This week, we’re thinking about what happens when you stop chasing opportunities and start attracting them by fully embracing who you are.
In this episode of Thinking About, I’m catching up with Rachel Kelly, a Toronto-based floral artist, designer, and community builder who made the leap from running a coworking space to creating stunning floral installations and large-scale art pieces. Rachel’s journey has been anything but linear, but what’s made her business thrive is her deep understanding of magnetism, energy, and trusting her intuition.
We dive into what it means to flow instead of force when it comes to creative work, why saying yes before you have it all figured out can lead to the best opportunities, and how she balances real-life creativity with the pressures of showing up online.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
- How Rachel built a creative business that attracts aligned opportunities rather than chasing them.
- The shift from pushing in business to embracing flow and trusting what’s meant for you.
- Her evolving relationship with social media, online presence, and creative energy.
- Why prioritizing real-life experiences over digital content has been a game-changer.
- The lessons she’s learned about boundaries, burnout, and making space for joy.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re forcing things instead of allowing them to unfold, or if you’re looking for inspiration to follow your unique path, this episode will leave you feeling empowered to go for it.
