    End of year panic anyone? - Ep. 184

    It's that time of the year when time seems to speed up, and we're confronted with the reality of whatever we've been doing or not doing throughout the past year. I know if you're anything like me, you started into the year with at least a rough idea of where you'd like to take things. Yes, you might not have committed to obvious minimal outcomes, but I know you probably had a rough idea in your mind and heart.   The year is luckily not yet over, and we still have a little bit of time to change directions, yes big lofty goals might be off the table, but smaller direction changes are still possible.   So, how do you feel looking back at the past few months Where are you now? And did you work on your goals? Are you frustrated, excited, proud? Or a little bit ashamed?   Let's continue the conversation in today's episode.      Journal Prompts from today's episode:    What would make the year 2024 successful?  How would you be able to turn the sails now?  What would bring your dreams and desires into reality? Is there a way to measure your progress, daily or weekly?     Mentioned on the Show: Book a conversation for 1-1 Coaching: www.kerstinpressler.com/meeting-you Free Workshop sign up 'Where Passion Meets Profit': www.kerstinpressler.com/passion-meets-profit 'The Unapologetic Artist' Flagship course waitlist: www.kerstinpressler.com/waitlist- artist Send me your review!

    Let's ditch the how for now. - Ep. 183

    I have a bit of an unconventional approach to figuring out the ho. So stay with me for a moment, because what I'm about to say is going to challenge you. However, I do believe that you'll agree with me at the end of today's episode. I think you should ditch figuring out the how for now.    I know it's so tempting every time we come up with dreams, desires, and goals in our head, we're jumping directly to: 'But how are we going to do this?' And yes, I believe learning how to do things is important, but I also do know that we took our obsession with the how-to far.   So let's entertain the thought of ditching the how for now, in today's episode.    Journal Prompts from today's episode:    So, just look at your life currently:  Where are you, what do you do? What can you be grateful for? Which resources do you currently have?   Then, once you've gotten clarity on that, ponder the following questions:  Where you're currently hanging out, ask yourself, Where do I want to go? What is the difference between the person I currently am and the person I desire to become? What is different in these two version of you's lives?   Mentioned on the Show: Book a conversation for 1-1 Coaching: www.kerstinpressler.com/meeting-you Free Workshop sign up 'Where Passion Meets Profit': www.kerstinpressler.com/passion-meets-profit 'The Unapologetic Artist' Flagship course waitlist: www.kerstinpressler.com/waitlist- artist Send me your review!

    Ditching the Struggle - Ep. 182

    In Artist circles, we've all been confronted with the idea of selling out.   However, I do, from the bottom of my heart, not believe in it. And I'm wondering how it is for you. Do you believe in the myth of the starving artist? Do you believe that the only way to live out your creative passion truly is only possible if you rid yourself of all earthly wants and needs? Do you believe that whenever an artist is selling their work with ease, they are inherently selling out and betraying the artist's profession? Do you believe that to be a true artist, you can only live out one true, passionate way that won't bring money? If you're hanging out here with me, I can not believe that you truly think that's true, but hear me out…   Journal Prompts from today's episode:    Ask yourself what would living my best creative life look like. How does being myself fully look like? How can I jump into ditching this starving artist myth fully? What do I need to get me there? What is the next step?   Mentioned on the Show: Book a conversation for 1-1 Coaching: www.kerstinpressler.com/meeting-you Free Workshop sign up 'Where Passion Meets Profit': www.kerstinpressler.com/passion-meets-profit 'The Unapologetic Artist' Flagship course waitlist: www.kerstinpressler.com/waitlist- artist Send me your review!

    Time to commit - Ep. 181

    You are the one deciding where the journey goes. I know it might be harsh, but we are in control of our lives and where we're taking it. Yes, for some people, the path might be a bit less steep, but no matter your starting point, you'll have to commit and do the work. I know for sure that I could have given up before I even got started, but I didn't. Now I'd love to invite you to entertain the thought with me in today's episode.  Let's explore where the journey might take you and how you'll be able to bring your dreams and desires to life.        Mentioned on the Show: Book a conversation for 1-1 Coaching: www.kerstinpressler.com/meeting-you Free Workshop sign up 'Where Passion Meets Profit': www.kerstinpressler.com/passion-meets-profit 'The Unapologetic Artist' Flagship course waitlist: www.kerstinpressler.com/waitlist- artist Send me your review!

    Coming up with your storyline - Ep. 180

    I love to read artist biographies, especially about female artists.  I'm always very inspired by their heroine stories.  Their stories truly can light a fire within me.    So today it hit me, why don't start to create my very own storyline for my creative life?  So I can become the protagonist and the storyteller at once.  Sounds a bit weird, but I'm challenging you to stay with me and join me in today's conversation.  I'd love to explore with you what we can learn from the stories of the great artists that went before us.    Journal Prompts from today's episode:    I'd love to invite you to come up with your very own life story: What is the storyline going to be? Are you going to be boldly passionate? Are you going to be a crazy ambitious creator? Or are you an accidental professional creator? Are you the young one who right away was recognized?  Or are you the person who came to art later in life and is then crushing it? What would you like to be part of your story?     Mentioned on the Show: Book a conversation for 1-1 Coaching: www.kerstinpressler.com/meeting-you Free Workshop sign up 'Where Passion Meets Profit': www.kerstinpressler.com/passion-meets-profit 'The Unapologetic Artist' Flagship course waitlist: www.kerstinpressler.com/waitlist- artist Send me your review!

    Money Versus Passion - Ep. 179

    When we grew up, we got indoctrinated by the idea that you'll have to choose between making money and you're passion.   Or that if you're fortunate, you could keep your passion on the side and do it as a hobby.   But if you dared to choose your passion as a profession, you would surely end up starving and relying on other people's money.    Today, I'd love to share some secrets with you on how to overcome these limiting beliefs.    Journal Prompts from today's episode:    PICK AND CHOOSE, FOUR AFFIRMATIONS TO TRY: I deserve luxury. I can afford the lifestyle I desire. I'm ready to receive. My creative work sells like hotcakes. PICK AND CHOOSE FOUR JOURNAL PROMPT OPTIONS: What would living your most abundant life look like? What do I need to learn to become finance savvy and know what I'm doing when it comes to money? What is standing between you and what you desire to have? How would you enjoy sharing your abundance with the world?   Mentioned on the Show: Book a conversation for 1-1 Coaching: www.kerstinpressler.com/meeting-you Free Workshop sign up 'Where Passion Meets Profit': www.kerstinpressler.com/passion-meets-profit 'The Unapologetic Artist' Flagship course waitlist: www.kerstinpressler.com/waitlist- artist Send me your review!
