In this episode of Success Beyond Strategy, I’m sharing my personal journey of reconnecting with creativity and giving myself permission to play. With my coffee in hand on a quiet morning, I talk about how I’ve been leaning into practices that spark joy—like dancing around my house, getting lost in fiction books, and exploring what fun really looks like for me as an adult.
I dive into my experience with The Artist’s Way and the idea of “shadow artists,” those of us who hide our creative side behind productivity and busyness. For years, I tied my worth to getting things done, but now I’m slowly stripping that away and allowing myself to simply create for the love of it. Whether it’s choreography from my color guard days or the thrill of imagining new worlds through books, I’m learning how creativity shows up in everyday life.
My challenge for you is to think back to what lit you up as a kid—maybe it was dance, drawing, writing, or something totally unexpected—and start bringing it back into your life. We all have creativity within us; it’s just about making space to let it out. I can’t wait to hear what sparks come alive for you, so after you listen, come find me on Instagram or drop me a message and share how you’re tapping into your own creativity.
