When I was at school, I was told by my art teacher that I’d be lucky to get a D in my art GCSE.

Being a sensitive person, I took that to mean that I wasn’t creative and that I was rubbish at art.

I cant be 100% sure that’s what the teacher meant, but that’s the message I told myself for many years and I pretty much stopped doing anything creative until I was in my thirties.

When I trained as a coach, I realised that often it’s not the words people say that matter, it’s what we make them mean.

This meaning is based on years of conditioning and often not on truth, but on perception.

But that meaning can stop us doing things we love and stop us living life fully.

Over the last 7 years I’ve absolutely adored the journey of embracing my creativity again, just for the fun of it.

As a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser, letting go of the judgement I had of my creative ability or any worry about whether anyone else would like it, was nothing short of liberating.

This picture is called ‘breathing love’ and it’s about breathing love into every area of my life.

That’s been my journey.

I love helping my clients to breathe love into their lives and helping them to see they’re so much more than the stories they tell themselves.

Liberate yourself

You might be surprised to find out what you’re really capable of.
