This week, I chatted with Richie about how I had a bit of a wobble. Maybe we'll call it mid-year panic. Suddenly, I could feel the year slipping away with goals unmet.

Tune in to find out how I turned my mid-year panic into some mid-year progress. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just need a bit of motivation to stay on track, this episode is for you!

Have you ever felt the buzz of a fresh start when the calendar flips, only to find yourself adrift in a sea of expectations and resolutions? Let's chart a course together toward a year of intentional living and creative fulfillment. In this episode, we'll sail through the importance of balancing ambition with self-care, guided by the wisdom of Julia Cameron's "The Listening Path." It's about making room for inspiration while setting sail on our creative quests. Embracing the notion that transformation is not confined to January's gate, we'll navigate toward aligning our goals with our deepest desires, taking cues from the emotional guidance scale to create a vision board that truly resonates with us.I'll reveal how anchoring our year with emotions rather than resolutions can lead to unchartered territory of personal growth. I'll recount how my own anchor of freedom in 2021 unfurled the sails toward a year of significant transformation and invite you to consider 'flow' as a guiding compass for the new year. For those of you juggling a multitude of passions, we'll hoist the idea of an "anchor system," inspired by "The Renaissance Soul," to harmonize your varied interests into a single, fulfilling career trajectory. I'll introduce you to a new product, an interactive creative productivity planner that can help you support your creative visions and bring them into fruition this year.

Have you noticed yourself getting stuck somewhere in the process of starting or completing projects, even when you have a plan? Like something is preventing you to follow the roadmap. When that happens, we start to feel lost, we procrastinate, we ruminate, we overthink, we even doubt the plan… and then, well not much happens. Let's try to untangle that knot together. Some reflections to journal about or bring along with you today: What if you can't follow the plan because the plan doesn't follow… you? What if it's not you cannot do it but it's that deep down you don't want to? What if you feel overwhelmed because the plan is actually overwhelming? Do you have a plan B? Do you have a plan for when plan A doesn't go according to plan? A loving reminder: Having a plan can give us the illusion of control. We might stay stuck in the plan because taking action on it will bring us out of our comfort zone and into the unknown. Investigate your need for control… and explore what you CAN actually control.

When it comes to the end of a year, most of us are buried under an avalanche of messages on how to set goals - and creatives are no different. However, it's not as important to set goals, as it is to set an intention on what's going to CHANGE as a result of reaching a goal. In this Creative Checkup episode, we explore a three step method to setting goals that actually change YOU, and not just your circumstances. This framework is discussed more in depth in our top-tier creative coaching membership, God and Gigs 360.   Make sure to share this episode with someone that you KNOW will benefit from this kind of inspiration and education for faith-focused creatives! On December 20th, 2021, we're presenting a FREE masterclass to our community on Defeating Your Dream-Killing Creative Challenges So You Can Crush Your 2022 Goals! You can sign up at godandgigs.com/masterclass and attend this live training that will provide you with inspiration, effective strategies, and tips that will get you unstuck and moving forward with creative confidence!

In this episode of Asked and Answered by Soul, Jennifer Urezzio and writer and creator Ellie Bozmarova explore ways to reach our creative goals, find a way past fear, ego and attachment, and learn that bringing things into reality often looks different from how we imagine them. Join us as Jennifer and Ellie share concepts and ideas about authenticity, being true to our deeper selves, and ways we can take small actions every day to create what we are called to do. When we can separate who we truly are from our work, we understand we can only control our own process and are able to release our attachment to the outcome.

Share this episode >>> Https://thisischelseajohnson.com/197 How do you want to impact the world as an artist? You are making waves, whether you acknowledge it or not. You get to decide the nature of the waves you make. Sometimes we can underestimate our impact and power as artists to effect change, and that is one of the biggest opportunities we can potentially miss on our artistic journey. This week, Director/ Teacher/ Advocate, David Connolly reminds us that change and awareness begin when we openly communicate and try to learn how others navigate through the world instead of forcing them into a mold. Conversations lead to understanding and that is where change begins. Is the fear of failure stopping you from venturing into this new chapter in your life? Is your goal more important than the feeling of being embarrassed? Being afraid that things wouldn't work out as planned is valid. David reiterates that sometimes healthy fear is a good thing, but we shouldn't let that stop us from pursuing something we are passionate about. Use your voice as an artist and bring your life experiences to create change! In this episode:  Inspiring someone means being part of the army that allows people to remember that we are more the same than we are different. Trauma is not what happened, it's how you're dealing with what happened. How having a support system impacts your success as an artist. The difference between diversity and inclusion is taking the time to break the mold and learn how others navigate the world. The importance of apprenticeship and continuously learning in improving as an artist. A little about David: David Connolly is a recipient of The Premier of Ontario's Award of Excellence in Applied Arts who holds an Honours Bachelor Degree in Musical Theatre Performance from Sheridan College. Immediately upon graduating, David made his Broadway debut and became the first and only amputee to ever perform there. Thirty years later, the double below-knee amputee remains an optimistic, highly creative idea generator of whose life Dance Magazine wrote, “demonstrates the quintessential balancing act between career and community service.” ​ In January, 2020, David curated and moderated the first-ever disability inclusion panel at BroadwayCon in New York City to help develop actionable steps to improve disabled representation in arts. He is also an Ambassador for the Shriner's Hospital for Children, and the War Amps Child Amputee Program. For twelve-years, he served as Creative Producer for Fashion Cares in support of the AIDS Committee of Toronto, and has volunteered for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, Easter Seals, Project Angel Food and The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre for Children's Mental Health. As the Associate Artistic Director of Drayton Entertainment, he has led the creation and implementation of Drayton's Youth Education Program, an Actor's Fund of Canada Benefit Cabaret Series and helmed over thirty productions including the Canadian regional theatre premieres of Kinky Boots, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Mama Mia! and Newsies. For the screen, David has directed and choreographed several series for CBC Kids as well as projects for CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS and two feature films by director, Deepa Mehta. He has collaborated with artists including Katy Perry, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John, Sarah Jessica Parker, kd lang, Patti LaBelle, Sarah Brightman and many others. As an Educator, he has been an Adjunct Professor and Advisor to the Musical Theatre Performance Programs at Sheridan College, Randolph College, Fanshawe College, St Lawrence College and VanderCook College. He is a recipient of The Waterloo Region Arts Award for Lifetime Achievement, and proud member of The Directors Guild of Canada, ACTRA, Equity and The Stage Directors and Choreographers Society.  Follow David!

Heeeeyyy, I am sooo glad your listening to this podcast! Yeah today were just talking about some of my creative goals for the future. Maybe  you could set your own goals alongside me? However I want to emphasise that these goals aren't  concrete and that it's fine to deter from them!LinksThe 4-Hour Work Week: Escape the 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join the New RichThe Art Rules: Wisdom and Guidance from Art World Experts by Paul Klein (2015-02-15) - this book is amazingEnjoy!  Thanks for listening as alwaysSocials:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/scarlettart18/Website - NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON...

Do you ever have those moments when you're like “I'M GOING TO WRITE A MOVIE” or “I'm GOING TO WRITE A BOOK” and you get so excited about it but you don't have a clue what the steps should be to make it happen? Well today I'm going to be sharing a few ways to reverse that and stick to your creative goals!These are a few reasons why I ditch my creative goals and some I've heard from others:

In the creative process, it can be easy to get tied up into hitting goals. Because sometimes without setting the goals, as we know, we don't get there, we don't have a good roadmap. But the other piece is that when I show up every day, without the attainment of the goal being the important thing, but instead, it's how do I show up in service of that goal? Or how do I show up in service of the work? Written and Produced by Matthew C. TempleEdited by Tyen MusaOriginal Theme Music by Adrian LeeABOUT MEI started my career as an accidental filmmaker. I wrote a “practice script,”  hoping one day I could write one that I could sell or produce. That script became my first film, “Senses of Place,” which went on to win awards on the film festival circuit and was distributed by FilmBuff. I then moved to Hollywood where I eventually made nine feature films, eight documentaries, and worked with actors Carrie-Anne Moss, Melora Hardin , Zac Efron, Edi Gathegi and Angela Sarafyan in this year's Caged, and many more. I've worked with producers Kevin Costner, Bill Borden – Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola and Oscar-nominated director Mike Johnson. I have even shared the screen with Josh Brolin, Neil Patrick Harris, Kane Hodder, Naveen Andrews, and many more.Last year, I released the documentary film, “Hardball: The Girls of Summer.” Currently, I live between California and East Africa, writing and developing new projects, while consulting on film and TV projects. Visit my website to see my work – or check me out on IMDb.com

Spike, Kel, and Amanda discuss setting creative goals and trying to improve our art work or writing. Do you read tutorials? Put time aside to do exercises? Sometimes you just got to do it!

Our guest today practices integrative therapy that she calls an integrative approach to wellbeing. Jamie Lerner she coaches her clients in moving beyond past constraints and into their own wisdom and empowering future. Jamie says she has an insatiable appetite for pleasure, beauty, and joy and often refers to herself as a true “pleasure junkie.” One of her pleasures is being an amateur adult equestrian rider on the AA horse show circuit. Jamie Lerner is co-authored of The Ever-Loving Essence of You, a book that acts as a gentle reminder about joyous living. On Jamie's website's ‘ABOUT', Jamie says, “I was born with a knowing; a true sense of who I came forth to become. In this conversation Jamie shares her observations about people, spirituality, and her innovative integrative therapy practices. We were inspired by Jamie's no-nonsense, yet deeply connected approach to working with her clients, including why she shifted from her psychotherapy practice into a more integrative coaching role. Tune in and learn some integrative therapy tips that you can even do for yourself!   RESOURCES:http://www.jamie-lerner.com/index.html (Jamie Leners Website) https://www.icreatedaily.com/store/ (Creative Goals & Art Journals) https://www.icreatedaily.com/gratitude-journal/ (A movement for creators serious about their art.)https://www.icreatedaily.com/free-goals-planner/ (The Day is the Way.)https://www.icreatedaily.com/store/ (iCreateDaily!)

Sergio Lopez aka The Main Loop is a North Bay Area based fine artist who specializes in oil landscapes, contemporary nude figures, plein air paintings, and charcoal drawings. He has won multiple awards and has been featured in Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, Spectrum, Bluecanvas, as well as many online publications.  He is also the co-founder of the North Bay Plein Air Painters group and has been helping organize monthly paint-outs since 2009. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/themainloop In this episode, Sergio discusses: -How he got into the plein air scene and the differences between painting outdoors and painting in the studio. -How he tries to only paint something that he is seeing with his own eyes or has seen before, as he doesn't trust photos to accurately portray the subject matter. -How his goal is to keep as little distance as possible from himself and his paintings so as to get the most accurate representation of what he sees and feels. -How and why he started the North Bay Plein Air Painters group. -His advice for anyone interested in trying out plein air painting. -Some of his earliest memories of being creative. -How he often gets bored of what he has been spending a lot of time doing, and that is usually when he switches up his medium to keep things fresh. -Some of the struggles that come from being a full-time fine artist. -How he knows that he works better at night, so he shifts his schedule to work with that. -The power of turning off the Wi-Fi. Sergio's Final Push will inspire you to figure out WHY you want to be an artist. Quotes: "All the lessons that you learn from intensely observing something, you can do that from any subject you want to work from." "Even now when I paint from photos, I almost never paint from something that I haven't painted yet before." "For me, the goal is to have something that feels like I was there or I am still standing there and getting that feeling that I remember." "If you're a person who paints in the studio and never has gone out, I'd say you're missing out on a lot." "When I got to school I quickly realized that I was in the wrong department." "It took a while to get to a certain sort of rhythm." "Find out why you want to do art.  As soon as you figure out why, it's a lot easier to focus your energy and resources on how to do it because you'll have a goal to strive for.  Without that road map, it is more of a wish than a goal."
