Unlock Clarity Through Creative Expression

Last week, at the Creation Vacation retreat, I witnessed magic unfold.

I watched as women connected to their deep creative power and saw what emerged for each of them.

The opportunity to be fully expressed, as we all laughed and experienced expansive play, opened hearts.

Meaningful realizations came to light as we engaged in deep conversations, and those ideas were explored and expanded in quiet introspection and coaching conversations.

There was palpable ease as everyone was fully cared for — from our exquisite and comfortable surroundings, to eating scrumptious food, to being led in remarkable yoga, and working with a brilliant energy healer and teacher to embody the insights and intentions that showed up.

There is no question that each woman will experience a year that is focused, meaningful and satisfying in incredible ways, having gifted herself this experience.

I am filled with gratitude for the trust these women put in me, and for the way everyone showed up, was all-in, and shared love and support for everyone around her.

Creating brings clarity

When you create — in any way that delights you — your heart opens and has information that you can listen to.

Try it for yourself.

Choose a way to play and create that appeals to you.

If you want to play with colors, you might paint or draw, or combine colors and textures when you prepare food.

If you are excited about music, play an instrument, sing, or listen intently to music you love.

If you love to use your body, dance, hike, do yoga or work out.

You might write, do improv, arrange flowers, build in a workshop, make ceramics, or do many kinds of things with your hands.

When you make these ways of creating a regular part of your life, you’ll connect to insights, desires, and new ideas with ease.

They are accessible when you activate creative channels. 

Creative energy can carry you far

The more you tap your creative spirit and listen for the intuitive messages that show up, the more clarity you will have — about what you want, what really matters, and great ways you can take action toward the outcomes you want. 

And when you are fueled by your creative power, taking aligned action becomes easier and easier over time. The more you keep that energy flowing, the less you will struggle.

Is it guaranteed that everything will magically and quickly progress as you dream it will? Of course not.

We are complex beings and we live in a world that changes all the time.

And, you can make it as smooth and easy as possible for yourself to make progress toward your desires. So why not explore that way of living?

And, you can get help!

While the Creation Vacation retreat for 2026 is in the books, the Live Big Live 2026 retreat is just a few months away.

Why not check out that opportunity, to accelerate your path and have loving support and guidance to live your best life?

here are some special moments of the Creation Vacation experience last week!

Simplify to Succeed: How Focus Unlocks Real Results

It’s easy for life to get complicated — I slip into that trap often!

So what can you do when you realize that things are overwhelmingly complex?

I have learned that when I slow down and look at things through a new lens, I am able to operate in a new way.

Adopting a few steps can make a world of difference for you, too, so that you will feel better and be more effective.

When you learn how to simplify and focus on distilling to the essence, you’ll reap huge benefits.

1. Begin with clarity 

Having clarity is powerful.

Take a beat and ask yourself: What is most important today?

This may be easy for you, or may it take time for you to bring a clear focus to each day. It will be worth the effort!

Make a daily practice of starting your morning with a thoughtful decision about one thing that will be your primary focus of the day. You might have a dedicated note pad ready to pick up each morning to write down that priority.

It is typical to think there must be 2, 3 or more things to put on that sheet, but do not include more than 3 things on any day!

Be sure you choose 1 clear focus to begin with, knowing it will help you get to numbers 2 and 3 more quickly (and feel better when you get to them!).

And stay alert to things (and people) that pull your attention into other directions.

You may find that you need to deliberately return to the focus you chose for your day multiple times. I promise it will be worth the effort.

2. Decide on the easiest place to start

Choose one simple thing that will be the most effective action to take to move your key priority forward.

And after you take that action, ask yourself this question again:

What one simple thing can I do next to move this forward?

Repeat as you go through your day.

3. Communicate clearly and simply

Focus on communicating with as much simplicity and clarity as possible.

Whether you write emails, meet with people, set agendas, speak to audiences, or plan presentations, keep your messages direct and clear. That will make it easier to communicate dynamically, too.

You will be better understood, you’ll get more buy-in, command more attention, and achieve your objectives with more ease.

And remember that you can be clear and commanding while using a tone that is truly authentic. Clear communication delivered authentically will naturally engage and influence people.

Cultivating a direct, simple and authentic way of communicating takes focus. With consistency and practice, it will become your natural way of operating.

Sustain your focus and thrive!

I hope that using these steps will have a positive impact on your day-to-day life.

There are, of course, other things that can help you keep focused and get the most important things done.

Delegating tasks is always a great idea, as is considering who you might turn to for help.

And you might consider coaching support, if the big picture question of what you want your life’s focus to be is something you’re thinking about, or to help you navigate day-to-day challenges.
