What if the key to unlocking your creative potential lies not in the typical advice given to artists but in embracing the natural rhythms of rest and reflection?
Join me as we challenge the toxic myth that artists must suffer to create great art. Valerie shares her personal journey chasing an external view of success to finding alignment and a healing approach to art. When we embrace the natural rhythms of our creativity, it will open our heart and mind to a more fulfilling creative practice.
Together, we explore the cyclical nature of creativity, much like the cycles found in the natural world. By shifting our perspective from "discipline" to "devotion," we learn to honor our personal rhythms and find a state of flow that feels both authentic and sustainable.
Discover how recognizing and embracing these natural cycles can lead to more joy and fulfillment in your creative endeavors. Whether you're planting seeds or harvesting the fruits of your labor, this episode will inspire you to nurture your creative spirit and find joy in the journey.
Celebrate with us as we mark the first anniversary of our Magic Makers Membership, a nurturing community where creativity flourishes without the burden of pressure or expectation.
Join Magic Maker's Today for just $20 during the month of October!
