Today’s episode is an interview with one of the best people I’ve ever met, Kim Demmon, of Today's Creative Life website.

 I mentioned Kim briefly in episode 44, when I was discussing online influencers and after I finished that recording, I texted right away and asked if she’d be willing to be on the show.

 we chatted so long that this interview is in 2 parts.

Kim and I get right down to being personal and transparent about WHY and HOW the internet can suck out and chip away at creativity and how to put your blinders on so you DO YOU —

 Because we all are creative beings — it doesn’t matter what your creative side looks like — crafting, writing, gardening, scrapbooking, homesteading, decorating

but if you spend too much time looking at what other people are doing you can think you aren’t all that creative.

 and that’s not fun.

 This is it, this is life. Do the things you’ve wanted to do — start small, start slow, and start creating.

Kim is the owner/operator of two online sites:

We also go off topic a bit (a lot) and talk about hormones, MLMs, online influencers, making money on blogs, aging, and how we both sleep with CPAP machines.

Overview

I love helping listeners embark upon their own journey to Slow Down, and live the life they’ve always dreamt about: one filled with peace, purpose, and abundance.

I understand how you’re feeling when you are rushing around trying to do “all the things,” always playing catch up and finding time to get things done.

I know because I’m a mom too.

It’s okay to stop and breathe. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule, instead I offer realistic tips and plans to get things done quickly and efficiently so you can do things you want to do.

Stephanie's Story

I know what it feels like to want to live a calm, peaceful, and harmonious life but you feel like you can’t because there is simply too much to do. I believe that if we are lucky, life is long. You are not behind, and you don’t need to rush around, trying to catch up. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule.

Instead, I want to you to stop. Breathe. It’s all going to be okay.

I want you to live out the life you’ve always dreamt about — the one that gets you excited to get up in the morning and puts a goofy grin on your face.

Because the laundry, chores, soccer practice, meal planning, and litter box scooping? That’s not WHO you are; that’s not your identity. Those are the things you HAVE TO do.

So let’s make a realistic plan to get them over & done with, quickly & efficiently so you can finally be the person you’ve always wanted to be, and do the things you actually WANT TO do.

I am here to support you.
