The Workwomb Podcast Ep. 34 đź’Ą Creative Unrest & Our Zone of Aliveness: How to Find (and Follow) What Makes You Come Alive
As artists and creative entrepreneurs, we’ve all heard people talk about finding your zone of genius. And while I love the intention behind it, lately it’s started to feel a little limiting — like maybe what we actually need isn’t more “genius”… but more aliveness.
What if instead of asking, “What am I the best at?” we asked, “What makes me feel most alive?”
This is your Zone of Aliveness — the place where your work feels like an extension of your energy, your curiosity, and your joy. It’s not about optimizing or mastering or narrowing in, but instead about expanding. It’s about finding the places in your work and creativity that light you up from the inside out.
Shoutout to @tonyapapanikolove for interviewing me on her podcast about this theme and inspiring me to create a full solo episode on it!
In this episode, I share what that shift has looked like for me — and how it’s changed the way I create, the way I work with clients, and honestly, the way I see success.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a version of your business that’s working on paper but not working for your soul… this one’s for you.
We dive into:
- What it really means to create from a place of aliveness — and why it matters more than “genius”
- How to use your Zone of Aliveness as a compass for creativity, decision-making, and sustainability
- The 80/20 Rule for entrepreneurs: identifying the 20% of work that drives 80% of your results
- A reflective exercise to uncover your 5–7 biggest wins and trace the “seeds” that made them possible
- How curiosity, courage, and cheekiness can open doors you don’t even know exist yet
