Do you feel like you’re drowning in all of the ‘shoulds’ of life and struggling to find time for the things that really light you up? Or perhaps you feel stuck in a cycle where you feel like you’re going nowhere and wondering how you break free of it?

In today’s episode, I am joined by my friend Bree Pear, a coach for content creators and the founder of Thrive. Bree supports female entrepreneurs to build brands that give them financial freedom and the flexibility to live life on their own terms, and that is something we’re all about at Radiant Womanhood!

In this episode, we discuss:

The pressure of the many ‘shoulds’ in life and how to shift your mindset and free up space to start thinking in terms of ‘coulds’ instead. By making space for creativity, you can find what really lights you up rather than following the course of what you feel is expected of you.

The importance of creating for the sake of creating and pursuing activities purely for your enjoyment of them, without feeling the need to attach an outcome or a purpose. The joy and freedom that comes from pursuing passions that you’re naturally drawn to will then spread into all areas of your life.

Strategies for how to stay present in life and make space for moments where creativity can prosper rather than resorting to activities such as ‘doom-scrolling’ to fill the gaps, and the importance of setting yourself up for success before it gets to the moment itself.

The power of taking a pause and the importance of taking stock and reflecting, especially when you are feeling lost and unmotivated.

Finding the beauty in the hard moments of life – we all experience challenges, but it is the ups and downs of life and the fact that it’s multifaceted that makes it so beautiful and rich. Sometimes the things we value the most and life’s biggest successes come from the challenges we’ve overcome and the sacrifices we’ve endured to get there.
