But it can also be a new business, a new way of approaching old problems (like methods or processes), or even fusing cuisine together.Tune in to hear the rest of the conversation!Follow us on Instagram: @creativeeditionpodcast Follow Emma on Instagram: @emmasedition | Pinterest: @emmaseditionAnd sign up for our email newsletter.

The purpose of the Creative Reflection Series is to help you take the time to think and reflect about your creative career, passions, side-hustles, etc. so far. Personally, I’ve found the next step in my creative career when I’ve taken the time to reflect. I’ve also found that I’ve accomplished more than I realized when I’ve taken the time to think about how I’ve grown or am growing as a creator.So, if you feel like you’re ready for the next step in your creative pursuits or you’re feeling stuck and not sure where to turn next, this series is for you. I hope the different questions and exercises in the next few weeks help you find your next step or help you recognize how you’ve grown as a creator. Today, we’re going to be asking you the question: “are you giving yourself permission to evolve?”I wanted to start the series off with this question because evolving as a creator is almost inevitable. And if we feel like we aren’t evolving or moving forward, we might be feeling stuck. We might need to change up our routine, approach our processes differently, or maybe even try a completely different platform. So today’s conversation has three main parts:We’ll be chatting about ways you might want to evolve as a creator. Next, we’ll be discussing how you can give yourself permission to evolve.Lastly, I’ll be sharing a few ways I’ve evolved as a creator over the last few years.Tune in for the rest of the episode!Follow us on Instagram: @creativeeditionpodcast Follow Emma on Instagram: @emmasedition | Pinterest: @emmaseditionAnd sign up for our email newsletter.

Today, I’ll be chatting about a few ways that help me stay motivated as a content creator. Currently, I’m experiencing a new season life – I’m currently in my third trimester of pregnancy and creating content + maintaining a schedule + staying motivated has looked different for me. So, I hope chatting about how I stay motivated today helps give your ideas on you can also stay motivated with your side-hustle or passions, regardless of what life stage or transition you’re in.  I revisit my goals often. If you listen to the podcast or follow me on social media, you know that I’m a goal-oriented person. I love outlining my goals every year and laying out my to-do list daily. Tip: if you’re looking to revisit your goals, I recommend writing and keeping your goals in a place (your planner, word document, blog post, etc.) you can revisit them often. Follow us on Instagram: @creativeeditionpodcast Follow Emma on Instagram: @emmasedition | Pinterest: @emmaseditionAnd sign up for our email newsletter.
