Stop Making Excuses: Embrace Your Creative Journey with Nicole Meier

Episode Overview

  • Creativity is essential for reclaiming your voice.
  • Overcoming resistance is key to pursuing dreams.
  • Community support is vital for creative success.
  • Transformation requires prioritising what matters.
  • Find joy in small moments during creative journeys.
Resistance shows up as procrastination. It's an excuse.
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this episode of Cracking Open, Molly Carroll welcomes her dear friend Nicole Meier, a certified book coach and author of four novels. The duo dives into the idea that creativity isn't just a luxury but a necessity for reclaiming one's voice amidst life's chaos.
Nicole shares her journey from being a busy mum to a published author, proving that transformation is possible when we stop making excuses and start prioritising what truly matters. Nicole's story is one of perseverance and courage, having written her debut novel while juggling the demands of motherhood and caring for her father. Her insights into overcoming resistance offer a fresh perspective for anyone holding onto a dream they've been too afraid to pursue.
She challenges the common excuses that prevent us from following our creative paths and encourages listeners to give themselves permission to chase their dreams. The conversation is filled with humour and honesty, as Nicole and Molly discuss the importance of community and support in creative endeavours. They share personal anecdotes about their own struggles with resistance and the importance of finding joy in small moments, like a good cup of coffee or a piece of chocolate.
This episode is a reminder that even in the toughest times, there's light to be found in creativity and connection. So, whether you're looking for inspiration or just need a nudge to take that first step, this chat is sure to leave you feeling ready to make lemonade out of life's lemons.
