Tell The Truth, No Matter What!

WARNING: This is way harder than you think. 

I’m working on it every day and I’ve got a long way to go. 

There are many reasons that make it difficult to tell the truth no matter what. Here’s are a few…

  1. You have to know the truth, which requires a deep-dive into your own heart and soul.

  2. The truth might upset people, which can be really hard if you are a people-pleaser like me.

  3. And most importantly, it’s super freaking easy to lie to ourselves. We are masters at this.

In this video, I share why I believe telling the truth no matter what is actually a SUPERPOWER and one of the most important things we can do as creators, artists and humans who want to live fully expressed lives. 

Big love, ⁣⁣

What's More Important Than Talent?

When it comes to creativity, talent is not as important as you think. Because sooner or later, something will get in the way of creating or expressing yourself in an authentic and exciting way. This is inevitable.

And the longer you do something, the more of these challenges you will encounter. If you're not ready or prepared for the bumps along the way, they will take the wind out of your sails and sometimes even knock you out of the game for good.

What you need is RESILIENCE.

It’s been a journey since my first business failures in my early 20's; I've learned a ton of lessons along the way, but especially lessons on how to build resilience as an entrepreneur and artist. In this video, I share three of my favourite and most effective tips—clear and actionable things you can start today— on how to build your resilience.

Let me know what you think about these tips or if you have any I didn’t include—I would love to hear them!
