In this mini episode, we reflect on our progress with the creative goals you set at the beginning of the year. We discuss the common challenges of procrastination and hesitation while offering practical strategies to overcome these barriers and reconnect with creative intentions.

• Take time to honestly assess your progress on goals set earlier in the year

• Recognize that people approach their creative journeys differently - some change directions like rivers, others face procrastination

• Transform obligation into joy by infusing your creative journey with playfulness

• Consider seeking accountability partners to witness your struggles and celebrate victories

• Remember that these challenges are universal - even the host creates these episodes based on her own struggles

"We are not our delays, nor are we our detours. Some of us manifest our intentions with natural grace, and other people they discover that certain goals like jumping from great heights don't really align with their inner, their deeper wisdom."
