    Do Our Hopes & Dreams Even Matter?

    This motivational episode dives into that question, especially for those of us who feel a little "out of tune" and stuck in survival mode. If you're wondering why your dreams matter more than you think, this is for you. In this episode, I explore the philosophical and practical struggle of how to take action on your dreams when life feels messy. I'll share my journey of overcoming fear of failure and fighting self-doubt, and why I believe that pursue your dreams motivation is a life-giving act. I also talk about finding your passion and purpose in life and the small, consistent daily habits for a successful life that can help us get there. This isn't just about a motivational speech, but a real-life exploration of why you should pursue your dreams even when it's hard. I also touch on ideas from stoicism for women and share some of my own experience as a creative person trying to learn from other artists. Watch the full creative motivational video to learn more about my personal journey and find the creative encouragement you might need to take action on your own dreams. I'm cheering you on to keep believing in yourself and bring more magic into your everyday life!   Creative Inspo, Community & Zines for Substack & Patreon Subscribers: https://quinncurtis.substack.com/ https://www.patreon.com/c/QuinnCurtis My Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/quinncurtisart/ Subscribe for more tips on finding more well-being & creativity in a busy life! https://www.youtube.com/@QuinnCurtisShow

    Artist Vlog: Day in the Life | Creative Process & Zine Update

    Welcome to my artist vlog! This week, I'm trying something a little different and bringing you along for a "day in the life" as an artist working in their studio – balancing creative projects, a full-time job, and family life. It's a "real day in the life" perspective to show what it really looks like to be an artist trying to juggle it all. Join me as I kick off the day with an inspired creative morning routine of Etsy shop ideas, working on a relaunch of my print shop and even planning apparel! You'll see me squeezing in some dedicated time for my indie zine update, including the final touches on a new drawing. A big step this week was taking my art to a professional photographer for the first time, addressing some art photography struggles – a truly vulnerable but exciting "rite of passage" as an artist! Throughout the day, I'm embracing the beautiful juggle, from quick lunch meetups with a friend to handling unexpected mom duties and a fun book club night out. It's all about finding that artist life balance and infusing creativity into everyday life, even when it's messy. You'll see a glimpse of artist productivity amidst the chaos! At the end of the day, I'll share how the latest zine drawing came together, from scanning and cleaning up the art in Procreate to seeing it brought to life in the zine mockup. My goal is to get this zine completely done by the end of this month so I can send it to the press next month – we're getting close to the finish line! If you're looking for insights into the creative process video of a working artist, balancing commitments, and prioritizing creative well-being while pursuing your dreams, then you're in the right place. Learn to trust the creative process and find joy in the journey. This art project vlog highlights the real creative process struggles and the rewarding zine making progress. Watch on YouTube here

    Inner Peace Wisdom: Understanding Emotions | A Philosophical Deep Dive

    Join me and my incredible friend, coach, and healer, Calli, for a deep dive into the fascinating world of feelings and understanding emotions for adults! In this philosophical conversation, we explore why we often avoid our emotions, what they're truly trying to tell us, and how they connect to our inner peace wisdom and mind-body connection explained. Inspired by the ancient practice of philosophers discussing their ideas and life's profound questions openly in public spaces like the town square for all to hear, we unpack thought-provoking questions like: How do we differentiate between genuine intuition and fear-driven narratives, learning to trust your inner voice? What role do our belief systems and reality play in shaping our emotional landscape and what is reality itself? Is the universe a loving and supportive force, or is it inherently punitive, and how does that influence our emotional experience and ability to feel better about yourself? Why does society often encourage us to numb or disregard our feelings, and what are the consequences of not knowing how to feel better or how to stop numbing yourself? We share personal epiphanies, discuss the concept of feelings as a "body barometer", and challenge the notion that simply naming an emotion is enough. This isn't about prescribing absolute truths, but rather an invitation for deep philosophical discussions to consider different perspectives on understanding your feelings and emotions and navigating the human experience. We even touch on aspects of how to heal trauma wounds through engaging with your emotional self. Let us know your thoughts in the comments and what other philosophical topics you'd like us to explore in the future! Watch this episode on video here:
