S4. EP. 72 - I Didn't Know A Creative Process Could Change

In this solo episode, I’m unpacking the evolution of my creative process, the shifts, the resistance, the momentum, and the deep inner work that’s happening behind the scenes. Lately, I’ve been feeling this pull to create differently and with more intention and more effort. Not forced effort and reluctance, but chosen effort and excitement. The kind that is sharpening my skills, expands my capacity, and reconnects me to the reason I started creating in the first place.I talk about my childhood and my first experience with creativity, the pressure to always be “good,” the difference between studying vs. improvising, and how abundance can actually make you less creative if you’re not paying attention. I get into why effort matters, how momentum is built, and why people who are wildly successful often are the ones who mix talent with consistent effort.This episode is a deep dive into my own creative mindset shift for anyone who’s navigating a creative transition, feeling stuck, or craving a deeper relationship with their own voice. If you’ve been asking yourself what's next creatively, you may find resonance with where I am. Welcome to It Takes A Village with Delina Medhin, where inspiring founders & creatives share ‘who I built this with.’ Have you ever asked yourself… “how can I be happier, healthier, peaceful, famous, powerful, or successful?” When you want change, your life will shift, you let go, and begin to trust other people.

Awareness is life’s balancing tool, and you are in the right place at the right time, always.00:00 Nostalgic Beginnings: The Donkey Kong Challenge00:47 Welcome to 'It Takes a Village'03:35 Creativity and the Creative Process10:51 Effort vs. Effortless Creativity13:55 The Michael Jordan of Creativity15:42 Reflecting on Creative Effort24:29 Final Thoughts and Listener EngagementConnect with Delina: ⁠Instagram https://www.instagram.com/delinamedhin  TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@delinamedhin  ⁠YouTube https://www.youtube.com/delinamedhin  Threads http://threads.net/@delinamedhin   Website ⁠www.delinamedhin.com Get the Build Your Village Video eBook here: https://stan.store/delinamedhin/p/build-your-village-ebook  Join my newsletter, This Made Me Think Of You: http://www.delinamedhin.com
