Check out this episode of the Creative Spotlight, and let me reassure you that you have gifts worth acknowledging, sharing, dreaming up, and ultimately worth Creating!

What Artists Have That Money Can't Buy

We all know about the Starving Artist, but what about the Luxurious one? In this episode of the Creative Spotlight, I'm going to give you a brand new perspective on what it means to be the Creative Soul that you are, no matter how much money your artwork brings in. This is a shift worth making, so let's dive into the creative pool together.

Creatives, Stop Trying to Solve This Problem

Ever felt like you're stuck in the problem solving hamster wheel? Endlessly spinning, ruminating, searching for the solution. Some problems do need to be solved, but a whole bunch them actually don't. Dive into the creative pool with me because in this episode we explore the powerful act of dissolution. Oh my darlings, what a relief!

Why Finished Beats Flawless

One of my stage characters is named Sheila, she's obsessed with perfection. Let's be real, she's represents a piece of me who's also hopelessly seeking perfection. Do you have an internal Sheila too? If so, then watch this episode of the Creative Spotlight because we can learn from Sheila's mistakes. Perfection isn't helping your creative craft, it's holding you back. But... there is a way to use your desire for perfection to your absolute benefit. Let's dive into the creative pool together and find out how.

Why Your BIG Creative Dream Isn't Moving... Yet

In this episode of the Creative Spotlight, I'll help you navigate a simple but powerful exercise that will propel you into aligned action toward your big creative vision. Is it the right action? Can you actually accomplish your dream? Can "one action" really make a difference? The answer to all of those questions is YES! As always, I'm your creative cheerleader on the sideline, and I believe the world needs your creative vision. So, let's go do our Creative work... together.

Stop Believing You're Unsupported

This concept absolutely changed the way I view and experience creative work. I used to feel like my dreams and visions were bigger than me, that there was no way I could actually bring them all to fruition. Then something changed - a single word - and I realized my work was easier and more joyful than ever before. And that I truly was capable of creating whatever beautiful vision blossomed in my mind. In this episode, I help you create a subtle but powerful shift that will unlock your ability to bring to life the visions you so deeply desire to create. Let's make the shift... together.

Is Your Creative Process Holding You Back?

Creatives be like: let me do my thang and don't tell me how to do it. That's often how I am. Creativity needs freedom to flow, but if you intend to monetize your work, thus freeing up more time to create more work because that's what you love doing, then you're going to need a little structure behind that creative freeform workflow. In this episode of the Creative Spotlight, we examine your creative process and see what you need to change to turn your creative passion into a creative income.

You Don't Need More Time to Create More

Time is the number one limited resource I hear about from the Creatives in my community - "If I just had more time, I could create more of my art work." While there is some truth in that, it's not helpful. In this episode, we look at real world solutions to the time problem, and how you can create as much as you want and it will even come out better if you don't have more time.

Don't Create Anything Without Applying This Rule

In this episode of the Creative Spotlight, I share the wisdom of the great Twyla Tharp. I've been applying her concept to every one of my creative projects for over the last decade. In fact, I don't embark on a new project without it. It's simple, but it will add depth and desired complexity to your creative visions. This is a simple way to get a lot better at your medium.

How Your Limited Resources = Creative Expansion

In this episode of the Creative Spotlight, I share one my favorite lessons I've learned as a career creative. In my immersive theater, we've often found ourselves working on a tiny budget, in limited spaces, with only so many actors, etc, etc, etc. Working with limited creative resources can actually give you an incredible edge as an artist. In fact, it might even make you a better artist than you would be with all the resources under the sun. Let's find out why!
