Welcome to episode 18 of The Creative Joyride. In this episode, I expand on an aspect of last week's episode and share some thoughts about some of the different transitions and changes we may experience as we go through life. From schools to sports to jobs to hobbies, we experience so many transitions. And it's these shifts and changes that allow us to grow and develop into the people we were meant to be with the lives we were meant to lead. Embrace life's transitions. I hope you enjoy the episode and have an awesometastic week!

 Welcome to episode 17 of The Creative Joyride. In this episode, I encourage embracing the changing seasons of life. Not everything is meant to last forever. Some things are just seasonal, and resisting those seasons of change could be delaying your transition to bigger and better things. Don't hold yourself back from your bright future or from getting everything that is meant for you. Embrace the seasons of change. I hope you enjoy the episode and have an awesometastic week!

Welcome to episode 16 of The Creative Joyride. In this episode, I expand on an idea that I brought up in last week’s episode, Breathe. The idea that It’s totally ok to give your body and your mind the rest that they need, even when it may feel like it’s not. Let’s not push ourselves to the point of exhaustion. Rest when you know you need it.I hope you enjoy the episode.

Hello everyone, welcome to episode 15 of The Creative Joyride!In this week’s episode, I just offer a little reminder. A reminder to breathe. It’s easy to get caught up in the swing of things and become stressed or overwhelmed. Especially now, as we're transitioning back to in-person education and working on site. But in those times, it’s important that we stop to breathe and take a moment of pause to re-center ourselves.I hope you enjoy the episode!Connect With Us:Email - [email protected] - @TheCreativeJRFacebook - The Creative JoyrideInstagram - @TheCreativeJoyrideDon't forget to check out our website!

Hello everyone, welcome to episode 14 of The Creative Joyride! In this week's episode, I talk about an idea that I was introduced to through speeches and interviews on Youtube. The idea that there will come a time when we need to stop asking for permission to step into our greatness and instead give notice that we are going to. Looking for outside approval will only allow us to get so far. We need to look within and take it upon ourselves to move forward into everything that is meant for us.Connect With Us:Email - [email protected] - @TheCreativeJRFacebook - The Creative JoyrideInstagram - @TheCreativeJoyrideDon't forget to check out our website!

Hello everyone, welcome to episode 13 of The Creative Joyride! In this episode, I offer a bit of encouragement. Encouragement to just be you. We can often feel pressure to only present part of ourselves to the world because of the potential for rejection or being perceived in a negative light. But we are all uniquely made with gifts and talents that only we can share. Don't allow others to influence how you decide to show up in the world.

Welcome to episode 12 of The Creative Joyride! In this episode, I hone in on why repetition just might actually be key. And not in the catchy pop song sense, but in the language learning sense. My 11th-grade French teacher used to describe the way she was teaching us with the phrase "puke, regurgitate, vomit". With so many different ways to say the same thing and different ways to accomplish the same goal, it may take some work to reach your desired outcome. But you don't have to follow the one size fits all approach. Look at all the different options that are available to you, and go with the one that your heart leads you to.Connect With Us:Twitter - @TheCreativeJRInstagram - @TheCreativeJoyrideFacebook - The Creative JoyrideDon't forget to check out our website!

Welcome to episode 11 of The Creative Joyride! This episode is the product of starting out with one idea in mind, but following the train of thought to a completely different destination. I start by sharing a concept that was introduced to me through YouTube videos and transition to the value in getting to know yourself, understanding who you are, and how you want to be seen. Your self-perception can influence how you present yourself to the world and in turn how you are perceived, so identifying the kind of person that you want to be and working towards that will be well worth the effort.Connect With Us:Twitter - @TheCreativeJRInstagram - @TheCreativeJoyrideFacebook - The Creative JoyrideDon't forget to check out our website!

Welcome to episode 10 of The Creative Joyride! I can't believe we're already 10 episodes in. Thank you so much to everyone that has been listening and supporting the show. It's been an interesting road and steep learning curve, but a fun time. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the quote “If your dreams don't scare you, they're too small”. I'm a believer that word choice matters. Changing just one word in a sentence can completely shift the tone of its message. I share in this episode the change I would make to this quote to transform its message into one that I feel is a healthier way to evaluate one's dreams.Let us know, down in the comments, your thoughts on this quote and what you think about my modification! Also, feel free to share any quotes that inspire or have inspired you on your pursuit to achieve your goals and dreams and maximize your life happiness.Connect With Us:Twitter - @TheCreativeJRInstagram - @TheCreativeJoyrideFacebook - The Creative JoyrideDon't forget to check out our website!

Welcome to episode nine of The Creative Joyride. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the question "What are you in it for?". When reflecting on my life and goals, I always tend to come back to this question. It reminds me of when I was in college preparing to become an RA. In this episode, I share that story and ultimately how I've come to answer this question when it arises.Let us know your thoughts and approach to answering this question!Connect With Us:Twitter - @TheCreativeJRInstagram - @TheCreativeJoyrideFacebook - The Creative JoyrideDon't forget to check out our website!
