Welcome to another episode of Create Shift. In today’s solo episode I’m diving into the topic of procrastination. Is it a helpful part of the creative processes, a block to be battled through and overcome or perhaps neither of those?

It’s time for another episode of the Create Shift podcast!I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation with my guest Kimberly Kuniko (aka Lacelit). This is a beautiful conversation filled with magic all about creativity, the ‘rules’ around it and our mutual desire to abandon them. If you’re in a place where you feel your artistic identity is shifting, where you’re questioning if you’re allowed to do something - if you have the ‘right’ experience - this conversation will be like a magic balm for you. Kimberly Kuniko (she/her) is a mixed-race Nikkei American illustrator, collage + mixed media artist, and poet based in what is now known as Los Angeles, California (unceded Tongva land). Her Japanese roots inform her art through a love of paper, finding the connection between things, balancing delicate detail and texture, and layering stories together. She enjoys designing for her stationery brand Lacelit, hosting guided retreats for creatives of all mediums, and facilitating the Dream & Scheme Community for Small Business Owners.

It’s so easy to get caught in the ‘new year new you’ energy that society pushes on us. Easy to feel full of ‘shoulds’ and bad about not having started all the things yet. Here’s my alternative to all of that. A reminder that January is not nature’s new year, and it’s okay to (good, even) to take things slow.

In this episode of Create Shift I’m talking about the ‘other’ in our creative processes. Asking, who are we making our art for? When is this ‘other’ actually useful to think of, and when isn’t it? Often I find we can get caught up in thinking about this ‘other’ and it can become detrimental to our practice. Today I’m offering a few different ways to think about this, which may be helpful to explore.

My podcast Create Shift is back! Expect supportive and inspiring conversations at the intersection of creative and artistic practice, holistic wellbeing and entrepreneurship. I love sending audio notes to my coaching clients in our weekly check in spaces, and I’m always recording my own notes and ideas. So, getting back to the podcast was naturally a good idea.

Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.This episode is all about money and the myths and beliefs we hold onto around creatives and artists making money, asking for more money, doing well financially. It’s a bit of a rant as I feel really passionate about this. Also a note to clarify, I reference actors, directors and writers in film and TV being really well paid. The way I say it makes it sound like I think all of those people are well paid. What I meant is that there are some who are very highly paid. I just wanted to clarify that, as it felt important amidst all the strikes going on at the moment. At the end I mention my 1:1 coaching offer - save £300 on your coaching package when you book your curiosity call by Friday 8th September.

In this episode Emma talks to Ellen about how what we eat, and what we don’t eat can impact our ability to deal with stress and recover from burnout. As you’ll hear in the episode, this is a hefty topic with lots to cover. So, we’ve decided to make this a multi-episode interview with this being part 1. A little disclaimer - for some reason unknown to us Ellen’s voice has recorded with a helium effect (?!)

In this episode we’re talking about the number one thing to do if you want to be more productive. This may surprise you, and it certainly isn’t one of the productivity hacks or tips that are so often shared. What we’re talking about here is trust. We discuss how self-trust, and trust of those you work with is SO important and how not having trust can really undermine what we’re able to achieve. Whilst we aren’t on board the hustle culture train or placing productivity above all else, we are on board with making being productive when we need to be more easeful. We hope you find this episode supportive, encouraging and inspiring!

In this episode of Create Shift we’re discussing how important it is to acknowledge that as humans, we can’t be expected to be the same each day. It’s much better to practice meeting ourselves as we are each day, and this can help our interactions with other people too.

In today’s episode we discuss the notion of being in control, and the paradox that what’s helpful is working on controlling what you can control (usually yourself) and remembering that you can’t control anything else. We talk about how creating a sense of being in control of some things can be supportive for our nervous systems, and create a sense of resilience. We also chat about ways we practice identifying what we can and can’t control. We hope you find this episode supportive, encouraging and inspiring!

Today we're talking about ambition. A really important, and often sticky, topic when it comes to burnout recovery and moving out of the cycle of burnout. Inspired by what Jamie Varon writes in her book about no longer allowing her ambition to be bigger than her wellbeing, we're talking about letting go of ambitions when they're harmful to your wellbeing.

In this episode we share what that is, and how we realised that we'd not been in alignment with ourselves when we first put together our collaborative coaching package!

In this episode of Create Shift I talk to Misty Sansom, a life purpose coach all the way from New Zealand! Misty is a writer and life purpose coach who helps people to figure out exactly what they’re meant to do in life and how to make it happen.Her work has been featured on the Huffington Post, the Daily Guru and MindBodyGreen, and she teaches people how to find their purpose and bring it to life through her ebook, monthly membership and 1:1 coaching. We get deep into the topic of finding your life purpose, words that perhaps are heard a lot within the wellness and personal development space but often lack solidity. Misty's work is brilliant as she takes the concept and makes it very tangible, practical and actionable. In this episode she shares steps you can take and exercises to do to start uncovering your life purpose, and how to live it. I hope you enjoy this conversation, and find it supportive. Thanks for listening, Ellen xFull show notes available at being-change.com/finding-your-life-purpose Hosted on Acast.

I share my experience of wanting to create my own dosha quiz and feeling like I couldn't because I didn't have the relevant qualifications/experience (despite, in reality, having both). I discuss how the universe is singing with our dreams and desires (no matter how big or small they are), and explore how and why we prevent ourselves from pursuing these.

Oh hello! Welcome to another solo episode of Create Shift. Continuing on with the theme of routines I've been focusing on lately, in this episode I talk specifically about morning and evening routines. This short episode follows on nicely from s6,ep4 where I talk about using Ayurveda to schedule your day as in this episode I discuss the dominant doshas in the evening. As I mention in S6,ep3 on the Importance of Routine in Challenging Times I think I'm talking about routine so much at the moment because it's something we can have some control over. But if you're reading this and starting to feel bad because you have zero routine right now, please don't worry! The need for our routines to be flexible is a big thing I talk about in this episode, and a really key thing we need to remember. Our routines need to be part of our self-care, not a way we beat up on ourselves. So, I hope you find this short episode inspiring and supportive. Thanks for listening, Ellen xFull show notes for the episode including all links and resources mentioned can be found at being-change.com. Thank you for listening to Create Shift.

I was thrilled to interview Sara Tasker of Me&Orla for season 6 of the podcast. Sara has been a sort of mentor to me with my business, although we've never met. Reading about Sara's journey as a female entrepreneur establishing her business, then falling down a rabbit hole reading her blogs, opened my eyes to the possibility of being able to run the sort of business I wanted to create online. Something soft, supportive, nourishing and that would support me to lead the kind of life I wanted to lead- something very different to what we're so often told business is or should be. This is the kind of business Sara has created, and it's run in what I would call a feminine way. This is, along with how the Internet has created so many possibilities for female entrepreneurs, is what Sara and I discuss in this episode. To be clear, the way I'm defining feminine and masculine here is not the way we tend to in the West. It's more in line with Eastern philosophies, and the philosophy of Yoga. Feminine and masculine are viewed as energetic qualities, similar to the yin and yang, that both exist within each of us. You don't need to be female to work in a feminine way and vice-versa. It's important to understand this distinction before diving into the episode. As always, thank you for being here and I hope you enjoy listening to Create Shift S6,ep5 with the lovely Sara Tasker. Ellen xFind Sara online at meandorla.co.uk/ Instagram @me_and_orla Twitter @meandorlaFull show notes for this episode including all links and resources mentioned available at being-change.comThank you for listening to Create Shift.

Hello! Create Shift S6,ep4 is another short solo episode and something of a follow on from last episode 3 where I spoke about creating a daily routine. In this episode I talk about how we can use the wisdom of Ayurveda to help ourselves schedule our days and boost productivity. It's a pretty practical episode, that I hope offers a simple way to start brining Ayurvedic holistic living into your everyday. In it I share the times of day when each dosha - Vata, Pitta and Kapha - is most dominant and the best types of activity to do and avoid during those times to naturally boost your productivity. If you experiment with any of the suggestions in this episode I'd love to know how you get on! Thanks for listening, Ellen xFull show notes for this episode including all links and resources mentioned can be found here http://being-change.com/create-shift-s6-ep4-productivityThank you for listening to Create Shift.
