Hello, my dear Creative Cuties. It's Lauren here. I hope you're having a great holiday that you're resting. I am taking this week off, but I didn't wanna leave you hanging out there with no new unleash. So I'm resurfacing an episode from March, 2021, all about why I don't believe in the word aspiring, why there's nothing more valuable in the world than a good idea, plus tips on redefining failure and why it shouldn't be connected to financial success. We will be back with a new episode next week, but in the meantime, check out more info on this week's below! Enjoy - I really loved re-listening to this one! Today is a creative check in episode where I talk about: My distaste for the word "aspiring": why I don't believe in it/why YOU should strike it from your vocabulary!  Why there's nothing more valuable than a good idea (and why popsicles prove my point!) Plus, tips on redefining failure and why it shouldn't be connected to financial success!  And honestly, so much more!!  Follow the show ⁠@unleashYourInnerCreative⁠ Follow me ⁠@LaurenLoGrasso⁠ Remember to leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts & tell a friend about the show!

On The Guest:  Today’s coaching session features Jessa Reed. She is the owner of her own cleaning business which won “The Best of the Mountains Award” in 2020 taking first place for Best Cleaning Service. She also was the first in her immediate family to graduate college with a B.A. in psychology. Jessa has gone through a lot from being a child of divorce and abandonment by a parent to ending an 8-year relationship, to finding love again and then loss again and having to rebuild from square one. Jessa came to me with more questions about life rather than strictly about creativity. The truth is that sometimes we need to answer very basic questions about self-love and self-trust in order to get to a place where we can fully unleash and this conversation and coaching session reflects just that. From this conversation you’ll learn: How to balance your personal life and also being a creative How to drop the charges on yourself & be kinder to yourself The steps to reframing your thoughts  How to get excited about your life and creativity  How to look at your life through loving eyes Why we’re every age we’ve ever been  How to start healing the inner child How to stop self-sabotaging  The TRUTH about consistency and how to create more of the good kind -Remember to subscribe/follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
