Ep 47 - Resting to Receive and Being a Gate Tender with Isabel Bagsik


In today’s episode we are joined by Isabel Bagsik, Creativity Wellness Guide and very nourishing human to share space with!


The TLDR:
Your Creative Calling is Medicine
-Why so many visionaries and change makers who identify as women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or as the child of immigrants feel like there aren't enough hours in the day for rest and self care, let alone creativity and play
-How toxic capitalist ideals need you to believe your creativity should "just be a hobby" or "isn't worthy if it's not productive" and how to rewrite this narrative
-Why the prioritization of rest and creativity is the secret to an abundant income that lets you help support your loved ones, donate to causes you care about, and travel the world
-How to connect with your inner child to experience liberated play that takes you from discouraged and unmotivated to overflowing with creative enthusiasm and momentum


More about Isabel and how you can work together:
Isabel Bagsik (she/her) is a Creativity Wellness Guide and art director who works with visionaries and changemakers ready to honor their inherent creative wisdom without the burnout.
