We dive deep into: What a creative mindset really is (hint: it's about perspective, not talent) Why most adults lose their creativity—and how to get it back The 5-step framework that helps you turn ideas into action How childhood joy holds clues to your purpose today The confidence-creation connection—and how small steps fuel big change Whether you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or disconnected from your spark, this episode is your reminder: creativity isn't lost, it's waiting to be reawakened.   You'll learn: What a Creative Mindset Really Is Discover why creativity isn't just artistic talent—it's a way of seeing possibilities, solving problems, and leading with vision in any role. How to Reignite Your Inner Spark Uncover why most adults lose their creative genius—and how reconnecting with your childhood passions can unlock purpose and joy.

And confidence is how you unlock it."  "You don't have to be an artist to be creative. You just have to be curious."  "Joy is productive. If it lights you up, it leads you somewhere important."  "Most big ideas start small. The magic is in taking the first step." "Your inner child doesn't want you to be perfect, just present."  "Rest isn't a break from creativity. It's a vital part of it."  "Creative confidence is built, not born. One brave idea at a time."   Resources & Mentions: Nonprofit Initiative: Book Days – A global children's literacy movement founded by Kassi, dedicated to inspiring creativity and reading joy in kids around the world. Creativity Framework: The 5-Step Creativity Cycle – Kassi's practical model to spark and sustain creativity: Imagine → Pursue → Overcome → Rest → Reflect  Key Concept: Creative Confidence – The belief that your ideas matter, and that small steps can lead to bold innovation—no matter your profession. Professional Titles: Speaker | Trainer | Author | Founder of Book Days   Actionable Steps for Listeners: 1. Reconnect with Your Inner Child Think back to what made you feel most alive as a child—drawing, building, storytelling, dancing? Write down 2–3 activities that brought you joy, and explore how they can show up in your adult life today. 2. Identify Where You're Playing Small Ask yourself: “Where am I holding back creative ideas because I'm afraid they're not good enough?” Choose one area and take a small, low-stakes action (e.g., pitch that idea, start that project, share your perspective). 3. Use the 5-Step Creativity Cycle Apply Kassi's framework in your work or personal life this week: Imagine → Pursue → Overcome → Rest → Reflect Start with just one idea. Don't aim for perfect—aim for progress. 4. Practice Creative Confidence Daily Each day, do one thing that affirms your creativity: Say a creative affirmation (“My ideas are valid”) Set a 10-minute timer and journal freely Try something new, even if you're not “good” at it 5. Rest Without Guilt Schedule intentional breaks where you disconnect from productivity. Creativity flourishes when you allow space. Let rest be part of your process, not a reward after burnout. 6. Start Small, Dream Big Kassi began Book Days with 50 kids—it now impacts 20,000+. Write down one small, meaningful action you can take this week toward a bigger dream or passion project.   Final Thought: You were born creative and that spark never left you. It's not about being artistic; it's about seeing the world with curiosity, courage, and heart. Creativity begins when you give yourself permission to imagine more and trust your ideas. Whether you're leading a team, launching a project, or just trying to feel like yourself again, your creativity is your power. Start small. Honor your joy. And remember: confidence doesn't come first, it's built through every step you take. The world doesn't need a perfect version of you—it needs your true one. So go create something only you can.   What listeners have to say: Kassi Kincaid's episode is sparking creative breakthroughs for professionals, educators, and leaders who thought they had “lost” their spark. Alyssa R., an elementary school teacher, said reconnecting with her childhood love of storytelling reminded her why she started teaching in the first place, and inspired her to launch a classroom reading project. David L., a product manager, shared that Kassi's 5-step creativity framework gave him the courage to finally pitch an idea he'd been sitting on for months—and it led to a new innovation initiative at work. Renee M., a nonprofit director, reflected on how Kassi's insight about “rest being part of the creative process” helped her step back from burnout and return to work with clarity and purpose. These stories remind us: creativity isn't a talent—it's a tool. And it's available to all of us, at any time.   Now it's your turn: What moment, quote, or idea from Kassi's story helped you see yourself, or your work differently? We'd love to hear from you. Share your reflection and inspire someone else to reconnect with their creative courage.   Loved this episode? If you found value in this conversation, don't forget to leave a review!

Our guest in this episode is Debra Eckerling, a joyful goal strategist, award-winning author, and mastermind behind the DEB Method for simplified goal setting. Deb's mission is to make goal pursuit contagious and fun, inspiring everyone to move toward what truly lights them up by connecting their goals to genuine passion. In her lively chat with host Jürgen Strauss, Deb shares her contagious enthusiasm for creating an authentic roadmap to success—one that begins with self-awareness, celebrates every win, and leans into the magic of community.Key points discussed include:* Building Goals on Authentic Passion: Deb emphasizes that meaningful goals must stem from self-discovery, not “shoulds”—what excites you is what sustains you!* Celebrating Wins to Fuel Motivation: She encourages daily recognition of even small achievements, using a “win list” to keep momentum sparkly and strong.* Harnessing Community & Boundaries: Deb champions networking as a source of mutual delight and support, while also gracefully setting boundaries to stay mission-aligned.This episode is a delightful boost for anyone craving more joy, clarity, and connection on their goal-getting journey!Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes From This Episode with Debra Eckerling, The DEB MethodIgniting Joyful Goal Setting: The Deb Eckerling ApproachToday, I'm delighted to dive into a radiant conversation with Debra Eckerling, goal strategist, workshop leader, and author on a mission to make goal setting as joyful and contagious as laughter. From the get-go, Deb's energy simply bubbles over, transforming what many might consider a dry subject into a dynamic, celebratory experience. It's this passion that underpins her signature DEB Method—a method rooted in simplicity, authenticity, and genuine joy.Deb believes that setting and getting goals shouldn't feel like another chore on the to-do list. Instead, it ought to invigorate us, spark creativity, and become a party everyone wants to attend. By infusing goal setting with enthusiasm and a sense of celebration, Deb empowers others to find delight and meaning in each step toward their dreams.The Foundation of Authentic Goals: Knowing What You WantOne of Deb's core beliefs is that successful goal setting starts with true self-awareness. She observes that all too often, people pursue goals that aren't genuinely theirs—falling into the “shoulds” handed down by others or dictated by circumstance. As she wisely puts it: “You can't get what you want unless you know what that is.” This insight, though deceptively simple, lies at the heart of her philosophy.Deb shares how, both in her own journey and in her coaching and workshops, she's seen people transform simply by reconnecting with what brings them joy. She encourages us to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves not what others expect us to do, but what genuinely lights us up from within. This intentional approach lays the groundwork for goals that are rooted in authenticity—goals that inspire commitment and create lasting fulfillment.Transforming Obligations into OpportunitiesWhat about those times when you're stuck in a job or obligation that isn't your passion? Deb offers a gentle, practical perspective. Not everyone can immediately leap away from the day-to-day things that don't light them up, and she's quick to acknowledge the realities—bills, families, and the necessities of life. But even within these constraints, there's space for joy.Deb proposes finding “a hit of joy” on the side, whether that's a creative project, a side hustle, or simply an activity that brings happiness. By letting these joyful pursuits fuel your spirit, you bring lightness into all areas of your life. Sometimes, these passion projects might even become a pathway to something bigger, but at the very least, they help make the less exciting responsibilities a bit more palatable.Building Your North Star: The DEB Method UnpackedAt the center of Deb's approach is her namesake DEB Method—Determine your mission, Explore your options, Brainstorm your path. The process begins with self-exploration, inviting you to visualize the life you want and craft both current and future bios, shaping your direction with clarity and intention. As Deb illustrates, this isn't just about dreamy thinking—it's about building a foundation, a “North Star,” that keeps your actions anchored and purposeful.The next steps encourage curiosity and creativity: exploring your options and then brainstorming the actionable steps to get there. By breaking down even big, ambitious goals into tangible, joyful pieces, Deb removes the intimidation and opens the door to real progress. It's a framework that honors both vision and practicality, always guided by what lights you up.Boundaries and Saying Yes to YourselfOf course, following your true path also means learning to say “no”—sometimes a gentle “not now”—to opportunities that don't align with your goals or mission. Deb's approach to boundaries is compassionate and generous: every “no” to something that isn't a fit is a “yes” to yourself and an invitation for someone else to shine in that space.She offers practical scripts and encouragement to help you navigate these choices without guilt or fear of missing out. By trusting your North Star, you make space for the opportunities that truly resonate, while giving others the gift of stepping into their own “yes.” It's about honoring yourself and your journey—without closing doors or burning bridges.Celebrating Wins and Fueling MotivationDeb is a champion of celebration, weaving it into every step of the goal-getting journey. She reminds us that too often, we get caught up in the slog of progress, forgetting to honor the moments of achievement along the way. Whether it's a tiny step forward or a major milestone, celebrating wins infuses you with the motivation to keep going.Her suggestion to keep a daily “win list” is deceptively powerful. Writing down one to three things you accomplished each day—even if it's just “I made it through”—builds an archive of positivity and progress. When doubt or fatigue creeps in, that list becomes a wellspring of encouragement, a reminder that you are, indeed, moving forward.From Passion to Action: Embracing Community and Moving ForwardFinally, no one achieves their dreams in isolation. Deb celebrates the magic of community—whether it's through goal groups, masterminds, or informal support networks. Sharing your wins, articulating your needs, and enthusiastically supporting others build an environment where success is magnetic and contagious.In Deb's world, action is iterative, fueled by passion and uplifted by others. She urges us to gift ourselves the time to discover what makes us unique, turn that spark into practical steps, and seek out the company of those who will cheer us on. After all, we are all part of a bigger ecosystem of possibility—and when we help one another rise, everyone wins.Conclusion: Your Invitation to Celebrate and ActDebra Eckerling's approach to goal setting is a vibrant invitation: bring more joy, authenticity, and connection into your journey. Start your own win list today. Write down those small victories. Reflect on what truly lights you up. And remember, whether you're taking your very first step or well on your way, celebrating your wins and building supportive connections will propel you forward. Let's make goal setting a party we all want to attend—one filled with laughter, passion, and purpose. Your goals are yours to discover and achieve. Keep moving, keep celebrating, and let your light shine!The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Deb's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* No. 1 thing to be more innovative – Listen to your inner voice because you already know the answers—you just need to ask yourself the right questions.* Best thing for new ideas – Engage in activities like cooking or having conversations, as they allow your mind to wander and help generate creative ideas.* Favourite resource – Tap into your community and network, asking questions and allowing others the opportunity to help you as a shared gift.* Keep project/client on track – Set realistic deadlines while respecting your own calendar, making appointments with yourself and treating them as commitments just like those with others.* Differentiate – Reflect through journaling or ask others what makes you unique, then fully own and enthusiastically lean into that quality.ActionDeb encourages you to start a daily win list. Each day, take a minute to write down one, two, or three things you accomplished or that went well—then refer back to your list whenever you need motivation or a reminder of your progress.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Deb by connecting with her on social media at @thedebmethod everywhere, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

I'm beyond excited to share this week's Flourish or Fold episode with you! I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Adley Kinsman, CEO and founder of Viralish and prominent entertainer who garners over a billion social media views every month. The conversation delved deep into Adley's journey as an entrepreneur, her experiences in the entertainment industry, and the resilience that has driven her success. She emphasizes the importance of viewing obstacles as testimonies rather than setbacks and highlights the significance of serving others. Adley also delves into the concept of going viral, explaining her systematic approach to creating viral content. The conversation underscores the transformative power of resilience and the impact of shifting from a victim mentality to one of empowerment and purpose. Adley's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, passion, the importance of serving others and the power of following your passion.Understanding Virality - What Does It Mean to Go Viral?: Adley emphasizes that the concept of "going viral" is subjective and varies from person to person. For some, a post with 40,000 views might be considered viral, while for others, the benchmark might be in the millions. At Viralish, Adley and her team consider anything over a million views as potentially viral, with a more stringent standard of 15 million views and above for true virality.Mastering Storytelling: At the core of Viralish's success is their mastery of storytelling. Whether it's prank videos, staged events, or branded content, the goal is to create compelling narratives that resonate with the audience and achieve the desired outcome.From Passion to Profession - Adley's Journey - The Early Days: Adley's journey began with a passion for creating videos and storytelling.

Recognizing the potential, Adley focused on creating videos for Facebook, where the largest audience was. By studying the platform's algorithm and continuously improving her content, she was able to capitalize on this opportunity and turn her passion into a profitable business.Resilience in the Face of Adversity - Overcoming Challenges: Adley shares her personal story of resilience, highlighting the massive obstacles she faced, including bankruptcy, a toxic relationship, and a close family member's struggle with alcoholism. Despite these challenges, she chose to view her experiences as a testimony rather than adopting a victim mindset.The Power of Service: One of the key lessons Adley learned was the importance of serving and helping others. She found that focusing on others was the quickest way to pull herself out of difficult situations and regain a sense of purpose and direction.The Law of Resonance: Adley believes in the law of resonance, which emphasizes becoming the person ready to handle the things one desires, rather than just willing them into existence. This mindset shift from "where do I want to be?" to "who do I want to be?" has been instrumental in her journey.Building Viralish - From Hobby to Business: Viralish was born out of Adley's passion for creating content and her deep understanding of social media algorithms. By packaging her knowledge and experiences into accessible coaching programs, she has been able to help individuals and brands achieve viral success.Coaching Programs: Adley encourages individuals to take advantage of the group coaching program available at goviralish.com. For brands with annual revenue of 5 to 10 million, she invites them to reach out to creators at com for potential collaboration.Transforming Adversity into Empowerment - Shifting Perspectives: Dr. Taryn Marie highlights the importance of shifting from a victim mentality to recognizing the lessons learned from adversity. This shift in perspective from "why is this happening to me?" to "why is this happening for me?" can have a transformative impact on one's life.Adley's energy and insights are truly uplifting. She embodies the shift from asking "why is this happening to me?" to "why is this happening for me?" It's a powerful perspective that can transform adversity into empowerment.
