Creating for Good Causes

During our creative process we create so many ideas that inevitably some of those ideas get culled or left behind. Some ideas need to discarded to make room for great ideas but, on occasion, sometimes great ideas also get lost along the way for one reason or another. Today's episode is all about why some really great ideas sometimes get lost in the flow, how we can actually be getting in our own way while creating, and why that doesn't have to be the end of the road for your next big idea.   Theme music created by Banmier for this podcast.

The world is a heavy place at the moment and as creatives it is necessary that we find ways to contribute to causes that are important to us in any way we can. Today I'm talking about how to lend your creativity and skills to causes that make an impact and deserve more attention.

On the days where our creative energy is high, creating seems to feel like the most natural thing in the world. There are a multitude of ways to use those high energy days to be our most prolific and productive selves and to really boost our creative process.

Building consistency within your creative practice, and regularly making time for the creative pursuits that you have, is the key to honing your skills, creating ideas that you are truly proud of, and fully leaning into your creative process.

Whether you've been pursuing creativity as purely a passion or as something more substantial... sometimes that joy or excitement in showing up everyday and having to be creative on demand can start to fade. If you've been in that position, or maybe you are currently there, let's chat all about finding that joy again and getting back to loving the creative process.

To kick things off I'm sharing my 4 part creative process that allows me to fully explore new ideas, express emotions or ideas in new mediums, and tackle problems through "creative thinking". Whether you consider yourself a creative or you are someone who wants to be more comfortable creating and expressing, I hope this podcast episode will serve as the perfect jumping off point to start or inspire you on your creative journey.
