Ep.4. Joyfully Completing Creative Projects with Cassie Mendoza-Jones

Featured Guests

24 Jan

Last year, I discovered Cassie Mendoza-Jones's warm, nurturing work via my mastermind buddy Naomi Arnold. After watching Cassie's free webinar on her website, I instantly developed a girl crush (something that doesn't happen often) and I couldn't wait to have her as part of season one of the podcast.

And then, as I spent more time soaking up her goodness online (she has such a nurturing presence on Instagram) and via her best-selling books, I knew she would be an incredible Guest Teacher in Flourish too!

Why?

Because Cassie has such a natural, holistic, warm-hearted and light approach to creativity. She oozes self-acceptance (the key to flourishing in your creative life) and her warmth and compassion spill over into everything she touches, creates, writes and shares.

You may know her through her best-selling books, "You Are Enough," and "It's All Good" published by Hay House. Members inside Flourish are already excited to have her as a guest teacher and I'm truly brimming with excitement to share this interview with you today.

May you soak up her wisdom around completing creative projects with joy and feel inspired in your own creative life.

I’m soooo excited today because I got to talk with Cassie Mendoza-Jones, best-selling author, kinesiologist, business alignment coach, naturopath, writer and speaker.

We chatted about the creative process in business, moveable deadlines, the importance of taking care of yourself while you create, why Cass believes writer's block and creative caves are a myth, her practical advice to anyone wanting to pivot in their business, and much more.

Cassie is a Guest Teacher in my year-long creativity school, Flourish: The Art of Creative Living and I absolutely LOVED recording this episode with her.I have learnt so much from her way of working as a heart-centred creative entrepreneur and completing creative projects with joy, so I’m excited to share this chat with you today.
