The Creative Impostor

"Even with limited resources, we really are in a position where we have the power to make positive change in the world around us." ~Andrea Klunder, regarding a service project in El Salvador Post-Thanksgiving, are you still flexing that "gratitude muscle" or are you all thankful-ed out? This episode is inspired by my conversation with Kathryn Pisco of Unearth the World in Episode #8. Check out Kathryn's company, Unearth the World, here! Facebook * Twitter * LinkedIn * Periscope * Instagram * Tumblr "When I can disconnect from all of these modern day technological trappings, I feel so much MORE connected to my own internal wisdom, to my own internal sense of purpose." ~Andrea Klunder, reflecting on being on retreat in the Costa Rican rain forest Editing my episode with Kathryn inspired me to reflect upon my own travel experiences and how each one has uniquely directed, altered, or inspired the course of my life. I think traveling, especially internationally, and even more specifically to developing countries, gives us the following gifts: Resourcefulness — to come face to face with our own inner strength, wits and courage when being catapulted out of the comfort zone and into the unknown, Perspective — to take a deep breath, see the bigger picture, and make more skillful choices in the present to navigate our future, Compassion — a genuine desire to be of service in our communities near and far, Gratitude — to recognize both the abundance and the opportunities for growth in our own lives. "It is key for you as a creative individual to experience things that are outside of your daily reality, to take yourself outside of the habits that you have, out of your known environment, out of your comfort zone to explore new ways of being." ~Andrea Klunder Show Notes Galore: http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com Magic Page!

Impostor syndrome. How does it show up for you – self-doubt, hesitation, procrastination, perfectionism, comparison, competition? Or a little gremlin voice in your head that says, "Who do you think you are? You can't do THAT!" The truth is you have something to share with the world — I just know it! And you know it too, but that gremlin voice keeps you playing small. It's trying to protect you from the risk of sharing your unique gifts with the world. This podcast exists (despite all of my impostor gremlin's very best efforts) precisely to help you be bold, take action and trust your vision. So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!
