If you’re struggling with showing up, sharing your art, expressing yourself, and yet, you have this deep urge to create and longing for sharing your art/your truth with the world, please know you’re not alone.

Switching from Inner Critic to Inner Loving as a default mode changed my life. It is like the roots of a tree, healthily planted into the ground, and nourished by a fertile soil.From this self-love, everything else will grow and flow through you. I know it sounds cliché, but love is truly the biggest creative force in the world.

In this episode, I talk about what I think about putting such a strong emphasis on manifestation, and how it can be damaging to our mental health as Highly Sensitive and Creative souls. And how I like to reframe it for a more empowered energy.

If you’ve been feeling caught in a personal time wrap, stuck on your personal version of Groundhog Day, while it looks like everyone else is getting on with their life, light and unencumbered by such heaviness, please know that you’re not alone. Things can change, you can dream it up all over again.

The end of year can be quite stressful for creative HSPs, who tend to overthink, suffer from self-doubt and feel overwhelmed, with all the related expectations creeping on us - consciously or subconsciously. Because when you’re in a deep state of confusion, it’s really hard to see how you can change. It kind of feels impossible, too much, even more overwhelming.

So often our biggest gifts lie into what we think is our biggest curse. When we’re young, we are criticized and shamed for things that come naturally to us but are deemed unreasonable or unimportant by society, our caregivers, our peers. What if these perceived weaknesses were actually our biggest strengths?

Our purpose is right here, before our eyes, all the time, but often, we only know it subconsciously. In this episode, I share the exact process I took myself through when it was time for me to embark on a new path.

I used to look for guidance, for answers everywhere but within. Same for my emotional needs. Going on solo trips or eating out on my own at restaurants would freak me out. You know what I mean?Now I revel in my solo time - it’s so precious! Because the best cure to loneliness as an HSP is time in silence and solitude.
