<p>This is a short introduction to the new season of the Dear Creative Mind podcast. I&#39;m sharing what my creative world has looked like this winter, and reflect on something I&#39;ve been noticing a lot in the creatives I work with lately.</p><p>I also introduce the 3 artists I had the honour to interview for this season (YANA, Ileana Moro and Penelope Trappes). What connects them is something I find radical: each of them chose to remove, to subtract, to do less , and what remained became more powerful and more sincere.</p><p>I close with a question to carry into spring: what can you intentionally choose to simplify this season?</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://dearcreativemind.myflodesk.com/yekxmo8jag" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Join the waitlist for the upcoming art residency x mentorship cohort</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>About me</strong></p><p>Pascale Côté is a creativity guide, therapeutic arts practitioner, and strategic thought partner to artists, culture-builders and creative teams. I help them re-member their creative nature, channel their imagination in generative ways, and create from a rooted place.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the podcast</strong></p><p>Creative minds are the architects of a new world, and their art holds the keys to reimagining our reality. The challenge is, creative minds often spend just as much time crafting self-limiting narratives as they do creating their art. Dear Creative Mind is a space for creative liberation—a pathway out of the cycle of overthinking, burnout, and stagnation. </p><ul><br></ul><p><strong>Get support for your creative mind</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.dearcreativemind.com/private-coaching-support" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 support for creatives</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://www.dearcreativemind.com/coaching/p/email-coaching" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>New: email guidance</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li><strong></strong><a href="https://www.dearcreativemind.com/coaching/p/email-coaching" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>The Creative Liberation Portal⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong></strong><a href="https://www.dearcreativemind.com/coaching/p/email-coaching" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li><strong></strong><a href="https://dearcreativemind.myflodesk.com/gdwdcc6uxh" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free tool: The Creative Confidence Toolkit</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong></strong></li><li><a href="https://calendly.com/dearcreativemind/nicetomeetyou" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a free clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li></ul><ul><li><strong></strong><a href="https://dearcreativemind.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Receive the monthly prompts⁠ on Substack</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong></strong></li></ul><ul><li><strong></strong><a href="https://www.dearcreativemind.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>⁠⁠Explore the full website⁠⁠⁠</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong></strong></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dearcreativemind" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>Find me on Instagram</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li></ul><ul> </ul><ul><br></ul><p>A special thank you to <a href="https://www.morenoalexandra.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alexandra Moreno⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> for the original music of the podcast.</p><p><br></p>
