Making The Impossible Real (about your guide)

This is part of a series exploring how we might start to make real the things we desire—personally and collectively—but deem “impossible.” 

Before we get to the how, a bit of background on where my thinking has evolved from, why you might listen to me, and why tackling The Impossible might be for you.

Before, if you asked me what I wanted 
I would’ve said a good job with benefits, 
a six-figure business, 
a substitute dream. 

Orienting my life around the practical and responsible—trying and mostly failing to earn a sustainable living—has taken a toll. It locked away my hope, my dreams, my ability to marvel that we live on a rock in space that’s spinning about 1,000 miles an hour. 

But they’ve been pushing at the box and forming an escape plan…

Are you also waking 
from the American Dream: Work 
Hard, someone else 
can buy a yacht, live 
the high life. No way you would
have fallen for that…right?

I started asking: “What would life have to look like for me to want to live?”

I was trying to live my life like I wasn’t an artist. At some point, I got it in my head that making art wasn't practical and responsible, and being practical and responsible was very important. But what if being an artist is the most practical and responsible thing for me?

So I slowly started letting my inner artist lead. The Creative Courage project started as a personal lifeline. But…

…with my knowledge of coaching, copywriting, storytelling, and how transformation works, I couldn’t help but see the possibilities of inviting others along.

Artists help us see what we’re tolerating collectively, offer an alternative vision of where we can go together, and make the impossible seem possible. 

Over the next several posts, we'll explore how we might start making the impossible feel possible.
