Dear Creative Mind | For artists and creative entrepreneurs Pascale Cote

If managing your creative business feels complicated and overwhelming right now... Dear creative mind, I hope this episode can offer a few different ways to make it feel a little easier, a little simpler.

I'm offering guidance from a few different angles to help you uncover what might be causing your business to feel complicated, what contributes to overwhelm, and some practical tools to troubleshoot and simplify things, making your creative business feel more manageable and less overwhelming.



The prompts I've shared in the episode.



About overwhelm:


Am I clear about my intention and the goal I’m looking to achieve?
Am I clear about the very next step to take?
What’s creating clutter in my mind / space?
What’s fueling the urgency story?
What’s keeping the perfectionism tendencies alive?



Practical things to look into:


What’s the level and type of energy I have access to right now, and does it make sense with what I’m trying to achieve?


What’s the 1 thing that can make the biggest difference?


What is the one thing I offer that has the most value? And can I find ways to simplify the way I deliver it?


How can I streamline my internal processes? Are there any boundaries I might need to clarify in my work contract? 


Is there anything you can standardize, at least for the season?





PS. Looking to connect + create with like-minded creatives this Summer? Join us for ⁠⁠⁠The Summer Reset,⁠⁠⁠ our 90-min seasonal community gathering⁠⁠ where we pause to reflect and learn from the season that passed, and start planning the next one gently. This one will be focused on simplicity + playfulness!

Today, I'm chatting with Corri Lynne — she's a children's book author and illustrator living in Pittsburgh with her husband and little dog, Peanut. She is passionate about living authentically and sharing openly about past trauma, addiction, and recovery. Her hope is to challenge the stigma society still holds for these issues. She is a lover of all things creative and believes in the power of art to heal and transform.



Corri Lynne shared so openly and vulnerably about her own journey recovering from addiction and an eating disorder, and how she reconnected with her creative side to heal trauma... and how she now creates healing stories for children to feel more empowered in navigating their own emotional world. We also talked about some very practical ways to deal with self-doubt and shame when we create and share our art.

In this episode, I'm here to guide you towards spending more time doing rather than endlessly ruminating over the process of making art. As always, my intention is to help you navigate the complexities of your creative mind without letting it hold you back. Today, I'll share some insights to prompt you to consider other aspects of yourself that can contribute to the creative process, allowing the mind to take a back seat and let you move forward into creation mode.



Having someone holding space and guiding you through this process would feel like a big exhale? I'm here! You're always welcome to book a free 30-minute call with me to talk through your dreams, challenges, and explore coaching options.

Today, I'm chatting with Susan Victoria Becher, (a lovely former client of mine!) who is a poet, writer, singer/songwriter, and overall creative being. She enjoys broadening her skillset by trying new things and encouraging others to do the same. She is publishing her YA novel entitled 'Penn and Ava' this summer, with a publishing date set for July 23rd. She is also in the process of writing and recording an album. And she is currently in graduate school to become a Licensed Professional Counselor and plans to graduate in December of 2025.

During our conversation, we explore the creative process of publishing a book and recording an album, chat about the healing power of art, dive into the courage of making big life changes and finding communities that truly support us, and discuss small steps to navigate the vulnerable process of sharing our art with the world.

Susan is currently running a crowdfunding campaign to support the publishing of her YA novel. Let's share and support her: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/penn-ava-help-me-publish-my-ya-novel#/
