Episode 23 – Creating Without Limits and Going Beyond What We Know

Are you a creator who’s getting hung up in worry about the unknowns? Do statements like “I don’t know exactly what it’s going to look like” or “I don’t know what to call it” or “I can’t see it clearly yet” stop you from exploring what else is possible?

Follow along as Nanette invites you to check-in with yourself and affirm that being willing to see the next step and to take it is all that you need! Let your curiosity be the fuel that ignites all the possibilities of expanded expression.

What does it look like to choose to be in your creative life in every moment? Wonder with Nanette as she shares how a dinnertime conversation became the content of this episode. What do you think her Inner Critic had to say about that!

Is rambling on about flatbread and pizza enough to keep a podcast audience interested? You be the judge. Maybe your Inner Critic tries to stop you, too! Listen in as Nanette shares her delightful exploration of the innovation process through the lens of new cuisine. Will your questions lead you beyond what you know? Will you allow yourself to play in the possibilities?

EG (Elizabeth Gilbert) Quotes:

“Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.”

“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”

“Be the weirdo who dares to enjoy.”

“So this, I believe, is the central question on which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?
