#Creativeinspo, Seconds to Courage is a podcast sharing real life stories of people's experiences in the moments when the choose themselves. It highlights how everyone's unique tale reflects a common message, that creating a life you love is possible.

    Welcome and thank you for tuning into #CreativeInspo, Seconds to Courage, my name is Daisy Salvacion-Shields, I am your podcast host. I am also all-things-creative but what I love most is filmmaking, creating fabulous photoshoots and staying in-the-flow with creative inspiration.  That's why I'm starting this podcast. I know how easy it is to fall into a rut thinking, there isn't enough, time, money, talent etc., to start that something that crossed your mind. You know what I'm talking about. The passing thought of, oh, that would be cool if I could, or, that would be so much fun, if only I had the talent. Here's the thing, you thought it. It's YOURS. Own it, whatever that may be.  How? Truth is, I don't have a formulaic golden answer for you, but I am hoping to bring you some creative inspiration to get you started with the stories that I will share. My guests read aloud their personal account of when they changed career paths, or made other decisions that lead them to creating a life they love. I'm am also going to share prompts of 'Creativeinpso' along the way. In my experience, the craziest, most insane decisions happen in just mere seconds. Yes it can be terrifying, and you won't have all the answers right away but the other side is sooo worth it. You are worth it and Courage is there to help you as soon as you're ready.  Subscribe to #Creativeinspo, Seconds to Courage, wherever you listen to podcasts. I can't wait for you to see all your possibilities!! Daisy's contact info: www. aporpro.ca IG: www.instagram.com/creativeinspo_daisy

    Melanie Shields, Change your mind and do it scared.

    This week’s guest is Melanie Shields, she’s a scholar turned cda turned baker and she’s under 30. This episode highlights how no matter what age you are, it’s important to listen to your inner voice when you feel uninspired. This can look like dreading going to work the next day, or having anxiety at work. Melanie shares how you can overcome this with small steps by starting with doing things that you enjoy. My Favourite Melanie quotes: “I find it really encouraging that there are people out there who make career changes of life changes of any kind so late in their life..there’s always time, you’re out of time when your dead. I can change my mind any time I want to and that’s really encouraging.” “I went through the whole phase of oh this is the universe telling me I shouldn’t do this, or I’m being redirected in some way and I should do it as a hobby and jus leave it at that, but I found kind a surprising amount of success on Etsy..and just wanted to dive into doing it on my own to prove it to myself that was still interested in making this career change and this is the direction I wanted to go.” “That year of pause and exploration of what am I interested in, is it cookies? is it bread? is it chocolate? is it this or that? Just did nothing but cement the idea that this is exactly what I want to do.” “Do it scared, don’t wait till you’re ready, you’ll never be ready, especially if you’re an anxious person” “Look at my eyes when I talk about it, the things that light you up like this don’t ignore it, it’s not to be ignored.” Contact Melanie IG: www.instagram.com/mels.baked Visit Flourist Bakery 3433 Commerical St. Website: https://flourist.com IG: https://instagram.com/flourist Contact Daisy   Email: hello@aporpro.ca   Website: www.aporpro.ca  IG: www.instagram.com/creativeinspo_daisy  Thank you for listening and being a part of this space xoxo

    Creativeinspo Message #6: Try, Try Again

    Creativeinspo Message #6 is, Try, Try Again. This is for everyone who has experienced failure, in any capacity.  I touch on three ways you can find the confidence to get up and try again and apply it to your creative journey.  I talk about a personal experience I had and also, in regards to being a new mom, yes that’s happening soon!!! I know I can apply these things in those moments when I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing as well. When maybe perhaps, I might feel like a failure.  After all it’s about growing,  And learning,  Discovering new layers of yourself.  Enjoy the journey that is life.  Try again!

    Lori Laskowsky, How to make your Inner Artist Thrive

    This week's guest is Lori Laskowsky, a visual artist who paints pictures of dreamy beach fronts, cozy homes, adorable pet portraits and more! But it wasn't always like that, having been through the toughest of times in her life, Lori sought out solitary serene walks to clear her mind and find motivation. This eventually led to her channeling the courage she needed to put herself out there, offering up her artistic talents, and the world is better for it! If you've struggled with the term starving artist, or felt shy to call yourself an artist, Lori's story will inspire you to find your voice to DO YOUR THING!! My Favourite Lori Quotes: "It was a tough time, but I guess I knew had to do something to change something" "When it got to point where it was really difficult, I would just give up and say, well I'm not good at this...but believing, alright, if you do the hard part you'll get it eventually, it doesn't have to be perfect at first." "I didn't actually want the people in my life to see my art, because they are going to think I am crazy for this" "It's just doing, just do it, if you don't love it, just do it again, try to make it the best you can, instead of sitting back and saying it's too hard." "If you don't believe in yourself then who else can believe in you..if I do have that belief then I can do anything." Contact Lori: IG: www.instagram.com/lorilaskowskyart  FOLLOW her and make sure to keep your ears out for her upcoming podcast THE FEEL GOOD HOME!!

    Creativeinspo Message #5: If not you, who?

    Creativeinspo Message #5 is, If not you, who? Some of my favourite quotes: Mary Oliver:  Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?  Oprah: Your passion leads you to your purpose. These are great reflections as this week I chat about why you should absolutely DO. THE. THING. that you've thought about.  When you think things have been done,  it's a saturated market,  that you're too late.  No one can do it the way you do it. So please know that out of 1 in 4 trillion chances, you were made. You have a purpose. Only you can answer the questions as to what it is. So please GO. DO.  Have a listen!! I believe in YOU!!

    Helida Dodd, How to follow your inner senses.

    In this week’s episode I’m chatting with Helida Dodd, founder of Marbella Perfumes. She built her career as an Industrial Engineer, then raised a beautiful family, and 12 years later had an idea to start her own perfume line.  This episode will not only make you think of smelling all the goodness of the raw ingredients she includes with her unique fragrances (a fragrance btw, that can make you irresistible to your spouse!) but will hopefully get you thinking about that thing you wanted to invent and/or create.  It’s possible peeps!! It takes time, sometimes years, and it’s not easy and you might want to give up along the way BUT it’s possible. If you’re thinking impossible, let’s break it down, repeat after me. Impossible = “I’M POSSIBLE”.  Now go, we believe in you!!!  My Favourite Helida quotes: "I think we really need that someone to show us what's possible, we all need it in so many different aspects of our lives..." "When I saw it, in was that moment, it was just so clear to me that I can do this"  "When you give yourself that space to know, beyond the shadow of doubt, I'm going to do this, I can, I really can, I think you really have to believe in yourself first...before you go and you make these kinds of decisions."  "Being present is just being where your two feet are."  “Being in tune with not just what propels you but also what are those things that stop you..when you're in tune with what's behind this, that's when you really get to know yourself and that's when you really get to hear those internal thoughts and that's been the best" Contact Helida/Marbella Perfumes  Website: https://marbellaperfumes.com  IG: www.instagram.com/marbellaperfumes  FREE EBOOK: "The Art of Perfume Appreciation”. It talks about perfume composition, notes, and ingredient fun facts.   Download here ---> https://welcometomarbella.ck.page/perfume-book  Contact Daisy  Email: hello@aporpro.ca  Website: www.aporpro.ca  IG: www.instagram.com/creativeinspo_daisy Thank you for listening and being a part of this space xoxo

    Creativeinspo Message #4: Break

    Creativeinspo Message #4 is Break. In a world of pushing out content, keeping busy, hustling, there is the inevitable time(s) that comes when a "Break" has to happen for you. Time to take to unwind for your body, soul, mind.  When we are "in flow" and striving to achieve deadlines, taking a break seems counterproductive but sometimes it's out of our hands. Am I right?? In this solo episode, I chat about what unexpected breaks look like and how you can work through them, even if it means breaking the momentum you finally had. I also have a verrrrry special announcement!!! As with all solo episodes, get your worksheet for review and to have on hand to build up your arsenal of Creativeinspo!
