Your life isn’t a left brain problem to solve. You can try to plan. You can say, “I’ll do A, add B, then I’ll add C, D, E and F, and I'm going to get G. But of you're like most of us, the chances of it happening that way are pretty much zero.
We put so much emphasis on having our plans work out. We try to control our lives, and it’s so painful when what we’ve been expecting doesn’t materialize.
There’s a lot of healing in the realization that life isn’t scripted. It unfolds. Sure, we have some influence on what happens, but life co-creates our experience of it with us.
Life offers us amazing twists and turns, and if we’re open to what they can teach us, if we’re open to the unexpected opportunities, we can have the rich experience of life that happens in the doing of it. Of the being IN it.
Life is a creative act. Just like the making of art unfolds the art, the making of life unfolds the life.
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.
