🎧 Episode Summary:
Some seasons in business feel electric. Ideas are flowing, projects are exciting, and you can’t wait to dive in each day. And then there are the other seasons… the ones where the spark seems to have packed up and left. I’ve been there, and I know how unsettling it can feel, especially when you want to create but nothing is clicking.
This week, I’m opening up about the creative slump, what causes it, how to shift your mindset so it doesn’t spiral into self-doubt, and the small, practical actions that can help you find your way back without taking a full-on break from your business. You’ll hear the real-life ways I’ve reignited my own spark, plus ideas you can try the next time you’re feeling stuck.
Your creativity is not gone. It just needs a little nudge to wake back up.
What I hope you take away from today's episode...
☕ Creative slumps are normal and they don’t mean you’ve failed or lost your creativity for good.
☕ Your environment, daily routines, and focus can either fuel or drain your spark.
☕ Mindset shifts are the first step to getting your energy and inspiration back.
☕ You don’t have to take a long break to feel re-inspired. Small changes can be just as effective.
☕ Curiosity is your best friend when it comes to reigniting passion for your work.
