However much we care about our creative projects, it’s not always easy to make space for them in our lives. In solo projects, we rely a lot on our own motivation and dedication, and it can be difficult to keep making your creativity a priority. In this episode, I share my best tips if you want to make more space for creativity in your life, and how I’ve managed to work on my novel alongside running a creative business and now working a part-time job as well.

Balance is one of my core values as a human, writer, business owner and coach. It’s something I’ve explored for myself and it’s something I help creatives embrace through my work. In this episode, I dig into five aspects of building a balanced creative life, and share what to think about if you also crave creating in a calmer, slower way.

It’s now been 7 weeks since I shifted my creative coaching business to run part-time alongside a content writer job. I’ve been learning a lot about what I want this balance to look like, what’s important to me in this season of my creative journey and also what isn’t. In this episode I take you behind the scenes to share my experience so far!

Dream projects are impactful projects, much beyond the practical outcome and possible external success. These are projects that hone our skills, form our creative identities and shape our creative lives. In this episode, I tell the story of how my dream projects have changed my life in both big and small ways.

Here’s the thing. You can have the best idea, the best plans and the best habits, but if fear gets in the way and you don’t dare to move forward with your dream project… then you’re not going to get very far. This is a really big source of creative block, and in this episode I dive into the murky waters of fear. I talk about the most common fears I see in my coaching clients, and how you can navigate them and dare to work on your dream project.

Now we’re really getting into it - in this episode, I talk about about moving from the idea stage of your dream project, and into actually creating it. This is a tricky part of the process, where all our doubts might rise up, and it’s of course also an essential part of the process. I talk about how to make that transition, where to start and what to think about as you start creating.

Continuing on with the topic of dream projects, in this episode I dive into the first part: the idea stage. This stage is often confusing and messy, yet wonderful and important. Since dream projects often represent a start or a shift, understanding your idea and figuring out your direction is essential. I share my best insights and tips for developing your idea and getting through this stage.

There is one specific type of creative project that I believe is more important than all the rest: the dream projects. They are the projects we care about the most, that matter most for our creative journey, and that also challenge us the most. In this episode, I dive into what dream projects are like, how they shape us as creatives, and what to think about when pursuing one.
