The Creative Code

Trust in the process doesn’t mean bypassing feeling how shit it can be at times. The creative process is non linear, I talk about that a lot. But within that, something I have been seeing a bit lately is creatives who are going through a shit time - Be it life stuff or problems their facing in their creative business or just that their experience a creative block that they’re struggling to overcome - and not allowing themselves to sit in those emotions. Kinda of in the creative equivalent of spiritual bypassing.

We’re allowed to be human!! You don’t always have to put a positive spin on everything. You don’t always have to be sitting there repeating to yourself “it all happens for a reason” over and over. Because sometimes things are just straight up shit. You’re allowed to feel whatever might come up with that. You’re allowed to be angry, sad, frustrated, happy, or whatever else.

And I unpack all of this in this episode!

Hello and welcome back!!

I am so grateful to have you hear and so excited to be back sharing with you guys in this space! It's been a while!

I am here with the rebirth of this podcast, The Creative Code.

While many things from my initially podcast iteration will remain, this time, I have more fire than ever before. Because I have walked through the flames, across the coals, done the work, and am continuing to do the work. I know that the things that I will be sharing are the things I would have loved to have been told, to have known, two, three, four years ago when I was starting out.

I am here to help creatives shift from feeling insecure and lost in the creative world, to finding confidence and clarity.

I am here to help you find your creative style, something that took me until mere months ago to do. To share the stories of other creatives, because multiple perspectives and voices are needed and should be shared.

I am giving you your permission slip to do things differently. To do things your way. Fuck the rule book! Creativity shouldn’t ever be bound by rules.

The fresh title of the Creative Code is all about you finding your own code, finding your creativity, your voice, your path, your style. It’s about giving you the tangible tools and tips that you need to forge your own path, and live your life by your unique creative code. There is not one single code that works for everyone.

This is for you if you have ever felt lost, disheartened, insecure, unsure as a creative or in your creative business.

These episodes will be all about conscious conversations on all things creativity, confidence, finding your state of genius, energy and unpacking the paradigms that are keeping creatives in a state of struggle. Here we will celebrate contradictions, embrace individuality, support you in finding your style and voice, and share conversations with friends to dive even deeper. And you will walk away from each episode with tangible tips and truth bombs, that will help you pave your own path, utilise your creative license and find your confidence as an artist.

Are you ready to dive in?

In this episode we are diving into the topic of fearing failure. I explore how fear of failing can be so strong that we don't take the first step, how it can result in us "settling", and why success and failure are besties!

Failure has become a close friend of mine. I used to be so terrified to fail, so terrified that I often wouldn't even do the thing! But reality is that not trying is to fail before you begin, and ready is a lie. You wont ever feel 110% ready, you just have to have faith in the process and make the jump. Just jump, Universe, Source, God, will be there.
