Wow. There was so much that I took away from this episode, I'm definitely going to go back for a re-listen. But the thing I'm taking most away from it is that I feel my own self-belief bolstered by your response and empowered to find my own way back to the heart of my own work. I've been in my business for over a decade and while my passion for the subject is still there big time (helping people heal their relationship to body image and photos) but a combo of burnout and now being a parent has me feeling like I've lost momentum too. I'm noticing that I feel like I've been trying to create from the 'outside in' and all the things I feel like I 'should' do and in this moment after just finishing this episode I feel reminded to create and connect with my work and my audience from the inside out.

‘Should’ energy is such a warning sign, isn’t it? As soon as we’re doing things because we ‘should’ it’s hard to access any natural enthusiasm or passion. Sometimes it just takes a mindset shift, and remembering that we’re actually choosing this thing (my fave example is paying our taxes. We *could* choose not to, and go to prison, but we like being free so we choose to pay them 😆). But sometimes it’s a genuine disconnect and shows us we’re doing exactly what you say - creating from the outside in. I love that way of putting it ❤️
