Melanie Shields, Change your mind and do it scared.

10/04/22 • 42 min

This week’s guest is Melanie Shields, she’s a scholar turned cda turned baker and she’s under 30. This episode highlights how no matter what age you are, it’s important to listen to your inner voice when you feel uninspired. This can look like dreading going to work the next day, or having anxiety at work. Melanie shares how you can overcome this with small steps by starting with doing things that you enjoy. My Favourite Melanie quotes: “I find it really encouraging that there are people out there who make career changes of life changes of any kind so late in their life..there’s always time, you’re out of time when your dead. I can change my mind any time I want to and that’s really encouraging.” “I went through the whole phase of oh this is the universe telling me I shouldn’t do this, or I’m being redirected in some way and I should do it as a hobby and jus leave it at that, but I found kind a surprising amount of success on Etsy..and just wanted to dive into doing it on my own to prove it to myself that was still interested in making this career change and this is the direction I wanted to go.” “That year of pause and exploration of what am I interested in, is it cookies? is it bread? is it chocolate? is it this or that? Just did nothing but cement the idea that this is exactly what I want to do.” “Do it scared, don’t wait till you’re ready, you’ll never be ready, especially if you’re an anxious person” “Look at my eyes when I talk about it, the things that light you up like this don’t ignore it, it’s not to be ignored.” Contact Melanie IG: www.instagram.com/mels.baked Visit Flourist Bakery 3433 Commerical St. Website: https://flourist.com IG: https://instagram.com/flourist Contact Daisy Email: [email protected] Website: www.aporpro.ca IG: www.instagram.com/creativeinspo_daisy Thank you for listening and being a part of this space xoxo

Creativeinspo Message #6: Try, Try Again

Creativeinspo Message #6 is, Try, Try Again. This is for everyone who has experienced failure, in any capacity.

I touch on three ways you can find the confidence to get up and try again and apply it to your creative journey.

I talk about a personal experience I had and also, in regards to being a new mom, yes that’s happening soon!!! I know I can apply these things in those moments when I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing as well. When maybe perhaps, I might feel like a failure.

After all it’s about growing,

And learning,

Discovering new layers of yourself.

Enjoy the journey that is life.

Try again! I believe in you!!
