Paralyzed by overwhelm
Jan 07, 2021
The Scream dude is the absolute perfect image of the way I have felt this week.
My thinking has been in like a slow motion tangled web of "oh noooooo" everywhere I turn.
This first full week back to biz has been skittish at...

"Mirror mirror on the wall..."
I decided to attempt some #fungshui in the office this week, putting a mirror reflecting my desk/work area. Not so sure I'm exactly nailing the principles, but I do like that my mirror is talking nice to...
You're a creative pro, not a screwdriver
Dec 15, 2020
You've invested so much time and effort honing your creative skills, then comes along a client who either thinks they don't need any of that and just want you to execute their {ahem} ugly vision, or they are micromanaging the process.
...
Which matters more: how valuable you feel or what they think of it?

I recently heard a comparison of having a life coach being like paying for a "professional friend". Your coach certainly can become your friend, the value you would expect them to bring to the table... we'll this comparison...
There are no broken parts to "fix" on you
Sep 15, 2020
Guess what?
There is nothing "wrong" with you.
