And how to move through it. This topic begs repeating because I came across a few more people recently in my own professional community that are struggling with this. I first wrote about it here.

I highly advocate for sharing your ideas, goals and ambitions with a few others. Even if they feel foolish to admit or totally out of reach- there is great power in getting these hopes and dreams out in the big wide world.

So if you have a project or venture in mind that absolutely must get off the ground, gather the right support, don’t hide it from others until it’s ready. Start telling those closest to you about what it is you are envisioning. Create your launch team and get moving!

Sometimes you just have to sit with an idea, hum-and-ha it over for a bit, even if it seems you may never come to a solution.

A lot of what I learned over the years as I navigate a creative career is the skill of adaptability. Staying flexible, open and less rigid for me has literally allowed me to learn a ton, expand my career beyond anything I could have possibly dreamt up when I started.
