In this episode, I discuss the Creative cycle and how we can overcome the creative block or feelings of imposter syndrome by understanding our creative process. There are times during a Creatives career that they may be more vibrant and external and others may feel more inward and passive.  Understanding our creative energy will help us to use these energies to create a unique body of work regardless of the medium.  Just like a farmer who plans by the Old Almanack creatives can prepare and match their energies to specific projects without burning themselves out.  When we trust our bodies we create space for synchronicities so join me as I uncover how this way of working has fueled my business.    website www.mjfontaine.co.uk

A Bonus Episode  I speak about protecting your dreams and being decerning with sharing your ideas at the baby stage. We can often give our power away to our friends and family before we have embodied our new identity, which is the biggest dream killer.  I offer 3 questions for you to consider before you share your dreams with well-meaning friends and how you can stand in your power as you grow into the amazing creative that you are.  Website www.mjfontaine.co.uk
