The Creative Midwife Show79 - The Rhythm of The Creative ProcessNot the A to Z, linear process you’ve been taught. We still have a beginning, middle, and an end, but we also have a break after the end. That makes the four seasons of the creative process that we’re more familiar with as Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Our creative energy follows the same cycles and rhythm of the seasons. Learn how to recognise where you are in the creative process and how to support yourself through all of the ups and downs using these seasonal rhythms.

Do you need to write into your book from a different place? Do you need to adjust or revise the structure so you feel grounded when you’re writing the detail? Do you need to express yourself in a way that wasn’t in your plan right now? Do you need to reflect and process the emotions that writing is bringing up for you?

Let alone if you’ve intentionally created a fully-fledged plan and become consciously attached to those expectations, to things working out a certain way. I share how I’ve cleared these sneaky expectations to get back in flow in writing my book, creating this podcast, and in my daily routine. Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

Instead, I took an unintentional hiatus and the Universe taught me how to honour the tension and build the excitement for when I could get back to my creative work. How long we think our book will take to write is so often a made up, sneaky expectation that doesn’t reflect the incredible growth journey we’ve been invited on. Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

That’s when it’s time to commit to the first draft knowing that there will be the opportunity for further research and filling in the gaps after you have a first draft to work with.

I have to hide my phone from myself. I can check the word count multiple times as I progress from zero to 300 to 550 to 800 and finally to my 1000-word goal. And every writing session has an ebb and flow, a rise and fall that we can learn to navigate with confidence from the shifting of the seasons. Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

I copied the 7000 word transcript from a podcast episode into my manuscript and it felt like cheating. Why was I valuing the “hard work” of writing new words above quotes that were far more likely to make it into the final draft? Why didn’t it count to add the transcript as first draft content and move on? Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

I’ve been sick for three weeks, travelled to Europe for two weeks, and then had on-going sickness for two months. When I thought it was going to take me a year to write the first draft I freaked out because it felt so long. Now I expect it to take longer. And I don’t write every day or even every work day.

The Creative Midwife Show64 - How To Bring More Emotion Into Your WritingI was asked a question in my last writing class, "How do I write less analytically?" And my answer is to bring in more emotion. For you to share an experience you’ve had that is a real-life example or moment of what we’re analytically speaking about. We can dive deep into how that experience felt to us.
This is not your classic “show, don’t tell” writing advice. This is going deeper than showing what happened by using all our senses to describe the scene. This is about describing the emotions we felt, what responses were trigger...2024-04-0443 min

The purpose of the idea is simply to get us to the next step, to take us through our journey to the next point in the road.

The third in the series I speak about what happens once we hear what our intuition is suggesting, how to deal when we don’t like what it’s saying, and taking inspired action by allowing our intuition to lead.
“A lot of the time we get this idea and it freaks us out. We’re not ready to take action on it or even consider it further. But if we give it some time and space, it integrates and the idea com...2022-08-071h 25The Creative Midwife Show28 - Connecting with your cycle (let your intuition lead)This episode is from a livestream series I did last year called Let Your Intuition Lead.

It is in this way that our businesses facilitate the freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment we desire.
“We've grown this amazing business. We've built it up to a certain point. And it's become capped because it's capped by our energy and our space and our time. We need to allow our businesses to grow into their own...2022-07-1131 min

We are still living within the same community, culture, society that supports and normalises “the day job” with all the limitations on our freedom, flexibility, fulfilment, and funds that we desire to break from.
To experience our wildest dreams through the freedom, flexibility, fulfilment, and funds we have always known our business can facilitate…
We’re creating a new culture.
A new culture with new “....ideas, customs, and social behaviours of a particular people or society.” (dictionary definition, you’re welcome)

So that you know where things are, you know things ar...2022-05-3024 minThe Creative Midwife Show19 - What to expect once you say no to doing life the hard wayIn this episode I’m talking about what happens after we decide that we are committing to finding and following the path of ease and flow. What happens after we declare that we are no longer available for doing life the hard way, when we are no longer available for forcing things.
“There’s this belief that’s holding you tied to the path of force. We’ve been able to force ourselves to do things and that’s gotten us a result, that’s how we’ve gotten the thing we wanted. This is how we create the motiv...2022-05-2250 minThe Creative Midwife Show18 - Blending work and life during the school holidaysIn this episode I’m talking about blending work and life in a very real way, coming to you from the middle of the school holidays ready to bust down these work-life balance boxes.

“I think a lot of this comes down to believing that we need to punish ourselves for being in, for getting ourselves into this situation that we don’t want. As if we don't deserve to get out of it in a way that's fun. We have to put in the work. We need to hustle and put in the grind to then be worthy of the reward, to be worthy of the go...2022-04-0350 minThe Creative Midwife Show14 - Navigating big life events in a way that supports your mental health and emotional well-beingIn this episode I’m speaking about navigating big life events to support your mental health and emotional well-being which is so relevant and so important to our day to day experience and the lives we’re creating because…
