community grow, so we can reach everyone who needs to hear these lessons and messages.
