You are a creative soul, and you know this about yourself – you’ve heard the whisper of that inner voice confirming it!
Now it’s time to amplify that voice and let it take up space in your life.
In this space, you embrace your creative identity, make time and space for inspiration, and give yourself permission to explore what creativity means to you.
For those of us used to being busy or burnt out, this can feel like a monumental task – but it doesn’t have to be.
So, what do you need most to make space for your creativity to come through?
📃Permission slips
We often see creative pursuits as optional (or even frivolous), but I would argue they’re vital to our wellbeing, both individually and collectively.
You don’t need anyone’s permission to prioritize creativity in your life… Except your own. But if you could use a little encouragement anyways, these posts are for you!

I often talk about making space in the figurative sense, but this is where we get literal.

🗺️What to make
One of the most common burnt-out creative soul problems I hear is this:
I want to be creative. I wish I had a hobby or a project or something! I just have no idea what to do or where to start.
Reconnecting with yourself is a wonderful start. But if you want a more active approach to finding a creative outlet, here’s some inspiration:

Speaking of bullet journaling…
📖Bullet journaling for busy creatives
I started this series because bullet journaling has had such a huge impact on my life.
