episode 123: A Garden Tour and the Uniqueness of You | UA123
Last weekend, a gardening group in Prince Edward County where I live generously opened their homes and gardens for us to experience.
I walked away from the tour with a different result than I’d expected – not so much a list of plants or ideas I might use in my own garden, but a beautiful reminder of the enormous diversity and uniqueness of human creative expression, interest, preference and focus, of the very different things that cause each on of us to feel joyful, alive and connected.
One of the purposes of this podcast is to help you understand and believe that there's something deeply and uniquely creative inside you. And to know that whatever form you express that in is perfect. Your joy in doing it is enough.
When you share something you’ve created with someone else, it allows them to connect with you at a deeper level because the creative part of you is connecting with the creative part of them. And that’s a beautiful thing.
DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE
If you’re focused on pleasing everyone around you, chances are you’re not leading the life you want. People pleasing is the main obstacle I help my clients tackle so that they can discover who they are and live the life they desire. If you suspect this might be you, but you’re not sure, I offer free coaching consultation calls where we’ll talk about what you want to do and why you’re not doing it. I’ll offer you my prescription and we’ll see if it makes sense to coach together. Use this link to book your session: https://gracedcanvascalendar.as.me/freestrategysession/.
Everything I offer helps you discover who you are. In my Creative Expansion newsletter, I share the kinds of insights I share in this podcast. Plus I let you know about my online coaching offers and live events and workshops here at GRACE Studio in Prince Edward County. Enjoy the scenery at my acreage and explore who you are through mindfulness, nature exploration, making art, creative writing, and other means to discover at a deeper level who you are and what you want.

ABOUT ME:
I’m a former international tax lawyer and senior partner of Ernst & Young in Toronto, where I serviced banks and other large multinationals and led a large group of professionals.
My life expanded when I left the law in 2014 to learn how to paint, something I’d always dreamt of doing, but had no reason to believe was possible for me. After a couple years of painting and selling my work, I became passionate about helping other people who yearn to feel more personally fulfilled, invigorated and soul connected in their lives every day, and I became certified as a life coach.
I now spend my time painting, coaching, and creating live events at GRACE Studio (more formally, the “George Russell Academy of Creative Expansion”) in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. And, of course, producing this podcast for you.
