Find Yourself, Take Up Space & Discover Your Funny w/ Caroline Stokes! Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Caroline Stokes is a comedian, dancer, visual artist, musician and self-expression expert and I am so thrilled to have her on Unleash Your Inner Creative. She’s best known for getting featured on CTV National News, for a wild and hilarious video collaboration she did with THE Bill Murray as her character, Doug Carl and her Caroline side-by-side posts she does on instagram and tiktok where she comedically dances next to everything and everyone ranging from John Travolta dancing in short shorts to a parakeet with a sexy strut.

I wanted to have Caroline on the show because she is fully herself in all she does - and it is that very reason that I believe she is so successful as a comedian and performer. Ever since she really embraced her full self and followed her job, she has been blowing up on social media- climbing by the thousands each week. She is a great example for all of us of the magic that can happen when we own every piece of ourselves - the beautiful, the sexy, the hilarious, the awkward and the mess- that it’s all us, and when we integrate all those pieces, It’s only then and only then, that we can truly unleash our inner creative. She is also a listener of the show, which makes her success that much more meaningful.

From this conversation you’ll learn:

How to find yourself through movement
Own your sensuality
How to release familial judgement
Her tips to take fear out of the driver’s seat
Reward yourself for small wins
The power of saying what you want out loud
How to find your funny
How she got the idea for her viral instagram and tik tok seires
How she and Bill Murray became friends on an international flight. Now here she is, Caroline Stokes!
