Summary
Have you ever asked yourself how your relationships influence your creativity or the pursuit of your dreams? Or the inverse, how how being a creator impacts the relationships in your life? Taking into account the time and energy required to run a business or pursue dreams with a two year inversion of normality, it makes sense that some friends and family don't always see the best version of us.
In this episode, we explore how our relationships impact our creativity and visa versa and what more we can do to cultivate human connection.
A few notes from the show:
Where to start? Self awareness. Your ability to read the room and understand your role in whatever social scenario you find yourself is a skill that can be honed and improved.
Who's judgement really matters? Brené Brown keeps a 1x1 inch square piece of paper with a list of the few people who she truly respects their opinions. Rather than get distracted by the criticisms and praise of strangers, focusing on being the best version of yourself to the people who matter most will guide your actions wisely.
Family isn't everything. Often we feel obliged to cater to the vision our family members have for our one precious life. This is a huge point of contention for many people, and if this strikes a cord with you, I encourage you to have an honest dialogue about why you are passionate about the path you're on. At the end of the day, you are the only one who should be directing the path of your one precious life.
Human connection plays a direct role in how you show up in the world, and the way in which you pursue your dreams. This week, take some time to evaluate how your relationships impact your creativity, productivity and mental state.

| 0:10.4 | Your pursuit, the pursuit of your dreams, or maybe how being a creator or an entrepreneur, |
| 0:15.6 | how that impacts the relationships in your life? |
| 0:19.4 | And not just the relationships of your significant other, if you have such a person in your life, and not just the relationships of your significant other, |

| 0:27.5 | even coworkers. |
| 0:29.3 | If you haven't thought about that, I invite you today in today's micro show to join me |
| 0:35.2 | in the pursuit of answering this question, but for yourself. Being a creator or an |
| 0:42.5 | entrepreneur is obviously radically demanding in terms of time. And that often leaves us with an empty |
| 0:50.9 | tank for other aspects of our lives. This is not new, but specifically empty sometimes with our ability to be a good partner, |
| 1:00.6 | a good spouse, friend, listener, what have you. |
| 1:04.2 | Second, it's no surprise that working from home over the course of the past two years |
| 1:09.4 | to the pandemic has radically |
| 1:11.6 | exacerbated so many existing issues within and around personal relationships for so many |
| 1:18.9 | of us. And this is largely due to the fact that we were forced to share space, to share |
| 1:24.4 | work spaces, to share house space, you know, rooms for our office to also be the |
| 1:29.7 | daycare, to have our front room be our office and the office that our roommates share. I'm guessing |
| 1:36.9 | that everyone here can relate to this. So it's worthwhile to spend time acknowledging that. |
| 1:43.6 | And we, whether we like it or not, are social animals. |
| 1:46.9 | And human connection is not optional. |
| 1:50.5 | Babies that do not get that human connection at birth, they die. |
| 1:54.7 | We know that loneliness is more toxic than smoking a pack of cigarettes every day. |
