About this listen

 In today's episode, Harinder reflects on the emotional journey of creation, and takes a look at the process of bringing ideas to life. She shares her personal experiences of doubt, vulnerability, and the joy of creation, likening the act of creating to giving birth. Harinder emphasises the importance of appreciating the intimate connection we have with our creations before they are exposed to the world and its judgments. She encourages listeners to cherish their creative journeys and to recognise that their relationship with their work is deeply personal, independent of external validation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Creating something new involves a complex emotional journey, including feelings of doubt, frustration, and joy. It's important to acknowledge the range of emotions experienced during the creative process. While creations can be seen as separate from the creator, there is a deep personal connection to the work. This bond is akin to a mother-child relationship, where the creator has invested love and energy into bringing the creation to life. Before seeking external feedback, it's beneficial to take a moment to appreciate and savour the creation. This internal reflection helps reinforce the personal significance of the work, independent of others' opinions. The importance of recognizing that external opinions do not define the value of a creation. The relationship with one's work is deeply personal and should not be overshadowed by the judgments of others. Creators hold the authority over their work, and remembering this can help alleviate the pressure of seeking validation. The love and intention behind the creation are what truly matter, regardless of external feedback. BEST MOMENTS "What kind of meaning do we attach to our creations? Many books will talk about the fact that our creation is separate from us. I think I would probably agree with that." "Whenever we do that, it may be subject to opinions, projections, people having thoughts about it that are different to yours." "The reason I would create anything, if it's from a pure place, would be for its own sake, for no reason, just because I felt like it." "It feels very much like a mother giving birth to a child. All that love and energy poured into the embryo that grows into a child." "Our connection to what we create is deeply personal and has nothing to do with what people think about it or put on it."

Having worked closely with people from all over the world professionally in a corporate setting and since, carving out my own path in the past few years. I am an illustrator, artist and designer. I use intuitive creativity and my leadership skills for transformational coaching. I also create tools for personal and team development. Not new to podcasting, I have previously co-created a mini podcast series called How to Land Your Ideal Job. With this podcast series, I wanted to share my life learnings particularly during the fallow period of life when my life’s direction has not been clear and I’ve had to dig deep below the various identities I had collected and assumed to reconnect with who I really am. Digging through the proverbial lead to share golden nuggets of insight. I hope to take people on mellow belly button contemplations that lead to questions for self inquiry and open up new imagined possibilities to new realities.
