You know that feeling when you have a job that you’re great at?One where you’ve been training and failing and investing years of time and energy and lessons into building a career for the rest of your life?But then one day you realize that this job and life you’ve earned doesn’t actually fulfill you like you thought it would.But you’ve worked so hard for so long to get there, so you stay hoping things will change.And then life starts to lose its color.The job loses its meaning, and overwhelm sets in as you realize, oh shit, I don’t know what to do. I might be lost.How do you get back your color when you’re stuck in the grey?If you’ve been listening, you know that my favorite answer to that, is through art.Through finding your voice, expressing it, and embracing every step and misstep of your journey.Today we’re speaking to a dear friend of mine, Julianne Kanzaki, about the practical, and very applicable steps she took when she reazlied her life was losing its color.We talk about exactly what she did to to get more in touch with herself and her inner voice so that she could design a life and career using all of the parts that make up her essence.Other topics we cover in this episode include:Original poems by Julianne that helped her to navigate the uncertainty of the next step in her life and career.The 100 Day Project and how leaning into her creativity and how that improved her relationship with her intuitionhow TV and smart phones are preventing beautiful art from being createdan introvert’s creative process and the life-changing power of having Morning Pages in her morning ritualHow Julianne defines intuition and how she listens to itwhat kind of diet fuels creativity the best?what food obstacles do her patients have a hard time overcoming?and much more!________________________________________________________Julianne Kanzaki is an artist, registered dietitian, and health coach.
