Welcome to the finale of our CREATE spiral series! Today we're diving into expansion - when you're ready to be seen in a bigger way but the thought of taking risks makes your heart race.

I share my three circles framework for understanding your capacity for risk: comfort zone, stretch zone, and terror zone. Plus the crucial piece most artists miss - how to recharge after expanding so you can take progressively bigger steps without burning out.

What You'll Learn:

• How to read your nervous system to know when you're stretching vs. pushing too far
• The difference between healthy recharging and avoidance
• Common expansion mistakes that lead to burnout or stagnation
• Why expansion creates an upward spiral back to curiosity
• Practical steps to start expanding strategically this week

Key Takeaway: You don't have to be fearless. You just need to take one small, strategic risk and then care for yourself afterward.

Perfect for artists ready to submit work, raise prices, or share more boldly - without the overwhelm.
