Becoming More Alive - Brandi Stanley - Ep 36

https://Art2Life.com - A good question can often provide more clarity than 1,000 answers, especially on the journey of a creative. But of all the questions, one stands out from all the rest. It is the question I follow in my art practice and the founding question of Art2Life.com, my online creative teaching platform. And it is this: What brings you alive? When human beings participate in what brings them alive, they become inspired. As a result, there is an uptick in creativity. I ask this question a lot. So much so that it recently prompted an email from someone who equally loves this question. So of course, we instantly connected.  Meet podcaster, writer, and fellow creative explorer Brandi Stanley. It has been a long time since I have talked with someone who can clearly articulate the nuances, challenges, and magic of those pursuing the creative path. I know I have found a great guest on the show when just by having a conversation with them, I learned something I was not expecting to learn. I think you will too. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… Getting to know Brandi Stanley [2:24] The art of following your compass [6:29] The scariest part about being an artist [13:31]  Unpacking the idea of purpose [18:16] Exploring synchronicity in nature and debunking the need for struggle [25:04] How to optimize your creativity [33:19] Questions to help you go deeper [41:45] ================================= CONNECT WITH BRANDI STANLEY Website: https://thisplusthat.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQeonew51eqogC8oawsxKA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisplusthatpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thisplusthatpod ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/art2lifeworld  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe8dJWKgPKkW4W3fsb1vLeg
