Find perspective and power in whatever creativity looks like for you.
Have you been surprised by discovering something new about yourself recently? So many of us are surprised by where our creativity can take us. Don’t stop here if you think you’re not creative, because you are. You may just need to give yourself permission to create. Whatever that looks like for you, you can explore it with grace, curiosity, and simply just for you.
About getting creative
Ashmae Hoiland shares that, despite writing several works, she only recently became comfortable calling herself a writer. If you have also struggled to claim your creativity you will feel inspired by her journey towards doing that. She is also an illustrator and a mother, as well as navigating a significant health challenge, which she opens up about in this episode.
Perhaps you have given up on being creative, but here is the assurance that creative periods do ebb and flow. It’s like any relationship, really! Ashmae encourages you to create for no one except yourself, and see how that feels. Your life is constantly contributing to your ability to create – sometimes you need to take the time to process and acknowledge that, and sometimes you can jump right in and run with it. Either way, tune in for the permission to create you maybe didn’t even know you needed.
