    13: EP 13 From seeking meaning to making meaning with Eric Maisel
    Apr 30 2021
    I am someone who is fascinated by psychology and human behaviour and so when these subjects are combined with my favourite subject – CREATIVITY – I’m in conversation heaven. 

    In this episode I have the pleasure of talking to Dr Eric Maisel, a retired family therapist widely regarded as America’s foremost creativity coach. He is also the author of over fifty books; including titles such as Unleashing the Artist Within, Fearless Creating, Creative Recovery, The Power of Daily Practice, and Mastering Creative Anxiety – to name only a few.

    Eric also writes extensively in the area known as critical psychiatry, where he is a thought-leader and advocate for significant shifts in mental health paradigms and practices. He writes the “Rethinking Mental Health” blog for Psychology Today (with 2.5 million views) as well as weekly blogs for The Good Men Project. 

    Eric leads workshops for writers online and around the world, and he lives in beautiful California. 

     In this episode we discuss…

    • The biggest and most common challenges, either conscious or unconscious that stop people from doing the work

    • Sleep Thinking - how you can use your sleep to enhance your creativity

    • Exposure - establishing how much of yourself you are comfortable revealing. 

    • How to dispute sabotaging thoughts so that they don’t sabotage your creative work

    •  The role anxiety plays in the creative process and why establishing a portable anxiety management strategy is essential

    •  The biggest cause of creative anxiety 

    •  How to stay on the inside of your creative work, not get trapped outside of it

    •  Choosing your life purposes versus finding your life purpose

    •  Moving from seeking meaning to making meaning 

    And SO much more!

    If you’re someone who wants to develop a deeper, stronger, and more meaningful relationship with your creative work, then I can assure you, this episode and Eric’s powerful insights and ideas, are going to help you do just that!  

    And a special note to all you memoir writers out there… 

    If you’re trying to write your memoir but struggling  – Eric shares some illuminating ideas  about what might be holding you back and what you can do to move forward – so it’s definitely worth a listen!

    12: EP 12: Choosing your story with Nicky Raby
    Apr 23 2021
    This week’s episode of The Creativity Campus Podcast and I’m talking to Nicky Raby!   
    Nicky has such an impressive portfolio career, that pulls and weaves together so many strands of her creativity. She is an actor, qualified life and business coach, she is a writer, speaker and her specialism is helping people build thriving, profitable, and fulfilling personal brands for themselves. Her podcast ‘Dreaming and Doing with Nicky Raby’ regularly features on the top 100 business podcasts on iTunes, and it has had over 100k downloads, which, for someone releasing their twelfth episode today, is pretty humbling.   As I was recording today’s episode, I was reminded of the saying; you are the author of your life story, which is one of the powerful themes at the heart of today’s episode!  

    During this conversation, Nicky shares her own creative journey and reveals how, by becoming strategic, taking control and ultimately, by actually choosing what she wants her story to be, she has been able to build a thriving portfolio career and help many others do the same.     Following your creativity and pursuing a creative career, is not always the easiest of paths. Very often, it can feel like handing over the controls and letting someone else take the wheel. Accepting that this is the story of what a creative life looks like, we can get swept along for the ride, even when we don’t like the direction, we’re moving in. 
    If your current story is no longer serving you, your life or your creativity, you don’t need to accept it. You can choose a different story. And if you’re not sure how to do that, then this conversation with Nicky is going to be a great place to start.

    Happy Listening!   Christina X

  • 11: Putting your work (and yourself) out there with Marc Silber

    11: Putting your work (and yourself) out there with Marc Silber
    Apr 16 2021
    Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of The Creativity Campus Podcast.

    Today I’m talking to Marc Silber about his brilliant book; Create – tools from seriously talented people to unleash your creative life. 

    Marc is also the author of the #1 best-selling book Advancing Your Photography, he’s an award-winning video producer, photographer, and photography educator. Marc’s highly popular YouTube Show, Advancing your Photography has won several Telly Awards and if photography is your thing, it is definitely one to check out.

    I caught up with Marc during the height of lockdown and this conversation, which he recorded from his home in California, making me a little jealous, was such a delight and filled me with so much energy to create. 

    This conversation is crammed full of helpful tools and techniques to support your creative process, in it, we talk about;

    • The Five Stages of Creativity and how you can use them to structure and support your creative process 

    • Visualisation, what it is, why it’s so important and how we can all become better at doing it

    •  When to ‘let it flow’ and when to edit and why you need to know the difference.

    • Putting your work out into the world; dealing with fear, stage fright and negative feedback

    • The stigma of failing and how to reframe so you can begin to embrace it

    • And in this episode, Marc debunks one the greatest creative excuses of all time and shares his secret to boasting creativity by 60% 

    I hope this episode encourages you to put your work (and yourself) out into the world and helps you to accept it’s all just a necessary, albeit scary, part of the process!

    Happy listening (and sharing)! 

    Christina X
