What’s holding you back from creating the life that you want? – November 2023

Whatever it is, it’s not a direct reflection of who you are. There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not lazy, bad, lacking drive, nor undeserving in any way.

It’s most likely that there’s a hidden limiting belief that’s fuelling any self-sabotaging ways.

Watch Natalia’s 15 Nov 2023 presentation at Brava’s Wise Women Wednesday where she helps you:

  • identify what’s been holding you back
  • learn 5 strategies to deal with procrastination
  • discover a way to transform stress and limiting thinking patterns.

Come with a particular area in your work or life that keeps frustrating you and you’d like some more traction on. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer path forward.

The Gifts of Creativity – Quiet Warrior Podcast Episode

If you’re looking for permission to get more creative, have more fun, be playful, and follow your joy – this is it!

The latest Quiet Warrior Podcast Episode dropped this week featuring my chat with Serena Low about “The Gifts of Creativity”.

Serena is an amazing coach who helps introverts and quiet achievers grow into Quiet Warriors.

I am a huge fan of Serena’s work. She exudes a quiet calm and feeling of zen around her.

Even though I’m an extravert and find it hard to stop talking once I start :-),  I find Serena’s words of wisdom still very helpful. Because at the heart of her work, she’s all about self-acceptance and compassion – recognising our strengths and rather than bending ourselves to fit into the outside world, finding ways to be courageous in expressing our true selves. And we can all benefit from this approach no matter where we get our energy from (ie. introversion or extraversion).

Also, if you’re on a journey to reconnect with your creativity and intuition, we benefit from going within and being in a quiet and reflective mind space that’s open, kind and non-judgemental.  

In this podcast, we talk about many things about creativity: the importance of how we see ourselves, tips to help us open up our creativity, and how to create a safe space for us to create and share our efforts.

The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast with Erica Webb
Episode 108: Doubly Smart Goals

Need a little inspiration around your goal setting?
Not achieving what you’d like for yourself?

Then listen to this fun and engaging podcast where I speak with Erica from Erica Webb Yoga and Pilates. We talk about how to set and work towards your goals in a way that is kinder, more sustainable and hence more achievable. I also introduce my take on the SMART goal setting framework. So much fun!

The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast - Erica Webb with Natalia Walker Episode 108 Doubly Smart Goals

Here’s Erica’s overview:

Today I’m welcoming Natalia Walker from Inner Creative to The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast to talk all about unlocking our inspiration and the ‘doubly smart’ approach to setting goals that make us happy.

What really excited me about my conversation with Natalia was her approach to goal-setting that centers self-care around the goals themselves, rather than the traditional techniques that often rely on (or result in) push, punishment, guilt and shame.

Specifically, Natalia shares with us her unique take on SMART goal setting (it’s not what you think and Natalia’s take on this is INSPIRING!) and how ensuring that we are supported (internally and externally) in our pursuit of what makes us happy is vital in the process. Natalia shares:

  • why self-kindness doesn’t equate to laziness
  • why knowing what makes us happy is important (but maybe also not immediately obvious)
  • the importance of starting small when it comes to moving toward our goals
  • the role of creating a ‘container’ to support our goal pursuits
  • how we can work with our ‘resistance to starting’ and her approach to failure (it’s not the end of the road)
  • how we can use our body as a barometer and the importance of noticing how we feel.

All this and more! I loved chatting with Natalia and am thrilled to share this conversation with you.

Listen to ‘Doubly Smart Goals on The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast

Listen to Episode 108 of The Movement and Mindfulness Podcast or wherever you find your podcast favourites.

It was so much fun! We could have kept talking for ages! I hope that you enjoy listening to it too.

No More Excuses – Weekly Facebook Live with Suzanne Culberg

In 2021 I and Suzanne Culberg went LIVE on Facebook each week where we talked about how to overcome the things that hold us back from taking action and creating habits towards the life we desire. We alternated each week between our Facebook pages. Find out more at @innercreativeconsulting and @suzanneculberg.

In this No More Excuses episode from 6 October 2021, we talked about handling setbacks. I did a Show and Tell about the history of my Mandala Inspirations. I shared how I endured many setbacks that helped to evolve my process, my mandala offering, and ultimately led to the creation of my Happy Hearts Care range.

Creative Ways to Set Good Habits – 9 April 2021

It’s always fun to chat to Naishadh Gadani. I’m grateful to Naishadh and Karalyn Brown for inviting me to talk about “Creative Ways to Set Good Habits” onto their thought provoking LinkedIn Live show. 

If you didn’t catch us live then watch the replay here. 

We talked about some easy ways to get started and build a habit. And I shared my version of the SMART goals acronym that is equally useful in creating a lasting habit.

I especially loved our discussion about needing to be kind to ourselves and being willing to be show up for ourselves in whatever practice and habit we’re trying to create – especially when we ‘break the chain’ and fall off the habit wagon. 

If you’re interested in learning more about the creative products and projects I talked about you can find them here:

And while I didn’t mention it specifically in our discussion, you may be interested in the Procrastination Buster Handbook that has 33 tips that you can use to overcome any resistance you have to start a habit or creative project

Here’s to making that start and showing up as much as we can.

How to be more positive and productive | How to feel better about yourself | Wellbeing at workplace – on Career Care Package 31 August 2020 (replay available)

Watch Natalia talk with Karalyn Brown and Naishadh Gadani about how to boost your wellbeing and productivity on the Career Care Package Live at https://youtu.be/4IDdUb2mIzM. We discuss all things self-care and run through a Wellbeing Bingo creative exercise for an easy way to boost your mood through your workday.

This Wellbeing (or Self-Care) Bingo became one of the ways that I introduced more self-care into my life. And it subsequently led to the creation of the Happy Hearts Care range. Little did I know back in August 2020 that drawing hearts would make such a positive impact on my work and the lives of others by bringing great joy and comfort, while reminding us of how deserving we are of love, happiness and care.
