EP60: As a Creator, How Do You Nurture and Restore?
Creations blossom as a result of our contributions and our efforts. Every time we share our creations, it\u2019s time to celebrate our impact and recharge ourselves. This episode talks about managing ourselves as we move through the creation process.
Let\u2019s really reflect on what you\u2019re creating in your life, and what I\u2019m creating in my life, and this idea of us being creators. We\u2019re all creators, regardless of what we are creating, doing, or being. With simply our presence on this Earth, we are creating within ourselves and interacting with the things around us.
I\u2019m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP60\u2019s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. I\u2019m still on a high from publishing my first book, Heart Value. While enjoying the finished project, I keep finding lessons in the time I spent on this creation. More than that, this creation is showing me that the work isn\u2019t done. I\u2019m gradually discovering ways to continue supporting my first book and supporting you all as you connect with the content.
On our Wise Walk, I discuss how we as creators can cultivate the art of creating and nurturing towards anything in life. I give examples from behind-the-scenes of wrapping up the book launch and celebrating a job well done. Later in the conversation, I share thoughts on how we occasionally bump into the need to pivot with the ebb and flow of life around us.
I explore what it means to be kind to yourself, and show up better, to reflect on these Wise Walk questions and more:
- What is something you\u2019re working on, or striding towards, that you know is going to change your life and it\u2019s going to need different types of nurturing?
- As you go on this journey and think about the other things you want to create, how do you want to pace yourself?
- How are you going to incorporate that intuitive sense of nourishment and recovery, so that you can be your best self at every step of the way?
- Whatever your creation is, as life ebbs and flows, can you make the space to always make your way back to it?\xa0\xa0
If you\u2019re finishing a project or in the middle of a project, tune in to hear these Wise Walk questions to find a way to pace and nurture yourself:
- How are we slowing down and nurturing that creator within us?
- How are we recovering once we launch something?
Join this inspiring community to uncover a new sense of freedom, and be sure to follow and review the True Stride podcast as we continue to exchange our light and Heart Value with each other.

Memorable Quotes:
- \u201cThis recovery idea is all about trying to invite this pacing for myself, so I can fire on all cylinders when I\u2019m in that GO-mode. When I\u2019m in that recovery-mode, I give myself the kindness to kind of stop, recharge, and just reevaluate.\u201d - Mary Tess
- \u201cWhatever it is that\u2019s important to you, it\u2019s also important to this world. You have something. You have Heart Value that you deserve to share and that people are going to benefit from.\u201d - Mary Tess
