This week’s solo episode is in honour of Preganancy Loss and Awarness Month, I talk about my experiences with this but more importantly my miracle that happened. I became a mom. We had a daughter and named her Zia, which means light. She’s our light that helped us in sooo.many.ways. So aside from sharing my testimony that a whole year can look completely different, I wanted to offer this message for anyone on a fertility journey You are not alone. It’s not your fault. There is nothing wrong with you. You are not being punished. You are loved. You are love. Trust in the magic of healing, Timing, Patience, Faith. Give yourself Grace.

Melanie Shields, Change your mind and do it scared.

This week’s guest is Melanie Shields, she’s a scholar turned cda turned baker and she’s under 30. This episode highlights how no matter what age you are, it’s important to listen to your inner voice when you feel uninspired. This can look like dreading going to work the next day, or having anxiety at work. Melanie shares how you can overcome this with small steps by starting with doing things that you enjoy. My Favourite Melanie quotes: “I find it really encouraging that there are people out there who make career changes of life changes of any kind so late in their life..there’s always time, you’re out of time when your dead. I can change my mind any time I want to and that’s really encouraging.” “I went through the whole phase of oh this is the universe telling me I shouldn’t do this, or I’m being redirected in some way and I should do it as a hobby and jus leave it at that, but I found kind a surprising amount of success on Etsy..and just wanted to dive into doing it on my own to prove it to myself that was still interested in making this career change and this is the direction I wanted to go.” “That year of pause and exploration of what am I interested in, is it cookies? is it bread? is it chocolate? is it this or that? Just did nothing but cement the idea that this is exactly what I want to do.” “Do it scared, don’t wait till you’re ready, you’ll never be ready, especially if you’re an anxious person” “Look at my eyes when I talk about it, the things that light you up like this don’t ignore it, it’s not to be ignored.” Contact Melanie IG: www.instagram.com/mels.baked Visit Flourist Bakery 3433 Commerical St. Website: https://flourist.com IG: https://instagram.com/flourist Contact Daisy   Email: hello@aporpro.ca   Website: www.aporpro.ca  IG: www.instagram.com/creativeinspo_daisy  Thank you for listening and being a part of this space xoxo

Creativeinspo Message #6: Try, Try Again

Creativeinspo Message #6 is, Try, Try Again. This is for everyone who has experienced failure, in any capacity.  I touch on three ways you can find the confidence to get up and try again and apply it to your creative journey.  I talk about a personal experience I had and also, in regards to being a new mom, yes that’s happening soon!!! I know I can apply these things in those moments when I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing as well. When maybe perhaps, I might feel like a failure.  After all it’s about growing,  And learning,  Discovering new layers of yourself.  Enjoy the journey that is life.  Try again! I believe in you!!  As with all solo episodes, get your worksheet for review (Find my list of favourite people I go to for motivation) You can also combine this weeks message with previous ones to build up your arsenal of Creativeinspo!

Lori Laskowsky, How to make your Inner Artist Thrive

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! If you've struggled with the term starving artist, or felt shy to call yourself an artist, Lori's story will inspire you to find your voice to DO YOUR THING!! My Favourite Lori Quotes: "It was a tough time, but I guess I knew had to do something to change something" "When it got to point where it was really difficult, I would just give up and say, well I'm not good at this...but believing, alright, if you do the hard part you'll get it eventually, it doesn't have to be perfect at first." "I didn't actually want the people in my life to see my art, because they are going to think I am crazy for this" "It's just doing, just do it, if you don't love it, just do it again, try to make it the best you can, instead of sitting back and saying it's too hard." "If you don't believe in yourself then who else can believe in you..if I do have that belief then I can do anything."

Creativeinspo Message #5: If not you, who?

Creativeinspo Message #5 is, If not you, who? Some of my favourite quotes: Mary Oliver:  Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?  Oprah: Your passion leads you to your purpose. These are great reflections as this week I chat about why you should absolutely DO. THE. THING. that you've thought about.  When you think things have been done,  it's a saturated market,  that you're too late.  No one can do it the way you do it. So please know that out of 1 in 4 trillion chances, you were made. You have a purpose. Only you can answer the questions as to what it is. So please GO. DO.  Have a listen!! I believe in YOU!!
