I Am Creative with Hollis Citron
These conversations are to be a safe space to create connection, share stories, foster self expression and feel empowered! Creativity goes beyond the pencil and the brush. Creativity is your unique and original exploration, expansion, expression of your imagination. Even if you are not “an artist”, you are creative. You are creative because you are the only person that can add your gifts to the things that you create. You are creative because only you can express your ideas and greatness with the world.

We bring ourselves into each event with all of our experiences and perspectives. Love this quote, one of many from our conversation, " Everything & anything you have is you, triggered or accelerated".
Have to have a listen ... we laughed a lot and talked about serious stuff...
Thanks Wendy J Olson for the conversation.

Through Grit plus Gumption she serves survivors of sexual exploitation and domestic violence. Having applied all she teaches to her own life as a survivor herself, she is able to guide women with kindness and grace, showing them there is always more freedom to be had in one’s life.
She believes everyone has a story, and even if that story is really hard, it doesn't mean the rest of the story has to be.

Talk about making your vision come to life, it can take time and it is so worth it! Love this quote that Reid Simkovitz said, " Small attainable goals". creativity is when are creating something to its fullest potential. You cannot go from A to Z... The small attainable goals make it manageable and possible.
In 2016, Reid Simkovitz had a vision for the future of shaving: people would be able to shave the back of their necks in their own. After launching the Scruffie four years later, he posted a series of viral TikTok videos, which ultimately led to more people buying the product for their legs.
Today, the Scruffie is available worldwide and Reid continues to promote his innovative razor across social media.

One of the quotes that really jumped out during our conversation was, " Time is a boundary". We create this... As Tammy Collins says, true creativity is the ability to remove boundaries... just breathe that in!

Once she stopped looking outward, it surfaced in an unexpected way. Now she uses her education and real boots on the ground experience with a system that helps businesses and entrepreneurs turn ideas into a profitable reality.
She’s a consultant and mentor with clients around the world for all things branding, marketing, and social media. As well as helping people uncover passion, clarify purpose, and build a Passion Conquest Map to L.I.V.E. Your Passion. So they can live a thriving passionate life.
