Your Vibrant Creative Life

Something a bit as I've been down and out for the past few months with an unexpected break… because life happens. This episode is meant as a gentle tap on the shoulder to embrace that spark of life and honor our breath as sacred. It was a little wake up for me to remember what I hold as precious and to come back to the center place of presence, again and again. I will share about more of the creative projects I have been up to over the past bit in the following episodes. So glad to be back with you, Beauties!

This month's art muse for the class in my Creative Life Circle art membership beckoned me to create a harvest goddess… a feminine archetype of bounty… and I have an intention worksheet as part of this lesson to delve into what we are wanting to bring in abundance wise on an inner or outer level and then we weave that intention right into our art. It's perfect for this month of gratitude. You can check out my art circle at CreativeLifeCircle.com and join for free for a 7 day trial.  Learn how we can transmute the hardships and make your creations even more amazing than originally imagined. Here's to nurturing and supporting your inner artist in ways that are nurturing, nourishing, bountiful and supportive on the journey.   

This is a podcast to uplift and uplevel our creative lives, one vibrant step at a time. We'll chat about clever business ideas, the beautiful-messy creative process, and more. Join me to discover practical spirituality, entrepreneurial tips and tools, and overall lighthearted musings for life to awaken your creativity and let your soul shine.  With Lucinda's professional and personal background, she will also be weaving in best practices in branding, running a successful business, tips for your website and photography, social media/marketing, visibility, and of course making and breathing and living ART and expressing your creativity. *************** The three things I learned in my ten seconds with Natalie Portman It's time to great and allow yourself to be seen in that. Let your dignity come through. Want to go big? Time to stop thinking small. Aren't feeling it? Fake it till you make it. Follow your goals. Manifest your personal iconic brand. Uplevel your life, your business, your dream, your trajectory. It's time to claim your glamor. Pull it down from the ether and into your field. Breathe it in from the crown of your head to the tips of your toes. Glamor and gold aren't just for the Hollywood celebs. It's for you, too. Women: allow all that God-given beauty to enchant the world, too. You don't think the rose was meant to be mundane and gray, do you? That doesn't attract the honeybee. The rose just IS. Claim your queendom. Be comfortable in your sovereignty, creating boundaries, owning your power, being a beacon of light.  Embody your glamorous being with imagery and essence that could be as luscious as any celebrity may have it. And add your big splash of soul and prismatic shine. 3. It's time to SHINE. SHINE. SHINE. It's okay if they can't handle your light; hand 'em a pair of shades if you want. Let it go. Your natural radiance isn't here to slow you down or give you a shadow to hide in. Come out from the visibility closet and let's light up the world together. Or if you're an entrepreneur, at least we can start with the online world. *************** SHARE n' TELL moment: I feel lucky to be a designer and get to work on my own entrepreneurial branding without dealing with other designers.

We began with Lucinda's process of working with the archetypes, to see which qualities and ideas I want my site to convey. This archetype process is simply a genius idea. It was almost like a coaching process in which my innermost values and vision were brought to light more clearly than I could ever have stated them myself. Following that… she created absolutely stunning graphics which she used to create a professional, inspiring, and truly magical combination of text and images.” — Jocelyn Mercado, Founder of Sacred Planet

It can sometimes be a juxtaposing dance to show up and be seen consistently in social media and your personal brand as a business owner. Many of us inwardly feel modest or not feel like sharing if we are naturally the introspective type. As a personal brand entrepreneur, an artist, mentor, author, or some sort of inspirational leader, we have to consistently show up and share the wisdom we've learned and shine the light.  But what is that magic ingredient that keeps sourcing this? Let's chat about it in this podcast. ...Join me for the 5-day HERE I AM visibility challenge…and step into authentic visibility online to support the life you LOVE.

This is part 2 of a 3 part series on VISIBILITY. This topic is a deep-dive for artists, creative entrepreneurs, business owners and really anyone who is ready to bring more courage to step forward in the world to be seen and heard in their unique expression.   It can take a lot of courage to be seen in all our glory when we build or uplevel a website or personal brand. When we share our art with the world.   Each of us often has one or more “boulders” that can get in the way of putting ourselves out there more, or being more visible.   I've compiled what I have found in my 20 years of personal branding and graphic design work with other clients what are the 3 Main Visibility Obstacles and their Antidotes to move through them for increased life flow, client attraction, and prosperity.   And then some.
