stART: Copying, Flowers & Frustration

Every couple of weeks I film stART: Creating as We Go with my two sisters, Suzie and Shannon. We share our creative projects, from challenges to celebrations, and support each other’s creative lives. We hope we’ll inspire you to get creating too!

On episode 44: We had another ‘interesting’ time recording this episode (oh, the tech learning never ends!) but we again persevered. We also had another listener email, this time from the lovely Jennifer. Thank you Jennifer! As always, we share what we are up to creatively, from exploring pattern to finding flowers to a surprising way to create macarons!

In this episode we mention:

This Week on Creative Living with Jamie:

Tanya Geisler, leadership coach

Tanya Geisler is Leadership Coach (CPCC, ACC) who helps entrepreneurs (and entrepreneurial types) step into their starring roles of their life and work. What that really means is that she helps them move beyond their Impostor Complex and into their Authority. (Think sovereignty).

She’s spoken at TEDx Women (Impostor and Authority: The Space between what we see and what is real); writes extensively about joy, personal leadership, purpose, the power of community and of course, the Impostor Complex (on her own site as well as others such as the wildly popular The Daily Love); has created the unique coaching/brainstorming fusion that is Board of Your Life (which has been featured in Canadian Living magazine); and leads the transformative 12-week Step into Your Starring Role program that has been called “essential technology for anyone ready – really ready – to actualize their greatest potential.”

In collaboration, Tanya and Lauren Bacon, have created Beyond Compare, a self-study online program for women for women stop who are ready to stop comparing themselves to others and to step into a new way of being where they celebrate others’ success!

Lauren helps entrepreneurs, creative professionals, and accidental bosses discover their own definitions of success, and live (and work) in alignment with them. Some of the ways she does that include writing, coaching, teaching, public speaking, and advising a startup or two. Her writing on business, technology, and leadership has been featured on Quartz, 99u, Women 2.0, The Atlantic, The Huffington Post, and Fast Company – and her bestselling first book, The Boss of You: Everything a Woman Needs to Know to Start, Run, and Maintain Her Business, has been called “the ultimate Bible for female entrepreneurs.”

Art Day: Enjoying Animals, Making Marks & Creative Mess

Art Day Mascots

Every Sunday is Art Day at our house. The kitchen table offers a veritable feast of colour, sparkle and paint. My glitter-bombed animals have quickly become favourite mascots.Creating with Index Cards

My sister Shannon and I are taking Year of the Spark with Carla Sonheim and Lynn Whipple and this week’s class had us creating with index cards. I absolutely love working with index cards because they are so unintimidating!

Making Marks

We made marks.

Finding Animals

And then went on a journey of discovery.

Crayon ColoursWith art supplies all around, it’s easy to get inspired.

Creative Mess

And we always follow where inspiration leads!

By the way, if you’re aching to have some creative fun like this, join me for my Art Day Virtual Retreat. We’re going to have a blast!
