Kristin Sweeting is a wedding photographer + biz coach for creative people whose work has been featured in People, Brides, and much more. She's the host of the Dangerous Creatives podcast + offers a mastermind and Study Abroad trips for photographers to help them create aligned businesses that prioritize rest. I got to talk to her while she is on summer sabbatical, so we talked details about how to make a sabbatical happen, her story and how she found herself in a position of needing to make serious $ from her photography after becoming a single parent, she breaks down the surprising things she did to move the needle there and she also breaks down her strategies for building multiple streams of revenue and exactly where to start.

The mundane can be flattening, don'tcha think?
I've been thinking about being tired vs. being uninspired, because a lot of times I will go into a creative process and feel tired, and have lots of other things weighing on my mind.
But once I'm there, I feel on fire, and in flow, time and space collapse.
I'm having so much fun, I'm challenged but I'm also up to the challenge. I'm dancing in that magic space between mastery and mystery. In today's episode, we'll explore the tension between creativity and the mundane. When we prioritize inspiration in our lives, we can trust the process a little better and move our creative work forward. Shortening the creative cycle so that we can find a spark and follow it up with action.

Writing is sovereignty. When we wrap language around our experiences, we get juiced with power. So why do we have so much resistance? Should we aim to change the world with our creative work? How can you make a living as an artist without giving yourself over to what other people want? Joy gives sound advice on these questions as well as how to get started with writing, how to follow your creative intuition, what audiences want to read, and the many iterations of her creative business.

A creative life consists of an array of moving parts, and we can often get lost in the weeds and forget the VERY most important thing in creativity. It's deceptively simple: do the work. Make the creations. CREATE.
And yet, there are so many ways we mess this up and get it wrong.

Creativity is a sensitive biz to be in. Sometimes we expect too much of ourselves and expect this insane amount of unrealistically fab output and the truth is we are human and also often sensitive as artists and sometimes you just feel off–and yet, it's not always practical to cancel everything when you feel this way, so what can you do? Walk through with gentle awareness. Today's meditation will help you do just that.

Description:
Every time I ask what you're struggling with related to your creativity, confidence comes up. But WHY do we need confidence? Sure, it can be helpful, but when it's elusive, a lot of creators have shame about their lack of confidence- which just creates a bigger downward spiral. When you sign up for a creative life, you're signing up for a rollercoaster of emotions, but the reward on the other side far outweighs the humiliation, fear, or failure: you get alignment, a sense of contribution and wholeness, a beautiful flow knowing you are giving your gifts away and being used for something greater than yourself. Tune in for stories of unexpected ways to build your confidence and what to focus on instead when you can't bring yourself to believe in yourself.
