31. How to Start When You Don’t Feel Like Starting: A Gentle Reset for Stuck Creative Energy

This one came straight from the closet floor. (Literally. The acoustics are weirdly amazing in here 😂)

Today I’m sharing a softer, more honest roadmap for those moments when your body says “rest” but your vision says “create.” You know the ones. When everything feels ripe with possibility, but you just can’t get yourself to start.

Over the past week, I hit a bit of a wall. Not a dramatic one, but the kind where naps felt more essential than emails, and everything in me asked for stillness instead of strategy. And it got me thinking about something I’ve also been hearing from clients lately:

How do I begin when I really, really don’t feel like it?

Inside this episode, I share:

  • What I’ve been learning about the sacred pause after expansion

  • The 6-step practice I use to move from resistance to gentle motion (without force)

  • Why meeting your needs is the most productive thing you can do

  • And how just 20 minutes can change your creative trajectory

If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or creatively foggy, this one’s for you. Come lie on the proverbial carpet with me (or actual carpet, if you want), and let’s remember how to start again in a way that actually honors who you are. Press play and let it feel like a warm exhale.

And if you haven’t taken the new quiz yet, Which Inner Voice is Running Your Show?, it’s the perfect companion to today’s convo. It only takes a few minutes, and it’ll help you get super clear on what’s driving your creative process behind the scenes.
