episode 106: George Santos, Ice Sculptures and the Reality You Create | UA106
In this episode, we talk about compulsive liars and discover the thing we all have in common with them. Even though most of us don’t intentionally lie, we actively create our own reality through the choices we make about where to focus our attention.
We’re all filters. There are 1000 things out there at any moment for us to notice, smell, see, touch. We can't and don't take it all in. We look for what we want to see. What interests us. What feels worthy of our attention. And that's what we notice. We select a few things and we discard everything else, and that filter becomes our world.
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. To subscribe for my newsletter, use the link at the bottom of page of my website, https://gracedcanvas.com/).

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.
