Identity and Free Traits - The Building Blocks of Confidence?
How much of our identity is set and how much control do we really have over making changes to it? One of the questions I get asked most is "How do I become more confident?" and that's what I'd love to tackle in this episode where we delve a little into the neuro-science and psychology around identity. The notion of free traits and being able to develop these (just like a skill or a muscle) is not only empowering but gives us somewhere to START. The first Backstage cohort will be opening it's doors very soon. If you want to be the first to know...

Sensitive Creatives Can Do Hard Things
Have you ever felt that your sensitivity has held you back from pushing outside your comfort zone or embracing a challenge? I think this is a story that many creatives can relate to and one that is not doing us any favours. This episode is about chipping away at that belief, seeing the brilliance in your sensitivity and finding a more sustainable way to take the risks needed to live a big, beautiful, creative life.

I CAN Be Bothered
I think it is highly likely that we're dealing with an epidemic of the apathetic kind. That the phrase "I can't be bothered" or "I don't know if I can be bothered" is having an IT girl moment (and who can blame us with the state if the world right now?). But what is it costing us when it comes to the quality of our lives and the novelty, spontaneity and creativity that we crave?

Releasing the Identity of the "Hot Mess Creative"
Is there a part of you (like me) who believes that the free-spirited nature of an artist equals external chaos and an aversion to organisation and structure? If so, let’s unpack this a little because I realised that in clinging to this idea as part of my identity, it was creating an undercurrent of overwhelm (and I suspect that it could be doing so for you too). In this episode I share what I discovered about this resistance to being organised, the cost of that to my creativity and what I’m doing to steer myself in a new direction (that could be supportive for you too).
Being a creative and putting your art out into the world can be both exhilarating and terrifying.
The Moderately Tortured Artist is a podcast by coach Kimberley Smith that started as a show for musicians and has now taken on a life of its own.
It's for any creative who has ever considered giving up. Any artist who has felt it is too hard, encountered too much rejection or feels crippled by their perfectionism.
Part pep talk, part permission slip, this show is about helping you remember what matters most. The joy of creating something unique, the self expression and story you share with others and the elation you feel when it all just clicks.
Because as tough as it is, we couldn't imagine doing anything else.
