From Lawyer to Artist -Rediscovering Creativity- Charlie India

Charlie India is a lawyer turned artist based in London. She documents her life as a creative building her art practice online. Charlie now works part time whist following her vunerable creative path openly to give others permmsion to a more forfilled and aligned lifestyle.

Charlie started posting about her creative journey - opening up about feeling like an imposter after so many years of denying her creativity. She quickly realised that she was not alone. Creatives from all over the world were messaging her saying 'oh thank goodness, I feel that way too'. And in that connection sparked an idea - what if there was a community where we could inspire people to prioritise their creativity, talk openly about the ups and downs of their creative journeys and support each other in the process?

And so began The Creatives' Coffee Club! 

Charlie’s Takeaways

1.Your creative journey sounds abstract but it’s an inner feeling not logical thought process.

2.You may have suppressed your inner artist unknowingly, there might not anyone in your circles and always felt an outsider.

3.Find your inner artist.

4.None of us are masters.

5.You can design a varied life if you’re multi passionate, be true to yourself.

6. Allow the space to be messy and a learner.

7. The two brains fight at exactly that moment when we need it most, the lizard brain wants to keep us safe, it’s not evolved yet – hence the panic attacks in a shop when we really know we are safe. It gets us when we are least expecting it.

8. We could draw before we could write, we danced before we could sing.

9. The fear of feeling judged and the fear of people in your past and life seeing you on your new more aligned path doesn’t go away, you just get used to it.

10. If you have a day job – own it, it doesn’t make you less of an artists.
