    1. Embracing Imperfection with Kendra Adachi

    1. Embracing Imperfection with Kendra Adachi

    Perfectionism can keep us from starting altogether, stop us mid-art, and suck the joy out of the finished creative project. Can you relate? 

    This week on the podcast, Merideth chats with Enneagram One, Kendra Adachi (aka The Lazy Genius) about holding creative goals loosely, embracing imperfection, and becoming the architecture of your creative life. 

    Invitation: 

    1. Kendra's advice: "Ask someone you trust what they believe you bring to the creative process."

    2. Explore The Lazy Genius' Magic Question: "What can I do now to make something easier later?"

    3. Kendra says she lives by Suzanne Stabile's question, "What is mine to do?" Take this question to your journal and see what comes up.

    More Confidence, Less Mom Guilt with The Lazy Genius

    New York Times best-selling author Kendra Adachi is a working mom like all of us. Thanks to her experience, she’s provided us some amazing guidance in her book, The Lazy Genius Way. In this episode, we talk about practical ways to offload things in appropriate seasons, not getting stuck doing things a certain way and staying balanced by becoming more confident in our decisions as moms.
