How Art lead me to my purpose!
In this episode, I interview Jabeen Qadri, founder of The Wishing Well. She is a self love and purpose coach.
Jabeen talks about her journey to pursuing a career with art and overcoming the fear that art could not provide a sustainable living.

Do you curate your persona the same way your curate your social media? In this episode, we talk about the damaging effects of how our egos can get in the way of actual growth.
When we are unable to detach the persona of ourselves from our real selves, it can lead to an internal battle within us leaving us wondering who are we really. This battle often leads to depression, relationship issues and inevitably stunts our growth as women. Let’s dive into understanding how our ego can be playing a tricky role in controlling our anxiety, mood and personal growth.

If you are a young 20 something year old, then you know what it's like to struggle with self discovery and self sabotage. Often times we’ll avoid self growth in order to feel a sense of escape. In this episode I talk about how self growth and discovery can be linked to crafting, DIY’s and creating a home that truly reflects you.

Hello all my fellow creative entrepreneurs!
My name is Ava Shields, and this is my first episode of my new podcast, Creatively Balanced! I want to give you a bit of my background, who I am and what it is I am doing!
Creatively Balanced is a way of life that I have cultivated over many years of being on opposite ends of the spectrum in so many aspects of life. I am now on my journey as an entrepreneur and I want to spread my story towards living a balanced life, and I want you to join my journey and my group! Creatively Balanced is a Facebook Group for creative entrepreneurs who want to take control of their lives and turn their passions into their living.
Its for the woman who is afraid that turning her passion into a business could lead to burn out or stress.
It’s for the woman who knows taking a day off to rest will not detract from her business, but it is an important aspect of growth and sustainability.
It’s for the woman who enjoys the glass of wine on a Friday and a sweet treat at the end of the day.
It’s for the woman who doesn’t want to sacrifice her mental wellbeing to achieve success.
Most importantly, it’s for the woman who WILL create the life she wants to live, and not the life that society tells her to live.
If you are that woman, I welcome you to join my Facebook Group!
