In this episode of the Dear Creative Mind podcast, we dive deep into the all-too-familiar cycle of procrastination. We explore the emotional roots behind procrastination—how it's not laziness, but often a response to fear, perfectionism, and overwhelm. Instead of just looking for quick fixes, we're getting curious about what's really going on under the surface. What's driving us to avoid certain things? How can we understand it better and shift our relationship with it? Let's stay curious and get closer to this pattern of stop-and-go, so we can release the important work we're holding back and finally share it with the world.About mePascale Côté is a creativity guide, therapeutic arts practitioner, artist, and writer who helps creatives meet, understand, and express themselves by guiding them to work *with* their (creative, complex, unconventional) nature instead of against it.

This is part of a series of short, soothing notes, here to hold space for you when you feel stuck.In this soothing and grounding episode, we explore the experience of overthinking—the endless loop of "what ifs" and constant mental chatter. We unpack why overthinking often feels like a way to stay in control and how recognizing it as a pattern—not your identity—can help you release its grip. You don't need to solve everything right now.Take a deep breath, and let's begin.About mePascale Côté is a creativity guide, artist, and writer who helps creatives meet, understand, and express themselves by guiding them to work *with* their (creative, complex, unconventional) nature instead of against it.

In this episode of Dear Creative Mind, we explore the power of inner anchoring to stay grounded through the ups and downs of the creative entrepreneurial journey. Instead of searching for stability outside yourself, the key is self-literacy—understanding and learning to read your own mind. Self-literacy means understanding your creative patterns, triggers, strengths, and values. It's about decoding your unique rhythm as a creator so you can trust your instincts, make better decisions, and stay connected to your true vision.⁠The Creative Liberation Portal⁠⁠About mePascale Côté is a creativity guide, artist, and writer who helps creatives meet, understand, and express themselves by guiding them to work *with* their (creative, complex, unconventional) nature instead of against it.

This is part of a series of short, soothing notes, here to hold space for you when you feel stuck.In this episode, we gently explore the feeling of being “stuck” and how it's often an illusion born from resistance within ourselves. Resistance arises when two parts of us pull in opposite directions: one part that longs to move forward, and another that seeks to protect us from what it perceives as risk. The truth is, these opposing forces can coexist in harmony when we approach them with understanding and compassion.You're not broken or blocked; you're simply at a crossroads.

I've been navigating a big transition, and in the process, I've created new resources I'm eager to share with you.I'm also sharing a fresh way to work together, and a free resource that I've designed to help you build confidence in your creative process. And—there's something else I've been working on behind the scenes, something I think could truly support you in your creative journey. :)About mePascale Côté is a creativity coach, artist, and writer who helps creatives meet, understand, and express themselves by guiding them to work *with* their (creative, complex, unconventional) nature instead of against it. She helps clients break free from the vortex of overthinking and move forward with their bold, rebellious ideas. Her work challenges conventional norms, inviting creatives to explore what's possible when they release outdated narratives and embrace their true, authentic expression. Pascale believes that art is a powerful vehicle for both individual and collective change when it's grounded in truth—created outside the rigid systems that stifle our creative spirit.About the podcastCreative minds are the architects of a new world, and their art holds the keys to reimagining our reality. The challenge is, creative minds often spend just as much time crafting self-limiting narratives as they do creating their art. Dear Creative Mind is a space for creative liberation—a pathway out of the cycle of overthinking, burnout, and stagnation. This podcast is for artists & creative entrepreneurs where Pascale, creativity coach, shares grounding meditations, gentle coaching guidance and heartfelt conversations with inspiring artists.

In this conversation, Melissa opens up about her journey with long COVID, a transformative experience that has reshaped her identity as a person, creative, dancer, and storyteller. She reflects on how the illness has woven itself into the fabric of her life, and how it brought up fear, loss, grief, anger... and also, its own kind of medicine. About Melissa Before the pandemic, Melissa Mansfield was a marketing professional who spent her off hours producing her passion project - a video series about traveling the world through dance, in which she lived abroad learning the iconic dances of places like Havana and Buenos Aires. In 2022, after a two-year hiatus, she traveled to South America to produce a new season, focusing on Cali, Colombia - the “Salsa Capital of the World”. Ten days into her trip, she contracted covid for the first time. This began a two-year journey of illness, loss, grief and - ultimately - recovery. She is now navigating a new way of being a traveler, storyteller and dancer - forever changed by her long covid experience. Follow her on Instagram About me Hello, I'm Pascale!

Do you have an inner critic? Your answer is most likely yes! I can also assume you've been wanting to get rid of it many times before. In today's episode, I'm inviting you to better understand this protective part of you and learn how to befriend it (instead of destroying it). This is an invitation to befriend this part of you: Observe— Get some perspective and distance from this part of you. See how you can observe them, without judging it. Be curious about where you can feel them in your body or what they may look like.  Befriend— Open a dialogue with this part of you. Welcome their presence with compassion, and listen to what they have to share. Get curious about their fears, and the ways they decided to protect you from them. Collaborate— See if you can start to write a new job description for them. Can they become your inner coach instead? Can they protect your growth instead of sheltering you from perceived danger?  I would love for you to keep 3 important things in mind when you feel the inner critic popping up: There's no need to judge or fight this part of you. It's there for a reason. You have the power to slowly shift the way it's protecting you. Get curious about this question: Am I moving away from what I don't want, or towards what I want?

Today, I'm chatting with former client Kimberly Graef about living life and running a business on your own terms, breaking the rules, being brave enough to be a little rebellious, and building a brand that truly feels like you. About Kimberly Kimberly is a brand designer and neurodiverse creative who translates tangled thoughts and ideas into brands that are infused with personality and rooted in strategy. She loves helping other creatives show up on their terms by challenging expectations and embracing their rhythms. Her method is centered around meeting her clients where they're at and nurturing their confidence so they feel empowered to show up. When she isn't working, you can find her reading fantasy and sipping tea, trying new vegetarian recipes, or grounding herself in nature.

This is a short practice designed to help you reconnect with your true creative identity, voice and essence. The prompts shared at the end for a journaling session: What is the texture of your art? What is your art's emotional colour palette? What would the pattern of its soundwave look like? What do you want someone to feel after encountering your art for the first time? If someone wrote the most beautiful testimonial or letter about your art, what would it say? If your art was a story/tarot card, what would be the archetype? (A fairy tale? A comic book? A tragedy? An action movie?) Reflect on your creative timeline and get curious about: What part(s) of your style has changed? What part(s) has remained constant? What always feel true?

What if I just went for it? Through coaching, we can help you: Get crystal clear on your identity, vision and voice, and calibrate your inner compass— to map out your true creative path Understand your creative nature and learn to work with all parts of creative self (rather reject who you are)Cultivate a softer inner dialogue and rewrite limiting narratives Improve your problem-solving, decision-making, and action-taking skills to create with more ease and share your art with more confidence Build a toolkit of self-honouring remedies to navigate creative existential crises Move through common creative traps (procrastination, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, burnout, overwhelm…) Learn to trust yourself in the complex process of choosing a different/rebellious/true path Build momentum and make steady progress on your creative goals— at your own perfect pace PS.

Today, I'm chatting with Ana Luísa, brand and website designer (and former client of mine). During our conversation, we explore a brave decision she's made this year: infusing more play, more fun, more simplicity into her creative work- and what changed in her life when we decided to do so. We also talk about her creative business story, human design, and the process of creating her brand new resource: the Brand Exploration workbook (link in the show notes).

If managing your creative business feels complicated and overwhelming right now... Dear creative mind, I hope this episode can offer a few different ways to make it feel a little easier, a little simpler. I'm offering guidance from a few different angles to help you uncover what might be causing your business to feel complicated, what contributes to overwhelm, and some practical tools to troubleshoot and simplify things, making your creative business feel more manageable and less overwhelming. The prompts I've shared in the episode. About overwhelm: Am I clear about my intention and the goal I'm looking to achieve? Am I clear about the very next step to take? What's creating clutter in my mind / space? What's fueling the urgency story? What's keeping the perfectionism tendencies alive? Practical things to look into: What's the level and type of energy I have access to right now, and does it make sense with what I'm trying to achieve? What's the 1 thing that can make the biggest difference? What is the one thing I offer that has the most value? And can I find ways to simplify the way I deliver it? How can I streamline my internal processes? Are there any boundaries I might need to clarify in my work contract?  Is there anything you can standardize, at least for the season? PS.

Today, I'm chatting with Corri Lynne — she's a children's book author and illustrator living in Pittsburgh with her husband and little dog, Peanut. She is passionate about living authentically and sharing openly about past trauma, addiction, and recovery. Her hope is to challenge the stigma society still holds for these issues. She is a lover of all things creative and believes in the power of art to heal and transform. Corri Lynne shared so openly and vulnerably about her own journey recovering from addiction and an eating disorder, and how she reconnected with her creative side to heal trauma... and how she now creates healing stories for children to feel more empowered in navigating their own emotional world. We also talked about some very practical ways to deal with self-doubt and shame when we create and share our art. PS. Looking to connect + create with like-minded creatives this Summer?

In this episode, I'm here to guide you towards spending more time doing rather than endlessly ruminating over the process of making art. As always, my intention is to help you navigate the complexities of your creative mind without letting it hold you back. Today, I'll share some insights to prompt you to consider other aspects of yourself that can contribute to the creative process, allowing the mind to take a back seat and let you move forward into creation mode. Having someone holding space and guiding you through this process would feel like a big exhale? I'm here! You're always welcome to book a free 30-minute call with me to talk through your dreams, challenges, and explore coaching options. PS.

Today, I'm chatting with Susan Victoria Becher, (a lovely former client of mine!) who is a poet, writer, singer/songwriter, and overall creative being. She enjoys broadening her skillset by trying new things and encouraging others to do the same. She is publishing her YA novel entitled 'Penn and Ava' this summer, with a publishing date set for July 23rd. She is also in the process of writing and recording an album. And she is currently in graduate school to become a Licensed Professional Counselor and plans to graduate in December of 2025. During our conversation, we explore the creative process of publishing a book and recording an album, chat about the healing power of art, dive into the courage of making big life changes and finding communities that truly support us, and discuss small steps to navigate the vulnerable process of sharing our art with the world. Susan is currently running a crowdfunding campaign to support the publishing of her YA novel.

This is an official invitation to join us for Devotion, a 5-week series of community gatherings where we come together to create space for a project that's been sitting on the shelves of our creative mind. Some of us will dedicate time to finishing existing projects or starting on new ones, while others will take the opportunity to explore something new or reconnect with a creative practice, all with the support of each other. Together, we'll embrace the messy drafts, the works in progress, and the creative detours. No deadlines, no judgments— just a supportive environment where you can build momentum + make progress on your project at your own pace. The next series begin on April 25th, and I would love to see you there! Sessions will be recorded if you cannot attend live.

As you build this practical tool for your business, you're also constructing a home for your work, making it a beautiful journey of self-discovery.

Today, I'm chatting with brand designer + strategist (and former client of mine!) Kat Fletcher from Crafted Wild. We delve into her recent creative rebirth, discussing the process of building a business that allows space for your truest self and humanity. We explore how entrepreneurship can serve as an insightful mirror into our personal lives, as it is often intertwined with our self-healing journey. Kat generously shares beautiful images that illustrate the process of branding your business in a way that aligns with who you are. She also provides a few excellent resources and offers beautiful reminders for us all. Kat built her business intuitively while traveling, and she believes that we are inherently crafted wild. However, along the way, societal norms and expectations cause us to lose some of our wildness. She is on a mission to help women create a business and a life that makes them feel alive and empowered. Connect with Kat Kat is a brand designer and strategist, working with women who want to grow a conscious, values-based business. With a holistic approach, she works with her clients to create a brand that's beautiful, meaningful and a true expression of who they are.

She is here to guide creatives towards remembering their creative gifts from a place of rest and ease.

Have you ever found yourself standing at a crossroad, torn between abandoning your creative goals or sacrificing your well-being in the pursuit of achievement? Making room for both ambition and self-care is a delicate art. In this coaching episode, we delve into the nurture/structure polarity, untangling the intricacies of tending to both emotion and ambition on your creative path. We navigate the delicate duality of being ambitious while respecting our emotional needs—a journey that oscillates between building and feeling. In a world that often pushes us to go to extremes, we talk about the difficulties of thinking in all-or-nothing ways. Let's work together to find simple ways to support your ambition and take care of your feelings. We'll free ourselves from unhelpful ideas and systems that hold back our creativity.

How can I stop being interrupted by self-criticism every time I'm about to create? In this episode, we explore our relationship to criticism— whether it's feedback we receive from someone else, or from ourselves (ie: inner critic). We take a look at what the resistance we feel around it, and discern constructive vs destructive criticism so we can set boundaries (with others and ourselves) to receive and use feedback in a helpful way.  Some pointers for asking constructive feedback: Approach feedback with an open-mind, as an opportunity for personal growth. Keep an open mind before seeking any feedback, be it from others or your inner critic. Select the right source: carefully choose someone whose opinion you value. Seek feedback from individuals who understand your work and can provide valuable insights. Express your vulnerability: be honest about your apprehensions. Acknowledge your vulnerability by sharing your feelings: "I'm seeking feedback on my work, and it feels vulnerable. I'm looking to enhance my skills and would appreciate specific pointers." Evaluate the feedback: when you receive feedback, assess its nature. Distinguish between constructive criticism and destructive comments. Set boundaries; if it doesn't benefit you, gently let it go. Seek clarification, ask for examples, and delve deeper to ensure you receive specific feedback. Detach from self-worth: remember, feedback does not define your self-worth. It is aimed at improving your skills as an artist or business owner. Choose to reflect and respond thoughtfully, instead of reacting emotionally. Embrace feedback as a tool for growth and development. Loving reminder: You don't have to do anything with the feedback you receive. You're the best person to know how/if it serves you. ;) Setting boundaries around the type of feedback you're open to receive might be helpful.   Leave your voice notes + questions here: https://www.speakpipe.com/DearCreativeMind About me Hello, I'm Pascale!

How can I overcome the fear of failing at my dreams? At times, we might hold ourselves back from pursuing a path because it might fail, or we feel scared to take action because, well...

How do I stop rebelling against my own structure? Many creative minds (including mine) struggle with setting and maintaining structure. We often end up rebelling against it. In this episode, we're exploring the resistance we experience regarding structure. I'm sharing some reasons why you might be experiencing this in your life, including the internal conflict that can arise when a part of us craves freedom while another part seeks structure. We also discuss what we can do about it so we can build a healthier relationship with ourselves, our art, and structure.  Join Devotion, a 5-week series to make progress on your creative goals this fall: https://www.dearcreativemind.com/the-creative-playground-events About me Hello, I'm Pascale!

My role is to help them find their way back to self-trust so they can fully step into the next level of their creative vision, business and self. Together, we work on softening the inner wars they host, building emotional resilience and stepping away from the cycle of self-betrayal. Curious about working together? You're welcome to ⁠⁠book a complimentary call⁠⁠ so we can meet and explore coaching support options. About the podcast The Dear Creative Mind Podcast explores the depths, textures, colours and intricacies of our creative mind. Pascale Cote, coach for artists and creative entrepreneurs shares guidance on untangling the knots that often keeps us stuck in a cycle of burnout and stagnation. You'll find grounding meditations to soothe your mind, coaching notes to help you find more focus + flow, and conversations with other artists to inspire you… in the hopes of helping you better understand your creative mind, and elevate your creative work.
