#creativeinspo, seconds to courage. by Daisy Salvacion-Shields

Hiiii Everyone!! I'm back, it's a new season but the theme of this show stays the same. This is the space to be a part of if you're looking for Creative Inspo. Guests continue to share vulnerable, heart filled stories of taking inspired action, and I will continue to champion you as you endeavour with your creative self.

Creativeinspo Message #6 is, Try, Try Again. This is for everyone who has experienced failure, in any capacity. 

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!

Creativeinspo Message #4 is Break.

Creativeinspo Message #3: TELL YOUR STORY 

In this week's episode I chat with Jackie Amsden, this girl is funnnnny, and she has a pretty fantastic story. As a teenage model who got to work and travel in Asia, she was able to turn her adventures into a novel. From what I learned through Jackie's story, the most important thing to remember is, outside validation can only go so far. Until you can truly fulfill what is lacking inwards, it is only then when one can build their voice authentically, and have a good time doing so!

For Valentine's Month the Creativeinspo message #3: SELF-LOVE.

This week’s episode is with Susie Miles, if you ever needed to look for inspiration on how and why you should leave a job that’s no longer serving you, listen to this episode!

Creativeinspo message #1: Start Before You are Ready!

This week's guest is Gina Clark. She talks about how and why it's so important to reconnect with yourself creatively, while being a mom, a wife and wearing alll the hats. It might take decades to realize what you need to do, but if in your day-to-day motions of life, if you are feeling any sort of lack, a void and uninspired, these are signs that you need to FILL. YOUR. CUP. This is definitely different for everyone, but it can be starting as simply as Gina did, with saying goodnight at littler earlier to her family and spending half and hour reading before bed. Gina was able to turn her creativity curiosity into a meaningful career change. She founded Gina Clark Creative, supporting people as a creativity coach as well as exploring her love of arts through watercolour.
