Episode 5: How Creativity Can Be the Key to Unlock Limitless Joy with Kate Volman
I hate to say it, but I’ll say it. We live in a world where passion and creativity are often sidelined because tenacity in the workplace is rewarded instead. We’re so used to killing ourselves at work so we can stay ahead - or even just to keep afloat - and in the process, we neglect our inner child and are unable to tap into the ability to dream, imagine, build and express.
This week, my good friend Kate Volmon joins me on the show and shares some sacred thoughts we should all keep in mind:
We are all creative. We are all artists. We are all meant to create.
So it is not a question of if, but how and when. As Kate shares, that creativity is inside all of us, ready to be unleashed for the world to witness. And this artistry can be in the form of a painting or digital art. It could be a song you’ve composed based on something you’ve experienced in the past. It could be a book chronicling some of your most insightful discoveries that so many others can learn from. Or it could even be a podcast like this that evokes a strong sense of calling to live a life of joy, freedom and peace.
This episode is filled with Kate’s life-changing experiences and nuggets of wisdom about awakening the inner creatives within us. While igniting our creativity may not always come naturally, we need to tap into the elements that bring our inner creatives to life. Join us and be inspired to let your creativity guide you down the path to limitless joy and a deep sense of empowerment.
