If you are looking for a way to expand your creative realms and push past limiting beliefs/fears to set you free. Today's episode is worth a listen.

If any of the following resonates with you...

• You're losing motivation in your creative project(s)
• You often subconsciously make it more about the audience than you do about your own satisfaction
• You can't seem to tell when the project you created is "done"
• You're overly critical about your work
• You often get confused by resistance in your work and label it as intuition
• The process of creating is more dreadful than it is enjoyable

Don't worry, you're in the right place! I'm so glad you've tuned in today and I hope after you listen to this episode you will feel a sense of confidence in your work moving forward.

Today I have a special guest on the show... my big brother Tom!

In this episode, we talk all about the creative process and everything that either hinders or leads to creative fulfillment. Some topics we'll cover include: the process of creating, being satisfied with the outcome of your work, motivation vs. discipline, the audience, etc.

As Tom is currently perusing stand-up comedy, we were able to connect both of our personal experiences with being a creator, in a way that is digestible for you (the listener) to understand and apply the topics at hand to your own life.

Journal prompts for creative fulfillment:

1. What are you passionate about? (These can be things you have not yet explored)
2. What is something you are really good at?
3. What do you believe your purpose in life is?
4. What are the limiting beliefs that constantly make you feel like you're not making any progress in your creative endeavors?
5. Be honest, do you feel that your sense of worth comes directly from your audience or would you feel satisfied just knowing that you were putting your best work out there?
6. What is your relationship with time like in your creative process? Do you often feel like you're rushing to get things out, do you feel very present in the process, or do you feel like you're not moving fast enough?
7. What is one thing you took from today's episode that you can apply to your own personal creative approach to life?

If you're feeling or have ever felt as though your needs are not being met, your feelings are being invalidated, or you're constantly being told that you standards are "too high," then today's episode is for you.

In this episode, I express some of my own personal non-negotiables and boundaries I set with myself to help you, as the listener, understand how and when to set boundaries of your own. The tangible tips I bring to you through personal experience with this topic will help you to foster deeper, more meaningful relationships in your life that make you feel understood and intern, loved.

Journal prompts for setting boundaries:

1. Make a list of your non-negotiables on one side and your preferences on the other
2. What makes you feel loved?
3. What are your triggers? What pushes your buttons and makes you feel uneasy?
4. What ways do you feel invalidated in your current situation?
5. What is the barrier that is keeping you from setting boundaries with yourself/others?

Season 2 is here! In season 2, we're keeping the theme of naturistic growth going by starting at our roots...our youth.

A lot of the questions we are searching for can be answered by our younger selves. We try to look for relief from the outside world only to learn that we have everything we need to heal right inside of us. This season will help you find compassion for your past selves that lie within you. You will understand how to utilize your own tools to help understand your needs better and heal the parts of you that have been silenced for too long. Healing starts at our roots.

Journal prompts to help heal your inner child:

1. What brought me the most joy as a child?
2. In what ways can you show up for your younger self today, that you couldn't back then?
3. What did your younger self need that he/she never got?
4. What is something that your younger self would be surprised about you now?
5. If you could describe your childhood in one word, what would it be?
6. Write a letter to your younger self
7. Reflect on a painful childhood experience. How have these feelings you attach to this memory bled into your life today?
8. What were your biggest triggers as a kid? What are they now? Notice any overlaps and reflect on them.
9. What advice would you give your younger self?
10. What did you want to be when you were younger? How has this changed now?

Today I sat on the mic and talked about some lessons I've learned recently that I think you may need to hear as well.

When you are a very loving person, yearning for deep connections in life, it's easy to jump at the next person that gives you the slightest glimpse of what you think you're looking for. This ultimately will lead to your needs not being met because your expectations going into this connection were already unrealistic, given that you barely knew this person from the start.

I am here to give you all the reassurance and guidance that you may need right now, in order to move on and unlock your worth moving forward.

*****PLEASE REMEMBER*****

There is no such thing as loving "too hard"

You are and have always been enough

You are loved.

Some journal prompts for today's episode:

1. What dreams are you burying inside of you right now, afraid of telling people?
2. Why are you afraid to tell people about your passions?
3. What is the story you've created about the way that you love?
4. In what ways are yo holding yourself back from having all your needs met?
5. If you were forced to go back in time and restructure the way that you handled the situation at play, what would you do differently?
6. What is weighing on you right now? What made you feel this way?
7. Who told you that you were "unlovable," "too much," or "not enough?"
8. When have you ever forced a relationship in your life that led to someone being a part of your life long-term?

Everything you'll ever need is inside of you. Seek from within.
