Podcasts about creative project

Hello Creative Cutie! Today, in honor of our THREE Webby Wins, I am back with our third and last episode in a trip down unleash memory lane. This one is very special to me, because it's a coaching session.  I really came into myself as a coach during this episode and discovered how much I can trust myself and how my intuition is a big part of how I coach people. It's also a VERY important episode for anyone out there considering sharing a hidden dream, pursuing a new career or figuring out how to balance being a multi-passionate creative! Check it out and if you're interested in a FREE Coaching session with me on-air, reach out via my website or email below! Original Description: Today I'm taking you inside a coaching session with Caroline Stokes. Caroline is a comedian, dancer, visual artist, musician, and self-expression expert who has who has been lighting up the internet with her hilarious content for years now…Building an organic audience of 111k followers on TikTok and almost 20 thousand people on Instagram. This is actually Caroline's third time being on Unleash! I was quite honored that she, someone who I see as a fully unleashed person, wanted to be coached. It's a reminder that everyone needs someone to see, guide and believe in them--that often times, that's how they got there in the first place, and that's how they continue to grow. This coaching session helped Caroline figure out a part of her creativity she didn't even know she desired so deeply. It also was illuminating for me, as I discovered a whole new way to guide fellow multi-passionates (and honestly, myself) on how to allocate our time and creative energy. It was honestly pretty revolutionary.From today's episode, you'll learn: How to honor your authentic self -even if it's uncomfortableHow to discover the creative life you've been afraid to let yourself wantThe power of being an introvert The importance of saying what you want out LoudHow to introduce new endeavors to your audienceHow to run a relay race with yourself 

If you've ever struggled with starting, finishing, and following through with a creative project, this episode will give you 5 lessons to keep you moving through the creative process ~ start to finish ~ so you can bring your creative ideas to life as a singer, songwriter, artist, and musician.   Whether you're having a hard time starting or having a hard time finishing that creative project that's on your heart ~ I've been there, too, and you're not alone.     As artists, we face resistance at every turn.  We have more ideas than we know what to do with, and sometimes, it just feels so big that we don't know where to begin.  Or there are too many possibilities, we don't feel ready, we keep refining and perfecting our idea into oblivion… and we don't know how to put a bow on it and call it “complete.”   So today, in celebration of ONE WHOLE YEAR of this Podcast (yay!), I'll be sharing with you 5 lessons I learned from following through each and every week to release a new episode into the world.    These are lessons that I'll be applying to album creation ~ recording an album of original songs ~ and lessons that you, too, can apply to that creative project that's on your heart.  

This week we continue to take a tour down memory lane with one of the best and most-listened to Unleash episodes of all time! It is with Sadie Blasucci--she shares her journey of making an extremely creative decision: leaving the religion that your parents and community have told you is the "right" one. For her, that was Mormonism. We need to use our creativity in ALL aspects of life, not just work. Questioning the script that has been given to you about life, God, love--that's part of it. Tune in for a fascinating conversation and for tips on finding yourself and spirituality when you leave the religious and/or cultural framework you were raised in. Original Description: On The Guest: Sadie Blasucci is a former Mormon and Faith Transition Coach that helps people acclimate after leaving the church. She's also the co-host of Missionary Podcast and co-author of a Faith Crisis Guided Journal titled My Authentic Faith. Her focus is to teach people to find faith, trust, and happiness within themselves.From this conversation you'll learn:The origin of Mormonism & other interesting Mormon facts The process of unlearning childhood traumasHow to find happiness outside of your spiritual community and take responsibility for itHow habit swapping can help in transitional phasesThe purpose of secrecy in MormonismThe difference between organized religion and finding your own spiritualityHow to process Spiritual grievingThe idea of worthiness in MormonismTools for faith transitioningAnd so much more!Faith Transition Coaching Services https://sadielane.podia.com/Faith Crisis Guided Journal My Authentic Faith
