Your Creative Gift Is More Powerful Than You Think

Hey, hello there, friend!

When I wrote the very first version of my book Decoding the Flow, I carried a dream: to see a world where people actually spend their lives doing what they love. Can you even imagine it? A society where joy, passion, and creative gifts are not the exception, but the norm.

The truth is, most people don’t even know what they love to do. We get caught up in the “shoulds,” the practical checklists, the secure path that keeps us safe but often leaves us empty. Do you know someone with a “stable job” who secretly dreams of opening their own small business? Or someone who’s waiting for the perfect time to follow their dream? We all do.

But here’s the secret: there will never be a perfect time. What exists instead is the right consciousness, the awareness that anything is possible, that you can figure it out as you go, that flow reveals the next step when you choose to trust it.

What I Call Creative Consciousness

This is what I mean by creative consciousness. It’s not about quitting your job tomorrow or diving headfirst into a “dream career” without a plan. It goes much deeper. It’s about recognizing that we are each born with unique gifts that only you can express.

And the way we notice those gifts? By paying attention. To what comes naturally. To what makes us feel alive. To those small chills of joy when we help someone, or the glow in your family’s eyes when they taste the meal you poured your love into, the excitement of new discoveries from a book you loved. Those moments are not random. They are your body’s way of saying: this matters, follow this path. They are a roadmap to your soul’s destiny.

The goal isn’t to annihilate the material nature of our lives, but to transcend its limitations by becoming conscious of our spiritual self. When we align with that truth, our thoughts, emotions, and actions become harmonious, loving, and purposeful (remember this:TRUTH feels good, period). Life stops being a battlefield of inner conflict and becomes a flow of peace, creativity, and connection.

Decoding the Flow Podcast

This vision, of living by our creative gifts and raising collective consciousness, is exactly why I’m launching the Decoding the Flow Podcast. It will be a space where artists, collectors, and creative leaders come together to share stories, lessons, and sparks of truth.

Because creativity is not just what we make. It’s how we live.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The Decoding the Flow Podcast launches October 1, 2025.

A 3-Step Guide to Help You Figure Out What You Love

If you’re still wondering what your unique gifts are, here are three simple places to start:

1. Ask yourself what you’re known for by your friends and family. Are you the cook, the florist, the problem-solver, the art-collector, the travel planner, the one who nails every summer activity with the kids? Start there.

2. Notice what comes naturally to you. What feels like second nature, something you could do without overthinking?

3. Check your Google searches. What are you secretly curious about when no one’s watching?

   
   

I hope this helps you take a step closer to what you love, because I truly believe that’s where flow begins.

Color Your Life!
