December Voicings with Katja Maria Slotte Katja Maria Slotte

What do you do if you notice you're starting to lose the joy, or you feel like you're on auto-pilot? In this episode, we'll talk about how you can bring back that loving feeling and rekindle the flame with your craft and creativity. 

So often we get stuck in fear-based thinking about our voice, creativity, practice and work. Today, we're going to create what I call a "Trust-List". 

Unlimited possibilities to choose from might sound really awesome at first, but when it comes to creative work or practice, you'll soon find out that having unlimited possibilities to choose from is actually not such a great thing at all. In this podcast episode, we'll talk about how creating a container or framework with a very specific set of rules, is going to help your creativity to flow, and even help you to finish things.

As a busy creative, you'll need to learn how to switch gears quickly. One moment you're drinking your morning coffee, teaching, reading an interesting article...or sitting on the sofa - the other moment you want to switch quickly to be doing your creative work. If you're unable to switch gears quickly, you'll get caught up in the stream of choices we make each day, or end up procrastinating, thinking "you need to get ready" first. In this episode, I'll share one of my favorite ways to train the brain to switch gears quickly, and share what I've learned about how to create the circumstances for this practice to be most successful. 

In this episode, we'll honour the past and connect to our creative roots, sources of inspiration, teachers and mentors...those who paved the way for us.
