When embarking on a creative project, people often say they need something I can’t give them. Permission.
I’m not the authority or the all-knowing one who metes out permission. Permission comes from inside. As adults, we decide how we devote ourselves to our creative projects.
While I don’t think permission comes from someone else, I do believe that role models help us see what’s possible. Permission can come from seeing how someone else boldly carves out their own path.
I felt this sense of permission the minute Kristoffer Carter crossed my path almost ten years ago. There is something about him, from his unabashed energy to his ability to connect with anyone, anywhere, that inspired me. Some would call it "unfiltered".
In this episode, we talk about his book, Permission to Glow. He shares four permissions and how he is still on the edge of practicing them daily. We also discussed:
The difference between performing and embodying your message
How Kristoffer found his path to joy through consistent spiritual practice
And much, much more.
