      <image:title>Blog : Live That Creative Life - Finding your creative voice - It’s all about that feeling…</image:title>
      <image:caption>My new approach? I’m letting go of trying to grow, teach, or sound profound. I’m not chasing virality. I’m simply telling my story in a way that excites me. Along the way, I hope to connect, inspire, and create meaningful conversations. Instead of asking, What will people like? I’m turning inward: What makes me feel alive? What sparks joy, warmth, or excitement? That’s what I want to share—because if it moves me, maybe it will move someone else too. Good vibes, good feelings—that’s the goal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog : Live That Creative Life - 3 Books Every Creator Needs to Read (And Why They Matter) - 2. The Artist’s Way – Julia Cameron</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you’ve ever felt creatively blocked, The Artist’s Way is a must-read. Julia Cameron’s approach is all about consistency—showing up every day, whether or not inspiration strikes. She emphasizes that creativity isn’t something you find; it’s something you develop through practice. One of her most famous techniques, Morning Pages, is a simple daily writing exercise that helps clear mental clutter and reconnect with your creative instincts. I’ve been sticking to my morning pages ever since I first read this book. This book is a game-changer for anyone struggling with self-doubt or procrastination.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog : Live That Creative Life - 3 Books Every Creator Needs to Read (And Why They Matter) - 3. Never Play It Safe – Chase Jarvis</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fear holds so many creatives back—fear of failure, judgment, or not being original enough. Chase Jarvis argues that the key to unlocking creativity is to stop overthinking and start playing. Creativity isn’t about perfection; it’s about experimentation. The more you create, the more your voice naturally emerges. This is just one of the “levers” you can use the live the life that you actually want to live. I found inspiration not only for a creative life but also found inspiration for potential business ideas through this book.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog : Live That Creative Life - 3 Books Every Creator Needs to Read (And Why They Matter) - The Creative Act: A Way of Being – Rick Rubin</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rick Rubin’s book isn’t a step-by-step guide—it’s a meditation on being a creator. It’s a collection of thoughts on how to live the creative life and make meaningful art. He teaches that art isn’t about chasing trends or making what you think people want. It’s about following curiosity, creating for yourself first, and trusting that your unique perspective is enough. So often, creators worry, Will people like this? Rubin flips that mindset: Do you love it? This book reminds us that the best art comes from intuition, not external validation.</image:caption>
