Sarah Fraser is an editor, writer, teacher, and blogger and we talked about her personal journey of reconnecting with her creativity.

She took us back on the journey along with her through her early childhood and how she always wanted to be an author but somehow along the way got distracted by the shoulds and quote-unquote real-life responsibilities of finding a well-paid career instead. She further shares how she is reconnecting with her creativity now and showing up for it.

Here's what we talk about in this episode: 

  • losing touch with creativity
  • the decision of not monetizing writing
  • rebel/questioner tendencies
  • fitting in vs. focusing on who she wanted to be
  • falling into the trap of 'should's' and self-doubt
  • teaching as a career
  • lack of mental space and time to work on new & creative ideas
  • not feeling like an expert
  • sharing your struggles and being vulnerable online
  • finding support and like-minded people
  • differentiating between the voice of inner critic and intuition
  • importance of creating, writing and sharing stories
  • what her day looks like
  • Introvert INFJ personality type
