When you don't believe in yourself, every little thing in your way seems like a huge, insurmountable obstacle.
When you do believe in yourself, huge insurmountable obstacles turn into tiny pebbles that you just kick out of your way as you walk merrily along the path to your dream.
Believing in yourself is magic.
But, as you probably already know, getting there is complicated.
That's what this week's Creative Dream TV is all about:
Sweetie, you are enough, exactly as you are right here right now.
And your dreams are enough, exactly as they are right here right now.
And, the surprising secret: Settling into a place of already being enough actually helps you to bring bigger dreams to life (like magic!).
That's what this week's Creative Dream TV is all about.
Watch it now:
As I shared in the video, when we had our magical series of ENOUGHNESS tele-classes last weekend in the Creative Dream Circle, we had a lot of resistance to this idea (at first).
It can seem like settling into enoughness means you'll be settling in your life...and yet when you really explore enoughness and let it in actually the opposite happens.
"It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure." - Joseph Campbell
Obstacles and stumbles are super annoying!
They are also the means through which our dreams actually come true, so it's important to pay attention to them.? And that's what this week's Creative Dream TV is all about.
Watch it now:
Once you start really working with this and getting creative about how you handle the obstacles - miracles will start to happen.
Inside the Creative Dream Circle, I show you everything you need to know about transforming obstacles into fuel for you dreams.
The problem is that CreativeSpiritual people shut off their genius when it comes to money.
Admit it, you do this.
So, before your creative dreams can pay the bills, you have to re-route a path in your brain - from your genius, to your money.
I promise: This is not anywhere near as complicated or weird as it sounds.
In this episode of Creative Dream TV I talk about a whole bunch of questions I got from Creative Dream TV fans, about creative dreams and money.
And I and share a crazy-magic transformational tool that helps no matter what your specific struggle with money looks like - a tool that helps you to start to re-route a path in your brain - from your genius, to your money.
Watch it now:
So let's get your creative genius flowing when it comes to money.
Your dream wants to pay your bills!
My Creative With Money class is now available for free when you join Dream Book.
Most creative people have a hard time asking for what their work is worth.
This week's Creative Dream TV question:
"I'm a freelance editor who often works directly with writers. My?clientele?(writers) are notoriously poor! I feel the service I provide is valuable, but I feel guilty charging what I think I should be earning because I know that so many of my clients will struggle to find the money. What should I do? Should I try to find a different clientele??
How can I find the balance between what my clients can pay and what I need to earn?"
In this situation, we have a creative person working with creative people so it's compounded.? But what's happening beneath the surface is what's happening with a lot of creative people:? getting all twisted up when it comes to asking for money for our work - enough money so we can live comfortably.
Watch the episode now:
(Yes, I am wearing my new sovereignty crown!)
Creative WITH Money!
Creative people struggle with money so much because we don't use our creative gifts and strengths when we deal with money.
Admit it - you shut off your brilliant creative genius when it comes to money.
It's time to stop doing that.
(Creative with Money, along with allllll of my other courses, is only available inside the Creative Dream Circle.)
This Creative Dream Question: How do I discern?if I am choosing a dream because it truly is aligned to my soul's purpose, or if I am choosing a dream because I am operating out of fear?
If you are:
confused about what your purpose is
confused about your dream is
struggling to bring your dreams to life

This week's question is from a Creative Dreamer who has been doing free, in-person art + yoga workshops and wants to know how to transition to a paid, online art + yoga community.
This week's question is from a Creative Dreamer on a fixed income who cannot afford the kinds of programs that would give her the kind of support and tools she needs to bring her dreams to life.
Even if you can afford the support you need, most of us do find ourselves in a situation when we think something has to change before we can have what we want.
The important thing to know about this is that there is always a way to move forward now.
And that is what this week's episode of Creative Dream TV is all about:
In this video I dive into a question I received from Louise, a lovely portrait artist who has:
lost all confidence in her artwork
has a belief that she can't shake off that she can't support herself with her dream
And so she feels frozen and unsure about how to move forward with her dreams.
We've all felt this way.
We've all felt like we can't have what we really want, like we don't deserve it and it will just never happen.
Learning how to deal with this stuff is your Most Important Work, when it comes to bringing your dreams to life.

I know that sounds crazy but it absolutely works. You have the power to shift this stuff, you just need the right tools.Click here to join the Circle today.
I also mentioned the "Top Posts For When Things Suck", here they are :
The reason why you think you're not getting started is not (usually) the real reason. Understanding why it's so hard to get started helps you find a way around the obstacle.
