The Jump.
Welcome to the WHY behind Creative Brain Untangling...
Hi!
Thank you so much for being here and visiting my little treehouse on the world wide web. We’re about to dream up some wild ideas together and make shit happen…
I hope you brought sparkly pens and snacks!
A “newsletter” is such a boring way to say an unruly treasure map of creative inspiration, introspection and celebratory magic, no? And yet here we are, you, me and this ‘special interest publication’.
So WHY are we here?
WHY this newsletter and WHY now?
I’m a creative who loves collaborating with creatives!
I’ve always loved hearing big ideas and sharing them with others. I love the way creatives can dream and build on ideas that strike gold and inspire head-to-toe-excitement and forward momentum. And I absolutely love holding the mirror for people so they can see their bubbling potential.
This is my ‘special interest’.
Those of you that have worked with me know that I sometimes share what I’m working through or have worked through, to see if it resonates. I also do this in my podcast This Juicy Life.
Sometimes it’s easier to see our own blind spots or growth, when it’s reflected in someone else.
I’m a Creative Coach - and Coaching is Creative Collaboration.
It’s surprising and inspiring - much like existing in a choose your own adventure story (we forget that life is this)! It’s a mutual and exciting playground where we both get to win. Your growth inspires my growth and vice versa - like an infinity loop. And that’s what I hope this newsletter can be also.
When we uplift, support, and inspire each other, we create a true abundance mindset that can change the world.
And why now?
Because it’s about damn time. You wouldn’t believe how long I’ve thought about publishing my thoughts in written form. There has been something extra ‘vulns’ about it for some weird reason - an old story perhaps?
… and yet as a Coach, I know I’m falling prey to all the pesky mindset blocks I work through with my clients.
So here I am, JUMPING.
What are you waiting to dive scared into?
Hold my hand and scream with me, we doing this thing!
Each week I’ll share 3 different sections:
Creative Nuggs:
Treasures I’ve collected from others that tickle my creative brain (and maybe yours too)
The Untangling:
What I'm currently/personally working on unraveling - often our thoughts are part of a community collective unconscious. We may share an idea that others are chewing on too.
The Abundance Aggregate:
“a rising tide lifts all boats!” - celebrating fellow creatives, stories of abundance and other collective radness that needs to be shared.
One little spark from another can light the way…
I shared about my biggest takeaway from the ALT Summit on instagram. I can credit the beautiful women I met here for the push I needed to get this started.
I believe that when we show our weird and shine our light, we attract our community. It’s what lead me to ALT to meet with so many beautiful inspiring women, and it’s what lead us to find each other.
So now that you’re here…
Some other beliefs I hold that will ultimately influence what I share here:
We are all wildly unique and have our own special sauce - this authenticity is the key to thriving
I believe we can create the life (or experience of life), that we want to live - it’s one giant choose your own adventure story.
There is magic in the world - Creativity is one vessel for it.
When we lift each other up and share resources, we magnetize opportunities and abundance
Your intuition always knows the way.
No one has the answers for you. Not me. Not some fancy expensive jet owning biz Coach, not a course, not an influencer promising x,y,z, not an algorithm hack. As creatives, we’re here to create NEW answers, and inspire others to do the same. In everything I do, I endeavor to help you remember how to do that.
If all of this doesn’t feel aligned for you…AWESOME! You tried it on for size and now you know. That’s discernment, and I celebrate that.
Next you can follow your intuition towards other content that tickles your fancy and makes you say YASSS!
If you’re still eating snacks in this treehouse with me then let’s celebrate that we found each other!

Lots of love!
Lauren
