60: mosaic mindset
Perfectionists, gather! In today's Soul Session (#60!!! 🥳) I share a mindset shift that can change the game for creating and unblocking your creative flow: the Mosaic Mindset.
Instead of placing all the pressure on your individual creations, the Mosaic Mindset invites you to zoom out and see your work as part of a larger, beautiful whole, allowing you to build up a beautiful archive of work, and share your art more freely.
This Soul Session is particularly relevant for artists and creators who intend to share their work online, in order to leave a loving footprint in the hearts and souls who long to find your work in the digital realm, but need more opportunities to find you.
We delve into the co-creative process of life, the importance of recommitment, and the fear of being seen.
Learn how to view your artistic journey holistically, and download the Soulful Visibility Guide for further support.

59: you're not behind, you're divine. ✨
It's December and many of us can feel BEHIND at this time of year. (At any time of year, actually! May this message find you at the most aligned time 🦋) We can feel like we haven't done enough and channel this feeling of unworthiness into all the things we hope to get done next year... but you deserve so much more radiant, radical love than that. If you feel behind in any way, consider this a love letter from me to you, bringing us home to love and y(our) inherent sacredness and divinity. Soul sibling, I'm sending you love & hugs today! 🦋
