    79 - The Rhythm of The Creative Process

    Not the A to Z, linear process you’ve been taught. We still have a beginning, middle, and an end, but we also have a break after the end. That makes the four seasons of the creative process that we’re more familiar with as Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Our creative energy follows the same cycles and rhythm of the seasons. Learn how to recognise where you are in the creative process and how to support yourself through all of the ups and downs using these seasonal rhythms.  Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

Do you need to reflect and process the emotions that writing is bringing up for you? Learn how to navigate writer’s block as the guide that it is.  Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

    75 - Get Unstuck: Clear Those Sneaky Expectations

    A passing thought can become a sneaky expectation that creates emotional turmoil, friction, stress, and that feeling of being stuck. Let alone if you’ve intentionally created a fully-fledged plan and become consciously attached to those expectations, to things working out a certain way. I share how I’ve cleared these sneaky expectations to get back in flow in writing my book, creating this podcast, and in my daily routine.  Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

    74 - Excitement After an Unplanned Hiatus From Writing

    Trusting that I would have time to write over the past two months of summer holidays with the family turned into just two frustrating writing sessions. Instead, I took an unintentional hiatus and the Universe taught me how to honour the tension and build the excitement for when I could get back to my creative work. How long we think our book will take to write is so often a made up, sneaky expectation that doesn’t reflect the incredible growth journey we’ve been invited on.  Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!
