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.

Wednesday Sep 08, 2021
Wednesday Sep 08, 2021
We talked about so much : being pioneers, adventure, fear... This quote, " You hold the wand", came with the thinking that it is all about creating our life... It is about owning and being 100% in charge of yourself.
Imagine a world without gatekeepers and censorship. This is what inspired Adriana Monique Alvarez to start AMA Publishing and train a global network of female owned publishing houses.
She’s a USA Today bestselling author and has been seen in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Huffington Post, International Living, America Daily Post, London Daily Post, and Grit Daily.

Creative Conversations Explores Releasing Your Inner Hippie
Wednesday Sep 08, 2021
Wednesday Sep 08, 2021
We know this but it does not come easy to many. Silke Harvey and I talked about so much but this quote resonated: " It is OK to say NO". We so often stay in a place of fear where we just say yes thinking of who we might disappoint, are we worthy.. blah, blah, blah

She uses her energy healing skills to help women release their Inner Hippie, that carefree teenage feeling before life got serious, and her translating and editing skills and passion for books to publish powerful stories of inspiring women.
In the past, she toured all over the UK and Europe as a bass player in various Rock’n’Roll bands, ran an indie record label and developed a successful career in financial translation working for one of the Big Four, then freelancing it.
Silke lives in the UK with her husband and beloved rescue dog and splits her time between her cosy home near the coast and her beautiful country cottage in Bulgaria where she is planning to run retreats.

These twin sisters are a powerhouse in their mission and what they put out into the world!
We talked about so much but love the topic of as adults we get so stuck in the adulting and put off what we really want by using life events to put off what we really want to do.
When we grow up we tend to stop playing.. so here is the reminder that Jacqueline McGill and Lorna Davies and I had about finding joy in the everyday things.
Love the quote from Jacqueline saying " Don't wait till the dishes are done" & Lorna: " Change is Inevitable".
Lorna and Jac are twin sisters who have between them over 40 years’ experience working with children and their families. They share a passion for supporting all children to reach their fullest potential by harnessing their unique and special gifts. They have combined their knowledge, skills and expertise to create this special library of mindset books for parents and a coaching curriculum for teachers to share, so all children can be Wise for my Size.
Lorna is a children’s occupational therapist and life coach; she lives with her family and her dog in the west coast of Scotland. Through her work, and as a mother of two children, Lorna became aware of the importance of mindset when children face adversity and challenge; it’s the key ingredient to success. As an occupational therapist Lorna works with the medium of play and fun as the principal ‘occupation’ of childhood, and this led very naturally to developing a programme that uses stories, games and activities to teach valuable life skills to children and those young at heart.
Jac is a primary school teacher of twenty years and lives in Scotland with her family and mini Zoo! She has witnessed first-hand the impact that Mindset, both Growth and Fixed, can have. Through her teaching experience, she saw that some children just believe that certain lessons are just ‘not’ for them and they give up before they even begin.
By using growth mindset coaching techniques Jac is able to support children to realise their true potential, just by helping them change their mindset. Jac has always loved writing stories and she is passionate about supporting children build their mental strength through storytelling.

Creative Conversations Explores How Yoga Strengthens From The Inside Out
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
Tuesday Aug 24, 2021
Ok so all you need is 10 minutes at your desk for some stretching and re-energizing your mind and body...
This is one of the many things that Megan Nolan does, Yoga at your desk. We can all spare 10 minutes really...
This quote , " Don't Should All Over Yourself", was inspired from the belief of not dying with the music inside.. It is our responsibility to shine our light and truly live without regrets.
Megan helps purpose driven entrepreneurs use their Yoga practice to clear away the clouds of self doubt, activate more confidence, courage, and strength from the inside out.
By giving them the tools they need to thrive she helps them to fully embody and become the version of themselves that their business needs them to be so they can make the impact and income they are destined for.

Tuesday Aug 03, 2021
Tuesday Aug 03, 2021
So great to talk to Valerie Slott in this space. We have. known each other for awhile but got a much deeper dive into knowing who she really is and what lights her up. She approaches life with such joy in all aspects of what she does. We talked about travel, tie dying, ice cream and so much more..
I always pull a quote from our conversation and this is hers, " Creativity is approaching things with an open mind and heart".
Val wakes up each morning thankful for another day. She has love in her life, work that brings her joy, and many opportunities to be creative. Val is an elementary school counselor and the tie-dye part of the women's art collective We Tie-Dye and More.
She delights in sharing what she loves whether mentoring future school counselors or hosting tie-dye adventures, or spreading out her bead collection on the dining room table and inviting others to create.
Val loves adding color and spreading joy. She also loves ice cream!
