Episode notes

If you feel creatively blocked or deprived, this episode may inspire you to take stock and chase your creative desires. Choosing to leave your lucrative banking career to follow your dream at drama school, alongside having two small children, seems pretty crazy but for Esther Wane it was the best thing she ever did.
ย 
Creativity can be hard to identify with, or at times feel way out of reach. Today's guest, creative coach and storyteller, Esther Wane helps to unlock that sense of creation and purpose within people.

Esther's soul searching began following a difficult emotional time after having her children and leaving her corporate job. She then began following her own purpose and training as an actor after leaving her corporate career gave Esther what her daughter described as a "glow-up".

During this episode, Kate and Esther talk more about:

๐Ÿ”‘ It's about those small choices you make to reach your purpose
๐Ÿ”‘ Ask what do I want to do next?
๐Ÿ”‘ Giving up self-doubt for over a year - and how that led her to a successful blog
๐Ÿ”‘ The harder and darker experiences of motherhood
๐Ÿ”‘ The concept of "The Creative Heroโ€™s Journey"
๐Ÿ”‘ Living life as your heroic self and moving past obstacles that prevent you fromย  ย  ย  living a life more aligned to a purpose
๐Ÿ”‘ How we grow and learn as humans in small yet monumental ways
๐Ÿ”‘ Allowing creativity to flow in all areas of your life - not just through art
๐Ÿ”‘ How creativity pops in when we have quieter minds, such as driving or in the shower - notice these moments
๐Ÿ”‘ If we stop for long enough, we do know more than we think - we don't need to know the whole journey, just the next step
๐Ÿ”‘ The joy is in the process and making conscious choices along the way
๐Ÿ”‘ Living authentically can make the process fun, without always focussing on the outcome
๐Ÿ”‘ Learning on the job, honing in on the joy and the 'why' and trying not to focus on the howย 
๐Ÿ”‘ Notice who and what inspires you
๐Ÿ”‘ Gratitude and what genuinely matters to us
๐Ÿ”‘ Use your vision board with intent, but without specifics
๐Ÿ”‘ Using meditation, however that looks like to you
