Creative Conversations with Hollis Citron

The I Am Creative Podcast is all about expanding the definition of what creativity means beyond a pencil and a paintbrush . We are having authentic conversations structured around three questions: 1. How we define creativity means 2. How we incorporate it into our lives 3. How creativity has healed us spiritually, emotionally and or physically 4. Why it is important These are not light questions... it is kind of the meaning of life... We do all of this while having fun!!!!  We are all here to make a difference , using our power for good. My inspiring guest for today, Leslie Kuny is a full-time dance teacher and choreographer, a certified dance adjudicator through The Dance Leadership Institute and the Professional Adjudicators Alliance and the Artistic Director and owner of Absolute Motion Performance & Dance studio in Surrey British Columbia. Her passion is empowering and educating the next generation of dancers to be their best selves. Leslie's human-centred approach to coaching rejects the outdated norms of fear-based authoritarian learning that is so frequently associated with dance education. Through authenticity, accountability, and alignment Leslie brings out the best in her dancers and leads them to their individual goals. Her greatest joy is working with students, both in the studio and from behind the adjudicators' table, to assist them in uncovering who they truly are as dancers and as people.

" Creativity is light, bubbly energy" - Rebecca Eckland   Rebecca Eckland is an author, editor, and certified Soul-Based Coach who helps clients find their intrinsic and empowered methods to pursue personal growth or to work through transitions in their personal, professional, and creative lives. I am also the Founder and CEO of With Wings, LLC., a coaching business that supports authors, caregivers, creatives, artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone who is looking to infuse their life with creative energy, purpose and clarity.   Since, 2021 she has been a certified Soul-Based Coach and have attended multiple trainings on advanced Clean Language facilitation. Soul-Based Coaching is based on the work of David Grove as the developer of Clean Language, as well as Penny Tompkins and James Lawley as developers of Symbolic Modeling. This modality gently works with clients to develop clear articulation of goals, desires and a deeper understanding of their own psychological functioning in order to support the transformation they desire in a way that is congruent to their systemic patterns.   Soul-Based Coaching is best understood by experiencing it, as part of it happens in the realm that we cannot know, see or touch. As a Soul-Based Coach, I work with the way a client shapes his or her own reality, working to understand the structures of their cognition and to find where the margin resides. In those margins, shifts, transformations, and changes can start to happen in effective, often startling ways!   To connect with Rebecca:  http://rebeccaaeckland.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rebecca.eckland/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-a-eckland-992b2927/ Twitter: @rebeccane https://www.facebook.com/RebeccaAEckland/about     This podcast is all about inspiring , connecting and sharing stories Like, follow and share so we can hear each other and expand the definition of creativity to make it all inclusive!

" Be willing to give ourselves grace", "Feel the feelings", " As parents we cultivate worlds", "Privledge is connection". These are some of the topics that came through in this space.   As parents vulnerability is a big part of the process. As parents we are challenged to grow, allow and hold space for our children.    We, adults,  also need to allow for nothing to go as planned and let it go.    This applies to the adults wanting to convey this to their parents and those parents with children toddler to adult. There is a line that often gets confusing when we want the best for our kids and push ideas and it is not necessarily in the best interest of the child.   This. is a space to open up the conversation and explore different perspectives, share stories and inspire each other to allow each other to show up in the best way possible.   To connect and join the mailing list go to: https://bit.ly/3BMrMZA

This  panel discussion of the year and it was enlightening.   Love this quote, " Vulnerability is lacking now a days in our society".    I personally don't think Dad's get to express themselves enough and it was great scratching the surface of many topics.

I don't think Dads are heard enough.   We will be exploring if they always wanted to be a father, if they parent like their father and so much more. Let's see where the conversation goes. We would love for you to be a part of it.   What this space is about:    Sign up for the mailing list to stay in the loop: https://bit.ly/3BMrMZA   Whether you have one kid or twelve, not one is the same.

SO much covered here.   New traditions, experiences, grief and loss structure and flexibility.   Love this quote from the discussion " Permission to say NO".    During this time of year and everyday it is about protecting your energy and having the permission to say this quote below to allow more joy in your life.   There is no manual to be being a parent. The child does not come with directions. These topics explore and take a deep dive to start conversations that will spark new topics to create new topics, it is only the beginning.   The holidays hold a lot of meaning, emotions, traditions, joy, excitement, stress for individuals and families. As parents we are learning and navigating our way through this thing called ”parenting” and we often take our stories along with us or make a concerted effort to make it different as we become moms and dads.   What this space is about:    Sign up for the mailing list to stay in the loop: https://bit.ly/3BMrMZA   Whether you have one kid or twelve, not one is the same.

As a parent that is with a partner or single there is a whole bunch to navigate along the way. We have found it important to laugh and create community so we can ask real questions and talk about topics that might be avoided. There is no question or topic that is silly. If you are wondering there is not doubt others are as well.    There is no manual on parenting. We call this space the art of parenting your own way.   Real Connection: 1, 2.3 put your phone down There is no manual on parenting and we are figuring it out as we go along. In this space parents talk about their experiences and what we learn on the spot and as we go along.   The age of electronics is one that past generations have not had to deal with. We are talking about real connection with our kids and what that even means.    What this space is about:    Sign up for the mailing list to stay in the loop: https://bit.ly/3BMrMZA   Whether you have one kid or twelve, not one is the same.

Learned so much talking to Sydney Bass We talked about fashion in a different way.

Love this quote, " I am ok with waiting for the piece to find me".    Sydney Bass is a personal stylist, mindset coach and business strategist. In 2009, Sydney launched Chic Stripes, her personal style blog that focused on creating individualized style by shopping second hand first. She parlayed her blog into a successful personal styling business where she works with women to create sustainable and timeless core wardrobes that work for them not against them.   As a stylist, Sydney has been featured on numerous television segments, worked with local and national brands, has been featured by the Wall Street Journal and the Today Show, was named Richmond's Top Fashion Blogger in 2015 by Richmond Magazine, and continues to be the area's go-to style expert.   In 2017, after seeing a need in the industry, she launched what is now The Profitable Stylist where she teaches stylists how to go from overworked to profitably booked through a high dollar signature service. She has worked with dozens of clients using her Profitable Stylist Framework to help them create truly transformative style experiences while also confidently raising their prices.   Sydney is a graduate of the Los Angeles-based School of Style, worked as a stylist for Keaton Row, and has a Masters in Social Work. A life long lover of learning, she completed a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and is studying for her NLP Practitioner Certificate.
