65. Break Through Your Creative Blocks with Lira Kay

Description

Lira Kay is a true master of helping purpose-driven professionals break through creative blocks and make a meaningful impact. All of us encounter creative blocks sometimes, whether in business, life, love, or creative passions. Breaking through those blocks or chains can feel like a struggle, because doing so involves confronting our own fears. We discuss the tools that can help, including developing a new clarity in seeing yourself by identifying your archetype and element, and then understanding your shadow side. Today, she’s here to help you let go of your old, limited self and share your true gifts with the world.

The Mission Log:

[03:23] - Lira shares a bit about what she does, which is working with creative people who are experiencing creative blocks.
[04:51] - What are the biggest reasons why people have creative blocks?
[05:59] - Lira explains what, exactly, is the difference between therapy and coaching.
[07:03] - We learn more about the difference between Lira’s approach as a therapist and her approach as a coach. In her answer, Lira explains that she works with archetypes.
[08:26] - What does Lira do when she’s coaching someone and something from the past comes up? The key, she explains, is to not avoid it but to actually look at it non-judgmentally. She also reveals that she has her clients set a date for healing.
[10:52] - Lira goes into more detail about the healing dates that her clients set, which are usually measured in weeks rather than months or years.
[12:05] - Lira believes that we can live many lifetimes during the 80 or 90 years we have.
[13:20] - What is Lira’s definition of rebirth?
[15:58] - We hear what four archetypes Lira uses (artist, alchemist, architect, altruist), and how they help her provide effective coaching to her clients. She then explains that people express themselves in four different ways: fire, air, water, and earth.
[18:39] - Lira talks about the shadow side of the artist archetype. Orion then talks about the fact that the most successful people tend to polarize their audience rather than being liked by everybody.
[21:58] - What is the shadow side of the architect?
[23:33] - Lira discusses the shadow side of the alchemist.
[25:33] - We learn about the shadow side of the last of Lira’s four archetypes: the altruist.
[27:09] - Orion sees herself in all four archetypes, she reveals. She then discusses the connection between darkness and light.
[28:23] - Lira shares more about the interconnection between the archetypes and the elements.
[32:11] - The structure of archetypes and elements came to Lira in a dream, she reveals. She then shares more about her past and her creative process. Orion then discusses all the knowledge out there for us to tap into.
[35:30] - We return to the topic of rebirth, with Lira explaining that it involves accessing the collective subconscious.
[37:11] - Orion talks about a book by her husband, Stephan Spencer: Google Power Search.
[37:57] - Lira’s genius is to speak with a particular person and come up with what they need, she explains. She then talks about working with feelings with her clients, and reveals that almost all of the people she works with need help getting in touch with the physical body.
[41:13] - Orion switches topics a bit, asking Lira how we can get clarity in our businesses.
[43:10] - Lira mentions one of her books, titled I Belong: The Journey From Lost to Found.
[44:06] - What are Lira’s three tips to living a stellar life? 1. Be who you are, but don’t be attached to your human path. 2. Don’t hold back when it comes to experiencing and gifting people with your authentic truth. 3. Say to yourself, “I am in a process; I am all good.”
[45:15] - Lira talks about where people can find her (at shesgotpassion.com) and offers Stellar Life listeners a free gift: a session with her. To set up yours, go to this link!
