Pull up a seat, I have a story to share with you..

Pull up a seat, I have a story to share with you... 📝It all begins ten years ago. ⠀
⠀
...⠀
⠀
She arrived home after working a standard 14hr day, threw her bag down and flopped lifelessly at her kitchen table. Tired, unhappy and a soul so weary she was brought to a full on stream of uncontrollable tears. ⠀
⠀
It was more than a feeling of being over worked, and under appreciated. It was a feeling much bigger than her, much bigger than that moment. She felt a force nudging her to her breaking point because she knew there was more to life than what she felt in that moment.⠀
⠀
Hunched over and a pang of being lost in the middle of her life. Sadness washed over her and swept her up. ⠀
⠀
...⠀
⠀
What came of that broken down moment, you ask? ⠀
⠀
For the first time in her whole life she took a chance, a gamble and went all in on her dreams. She quit her secure job on a whim, trading comfort for the unknown. ⠀
⠀
She returned to college full time and started the photography business she had only ever viewed as a far fetched dream! More than that, she became the most dedicated pupil of life. ⠀
⠀
...⠀
⠀
This story is about a past version of myself. And I share this with you, because I know first hand the heart ache that comes with second guessing your career path and with feeling 'stuck' in your life. ⠀
⠀
I believe with my whole heart that I have been through the trenches of life, of self discovery and the very real truths of building this creative business so that I may take your hand and guide you.⠀
⠀
Because life is too precious to be mediocre and you deserve ALL that is on your heart.⠀
⠀

In these non-spammy emails, I am overjoyed to share tried and tested self-care, wellness and business strategies for creative entrepreneurs. ⠀
⠀
It’s my dream to see each of you fulfil your dreams and reach your ultimate potential.

📖Keep your eyes on your own paper! ⠀ ⠀ Draw

📖Keep your eyes on your own paper! ⠀
⠀
Drawing inspiration from others is important, but trying to keep up and live someone else's life is just a sad reality you don't want to find yourself in. ⠀
⠀
When we spend so much time focused on being an observer rather than a unique creator of our own lives, we lose ourselves. Our hungry ambitions suddenly become a cheap replica of someone else's dream.⠀
⠀
🙏EMBRACE TUNNEL VISION TO ACHIEVE YOUR OWN GOALS FASTER; ⠀
⠀
▪️Unplug and spend time in solitude.⠀
Nothing will crush your spirit faster than sitting there watching everyone else live their life. Quit sacrifices your own happiness by watching what everyone else is doing and explore your own desires alone. Sit with yourself and dig deep on what YOU actually want to accomplish. What's truly on your heart to create?⠀
⠀
▪️Set a routine for your day. ⠀
Routines set clear expectations for yourself and allow that flow state you are likely lacking. Construct a framework for your day and week. Give yourself this level of discipline and watch how fast your own desires start to blossom into your reality.⠀
⠀
▪️Listen to that inner voice (aka your intuition).⠀
Tune in and listen up! This inner voice is there to guide you so take that time to go inward. It was Albert Einstein who said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it,” and this couldn’t be any truer. ⠀
⠀
Lastly, shine gratitude on the little things in your life and I promise you will be blessed with more abundance. But if you focus on the fact that everyone seems to have more than you, then you will never have enough. ⠀
⠀
Stop worrying about the success of your friends and turn inward to your own path. ⠀
~ What do YOU want to create? {Explore this question in great depth.} ⠀

Revive your creative business that isn’t going s

Revive your creative business that isn’t going so well 🌱⠀
⠀
Anyone who has been a business owner for more than a decade will tell you that they have experienced all kinds of ups and downs. This is the inevitable push and pull and truth for any business owner. ⠀
⠀
True success comes in the resilient moments of picking yourself back up in the downward moments of running a business. ⠀
⠀
As creatives we all want to be profitable with selling our work, but getting the profits flowing is a whole feat in itself. Especially for us 'right brained' business owners who thrive more in the space of artistic freedom and creativity. ⠀
⠀
Ensuring we are taking a moment to stretch that left side of our brain and encourage more logical reasoning is key to our success as creative business owners! ⠀
⠀
🔸Take an honest look at your situation. ⠀
As creatives we all just want to create the art, the thing that makes our hearts tick. But taking an honest look at your efforts in selling and marketing is the first step in gaining the clarity you are lacking. ⠀
⠀
🔸Rethink your strategy. ⠀
You need to be very clear on what you are creating, who you are creating it for and most importantly why you are creating it! ~ Aligning these three pillars will be the driving force to setting up your creative business for real profits. ⠀
⠀
🔸Let go of pride. ⠀
Holding onto pride is just a different way of saying you are scared of failure. Sometimes it's not beneficial to take ourselves so seriously. Explore life with curiosity and be ok with failing. After all, failure is our greatest teacher. ⠀
⠀
🔸Revisit your passion. ⠀
Passion is what set you down this path in the first place. It's what set your soul on fire to create, to build, and to actively spend all those last nights eagerly learning. Relight that flame inside of you with a personal project and get back to that place of creating simply for the fun of it. This level of passion is what is felt from your audience and what will draw people to your work.⠀
⠀
Curious to know ~ what are you struggling most with right now?

We all fall victim to the stories we tell ourselve

We all fall victim to the stories we tell ourselves in our heads. ⠀
⠀
Let me spill some truth ~ we have been programmed to keep ourselves safe! And so we talk ourselves out of almost anything that doesn't feel 'certain'. ⠀
⠀
When fear arises, we back down. Because the thought of failing is humiliating. So we sit there with our mouths shut, going through the lifeless motions of life. ⠀
⠀
We continue to clock into jobs we hate, counting down the days and hours until we can reach the weekend. We participate in the cycle of unhealthy relationships because it's all we've ever known. And we numb out our reality by abusing our bodies with terrible food, drugs and booze because we cling to the false feeling of comfort.⠀
⠀
{I know - I have participated in all of that too}⠀
⠀
Because the truth is certainty feels safer then not knowing. Comfort feels better than doing the hard work. But this is all entrapment wrapped in a pretty bow. ⠀
⠀
This way of living is paralyzing you and standing in the way of your true desires! Something needs to change babe! CHANGE IS NOW! Stand in your power. ⠀
⠀
🙏🙏🙏⠀
⠀
CONNECT TO YOUR BIGGER VISION⠀
Meditation. Journalling. Vision boards. These are all such powerful tools to manifesting your desires. Spend time with your dreams and gain clarity in your visions. Then recite them out loud. Let your visions and dreams echo into existence.⠀
⠀
OWN YOUR TRUTH.⠀
Listen up -- it does not matter how many people laugh at your hungry ambitions and it's more then ok if they don't understand. But remember; it's not your job to make them understand you. Your job is to own your inner truth and shine in a way that is authentic to you. Own your narrative, and watch what flows into your life.⠀
⠀
LET GO & LET FLOW.⠀
Trust in the diving timing of your life. What you want will arrive when its suppose to. Go with the flow instead of trying to force it babe! ⠀
⠀
✨✨✨⠀
Your homework for this weekend - Get outside, take your shoes off, sink into the earth, breathe in her aroma, fill your lungs with pure air and dance with the good vibes flowing around you. Close your eyes and really get reconnected. ⠀
⠀
Feel the energy babe, and let it encapsulate you.

Love Life
