You might have heard me say that the best advice for creativity is often the best advice for life. That's because I see life as a creative act -- and I know that as a creative soul, you're someone who feels and experiences the world deeply, and has a voice that is eager to get out into the world. We're all naturally creative, and it's an act of self care to let ourselves explore life fully in this way.

But, our upbringing, fears, doubts, hangups, and even the world as a whole can often get in the way of us being who we really want to be. Cultivating the courage and bravery to act on our dreams is a core pillar of what we're here to do together, and in my writing, you'll find helpful tools and inspiration to get out of your own way.

In my *coughdecadescough* of work in the online and creative industries, it's become really apparent how much we all want a quick, one-shot solution to create a happy, productive life. We want the morning routine, the bullet journal, the life-changing course... you name it.

I'm happy to report you will find none of that in my work! Why? Because as much as we're sold the idea that all of these quick fix tools will change things, the reality is YOU are the tool. (Yeah, that came out wrong.😉)

Everything in nature exists in an ecosystem, and the ecosystem of your life and creativity includes so many different facets. Around here, holistic thinking is our m.o, because it's the only way to sustainably create what's calling you.

You knew it was coming! When it comes to living a beautiful, multipassionate life that feels good to us, we have to work with --- *drumroll please* -- our meatsuit. That's my not so classy term for our unique brains, bodies, nervous systems, sensibilities, challenges, and strengths that come with our day to day life as human beings. Sometimes it's beautiful. Sometimes it's annoying as hell. But it's always interesting.

There is so much research out there devoted to helping curious, thoughtful people live their best lives, and you can trust that anything we explore together will be grounded in the most up-to-date, evidence-backed science out there to help you on your way. 

As a card-carrying nerd and scientist, you know I'm all about finding grounded, practical ways of building the life we actually want -- but we can't omit the deeper, much more nuanced facets of creative living!

Whether you're inspired to take up a new hobby, express yourself in a project, or just enjoy your life more, I always want the core of our work to reflect the reality that inspiration is a nebulous, beautiful, and even spiritual thing.

We can try to turn ourselves into robots who try to input the right data to give us the results we want, but we'll all be much happier and productive if we allow ourselves to be human, and that means letting synchronicity, the unknown, and imagination to take the lead.
