✨ On self-trust ✨ One of the biggest lessons I have learned over the past six month has been to deeply trust myself. Trust that I will make the right calls. Trust that I’ll know when to course correct. Trust when i need to ask for help. Trust my abilities as a mother. My skills as a coach. Trust my creative urges and ideas. Trust that I know what my body needs, what my soul craves. Trust what I am feeling. Trust what I am sensing. Trust my imperfect humanity. Trust my purpose. There are so many reasons why we start doubting our innate inner wisdom. Family. Conditioning. Lived experience. But today, as I stand here trusting that if I was a rockstar this could totally be the cover of Rolling Stone, I want to tell you that self-trust is something that can be gently reawakened and nurtured. The answers lie within. We just sometimes need a little help digging them out. 
"Women are natural creators and healers. Strong women connected to their inherent power and creativity are crucial to the healing and creation of a better world for all. They have the power to tickle the most rigid of minds, drive compassionate innovation and spark change around them. Now more than ever, we need courageous creative leaders who take their seat at all tables. In studios, galleries, concert halls, theatres, publishing houses and producing companies. In offices, in boardrooms, in politics, in schools, in families, in communities and online.” Written a year ago pretty much to the day. Happy International Women’s Day. May we never stop challenging the status quo. #ChooseToChallenge #internationalwomensday2021 #IDW2021 #wearethecreativeeconomy #womenartistsofinsta #wherewomencreate 
“I am not one and simple, but complex and many.” ― Virginia Woolf, The Waves 🌊 Like the sea. Ever changing, always flowing. From here and from there. Sometimes calm, playful. Sometimes, angry, unforgiving. In parts shallow, in parts deep. Sparkly and dark. Dancing and still. Quiet and loud. Like the sea. I am one, made of a multitude. 
Dear creative woman, I hear you talk about self-sabotage and getting in your own way. I see you get frustrated with yourself, comparing yourself, losing faith in yourself and work. But what if your raw, tender heart had had its fair share of hurt, and learnt to build a beautifully sophisticated shell around it? The creative path is one of vulnerability, courage and uncertainty. One of sharing your mind, your heart, your soul. This is no wonder our self-doubt loves to come for a ride... This is just a reminder that beyond this protective shell lives a world of creativity that longs to be expressed ✨
