Today, I brought back my best friend, Taryn, to talk about the creative self and how important it is to have an outlet in your life. Creativity has always been a big part of our relationship. We met in Los Angeles years ago while pursuing singing and songwriting. To this day we both prioritize our creativity even when it’s been hard to. I felt especially impressed to talk about the importance of stories and claiming our experience by living in them (as inspired by Stephanie Sellers) and I'm more committed now than ever to living a creative life.

Today, I want to talk about ambition. Right now, I’m in the middle of my own reckoning with it. If you’re feeling the same way, then this episode is for you. We’re beginning to dismantle what ambition means and how it shows up. It’s not us that’s the problem but the environment. I don’t want to feel like I have to contort, trim, or lessen who I am to fit an idea the world presents to me. So I’m opting out. Demolishing ideas and beliefs to rebuild one brick at a time. My question becomes….does ambition have a place in my life if it’s not the hustle and grind way? Let’s talk about this.

Do you feel like the act of creating requires a ton of time? Or that, in order to really be creative, you have to make it your job? Maybe you’re constantly seeking validation for your work. Or you feel like you can’t create until some big idea comes to you. The common issue? Resistance. So, for this week, I’m tearing down each of these myths and giving you different ways to let go of that resistance and just get creating!

If you’re struggling to commit to good habits, did you know that there are scientific reasons that may be holding you back? In this episode, I break down the process of why and how your brain develops habits so that you know where your efforts are better spent in order to create better and longer-lasting habits.

One of my favorite conversations to have with ambitious yet overwhelmed women is about the difference between time management and time ownership. Most people don’t realize that not knowing the difference is one of the biggest reasons they’re drowning in their life and work. It’s a simple yet powerful mindset shift that once made will change how you spend your time.
