Bringing back that loving feeling
What do you do if you notice you're starting to lose the joy, or you feel like you're on auto-pilot? In this episode, we'll talk about how you can bring back that loving feeling and rekindle the flame with your craft and creativity.
Creating a Trust-List
So often we get stuck in fear-based thinking about our voice, creativity, practice and work. Today, we're going to create what I call a "Trust-List".
The power of creating containers and setting rules for your creative work
Unlimited possibilities to choose from might sound really awesome at first, but when it comes to creative work or practice, you'll soon find out that having unlimited possibilities to choose from is actually not such a great thing at all. In this podcast episode, we'll talk about how creating a container or framework with a very specific set of rules, is going to help your creativity to flow, and even help you to finish things.
Getting faster at starting your creative work
As a busy creative, you'll need to learn how to switch gears quickly. One moment you're drinking your morning coffee, teaching, reading an interesting article...or sitting on the sofa - the other moment you want to switch quickly to be doing your creative work. If you're unable to switch gears quickly, you'll get caught up in the stream of choices we make each day, or end up procrastinating, thinking "you need to get ready" first. In this episode, I'll share one of my favorite ways to train the brain to switch gears quickly, and share what I've learned about how to create the circumstances for this practice to be most successful.
Connecting to our creative roots
In this episode, we'll honour the past and connect to our creative roots, sources of inspiration, teachers and mentors...those who paved the way for us.
Moving through the Inner Critic voices
Exploring ways and strategies to move through the Inner Critic voices.
Getting past day three
In every creative project, there's day one, day three...and then there's day four... These appear on different timelines. But one thing is for sure: day four tends to be the defining day, the "make it or break it day". This is the day when we often stop showing up. Learning to recognize when the energy of day four kicks in (it might not literally be on the fourth day of your project timeline) will help us move through it.
The magic of creating time and space
How do you create time for your practice, for your creative work, for that project that you feel so passionate about and really want to pursue?
Your younger and future self guiding your creative life

Gratitude, the fundamental practice for all creatives
Welcome to December VOICINGS: partly Christmas calendar, partly podcast. These messages and practices over the coming 24 days are here to help you connect to your creative Source, to your inspiration, to your own voice, to your craft and to your art, and to help shine some light on the areas that might need some adjustments, attention, development, change, or some tender love and care.
We'll start with probably the most important practice of them all: the practice of gratitude. Why is practicing gratitude so important for us creatives? And what could change if we could tune in to gratitude more frequently?
