  • Creative Momentum: Finding your way through the Messy Middle

    Creative Momentum: Finding your way through the Messy Middle
    Mar 8 2024

    Let's delve into the 'messy middle' of creative projects! Join Beth and me (Nicola) as we discuss our personal experiences and strategies to push forward. We delve into self-awareness including understanding one's own personality traits and energies which helps in personalising the creative process. Beth explains how having a clear vision of the final outcome can keep you motivated. We emphasize the importance of setting boundaries and prioritising the creative process. We also discuss the significance of remaining flexible and adaptive, and how sideways movement can be an integral part of the process, with challenges overcome often leading to substantial periods of rapid progress. Other aspects covered are the importance of self-compassion, embracing a sense of safety, understanding life circumstances, celebrating small wins, and wisely investing in skills and supplies that make the process easier.

    We are also thrilled and excited to announce "The Art of Creative Living" podcast has been selected by Feedspot as one of the Top 20 Australia Creativity Podcasts on the web.

  • ‘Stay On The Boat’: Navigating Solitude & Loneliness in our Creative Lives

    ‘Stay On The Boat’: Navigating Solitude & Loneliness in our Creative Lives
    Jan 22 2024

    Join Nicola Newman & Beth Cregan for a meaningful conversation about the nature and importance of solitude, loneliness, and the creative process. Through the lens of Nic's sailing life, we explore the intricate balance between solitude and the potential for loneliness that creatives often encounter with their work.

    We delve into some of the struggles that are integral to our creative lives - from confronting the omnipresent fear of failure to navigating uncertainty without a roadmap!

    Yet, amidst these challenges, we discover that staying connected to ourselves and our work fosters self-trust, stamina and authenticity. This discussion is a compassionate guide for creatives facing the challenges that arise in the creative process.
