"Small Yummy Kisses"
My secret to consistent creativity
Hello beautiful humans,
There is something magical about consistency, and it’s essential to the work that I do.
For the past decade, I’ve been crafting photos, videos, and guided meditations that reach millions. But when people describe me as consistent, I find it hard to believe.
So today, I want to take you on a journey of consistency.
Below you will find a solo audio podcast where I share what I have learned about consistency over the past 20 years of working as a professional creator, artist, photographer and writer.
We’ll explore how to maintain a connection with Creativity, even when we’ve lost momentum. Because it’s not about being perfect; it’s about showing up again and again, and those “Small Yummy Kisses” that reignite the spark.
We’ll also look at the powerful and clear parallel between consistency with Creativity and consistency with love and intimacy. The older I get, the more I am convinced that these parallels are not an accident.
In fact, I am convinced that God is an artist and a poet—and a romantic, at that.
So, dive into the audio and let’s discover how to embrace the messy, beautiful path of consistency. Once you finish, come back to the rest of the goodies below—they will make a lot more sense after you’ve listened.

This Week’s Journal Prompt:
Building Momentum
Describe a period when you felt a strong sense of momentum*. This can be in any area of your life: career, social, physical health, hobbies. What factors do you think contributed to this momentum?
*If you’ve never felt a strong sense of momentum, imagine what it would be like. Turn it into a fantasy and describe it in as much detail as possible.
