2 Keys To Doing What You Love

SONAL Welcome to my brand new Do What You Love mini series. In this series I am chatting with people who have mastered this art and I ask them the same three questions:      How did you find the confidence to embark on 'doing what you love' instead of settling for a 'sensible job'?    What sacrifices (if any) have you had to make, and has it been worth it?   How did you develop your mindset to believe you can make a living doing what you love?     These are questions I was desperate to ask people when I was trying to figure out how to escape work I hated and do what I love.   In this second episode of the mini-series we have Sonal Nathwani as our guest who is  an incredibly talented painter of expressive florals &amp; dreamy landscapes.  Sonal imparts incredible the wisdom needed to pursue the desire to do what you loved along with her practical experience of doing so.   She encourages us to notice the things you can't stop thinking about, and trust that. That you don't need to be using your brain so much because your soul knows.   Enjoy the episode and let me know what stuck with you by dropping me an email at hello@kiacannons.com    ABOUT SONAL Sonal took the scenic route to get to where she now stands on her career path. She decided to leave the finance industry after her second son was born, to live ‘the creative life’ and can now happily say she's a painter.   As well as paintings on canvas, Sonal likes to paint on any surface that she feels needs to be beautified. This naturally led her to the world of surface pattern design. Sonal usually starts with a painted or hand drawn motif and then digitally develops the artwork to create bold and colourful designs for products and textiles. She licenses her artwork to several companies for home decor items and accessories, as well as art prints and textiles.       CONNECT WITH SONAL https://www.instagram.com/sonaln/ sonalnathwani.com https://www.facebook.com/sonalstudio/     MENTIONED IN THE PODCAST   Passage To Purpose Course.  Finally live your soul's purpose. https://www.kiacannons.com/purpose   Join my monthly membership and learn how to thrive as a creative woman: www.kiacannons.com/membership

Hosted by Kia Cannons, a Purpose Coach &amp; Intuitive Artist. A podcast dedicated to the art of doing what you love with your one wild life. Expect conversations on spiritual awakenings, stories about amazing signs from the universe, and practical tools to align with your soul purpose.

I recently started listening to this podcast and I am absolutely DELIGHTED! I’m late to the podcast party and I’ve found many are rather bland or seem very scripted. But not here - there is nothing but genuine positivity and honesty, while also keeping it real! It’s not a preachy podcast, rather you laugh and cheer for her every step of the way! I especially appreciate her vulnerability in talking about the difficult things and not making it seem as though life is a happy stroll down flower lane! I’m hooked and you will be too! Love her accent as well!! An added bonus!!

Fabulous!!

Happy Hacks

In this little 6 minute episode I share a recent Aha-moment I had around WHY I self-sabotage sometimes. I have always known I, at times, avoid doing the things I really want to do, but I've not unpicked exactly why I do it. Today I figured out a strong reason why, and came up with a plan for what I will do when I notice this tendency creeping in.

Episode 19: Lovely habits

In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Cassie of Wanderlust Skulls. Cassie creates the most beautiful art - hand-painted buffalo and longhorn skulls, she not only paints them but adorns with crystals, gold accents, all with the most balance and magic.  We talk openly about our belief systems, God, self-worth, valuing your craft, creative intuition and Cassie shares tons of value with practical tips and advice for creatives just starting out or hitting blocks. You don't need to be creative to get a ton of value from her insight and experience around finding her purpose and honouring the call to do a thing thats whispering inside you to do or explore. Sit back and enjoy an hour of honesty and inspiration.   About Cassie Cassie Everson-Martin is the creative visionary behind Wanderlust Skulls. A mid-western wife and mother, she finally gave into the god-given talents of her artistry in fall of 2016. And, the perfect canvas ended up being bone. Cassie's journey from feeling like a lost SAHM and ex-retail worker to global art entrepreneur happened quickly when she began to fully lean into her faith, and understand that God makes no mistakes when he gives you talents to bless the world with. After ignoring the same idea that ate away at her for well over two years, she began, and never turned back. Two years, 5 countries, and over 270 art pieces made with buffalo and longhorn skulls later, Cassie is on a mission to create incredible legacy art pieces that will inspire and elevate any space in your home. But more than that, she has found the need to help other artists (especially mothers) break the "broken artist" mindset and set out to use their unique talents, and understand their worth. Cassie is dedicated to helping break the barriors of old belief that too often take place in the mind of artistic creatives.  Where to find Cassie: Instagram Facebook Website   Show notes  Tap here to join the Soul Wealth Club - my private Facebook group for sharing with you all the key concepts, notions and ideas that have resulted in 12 months of serious inner development and fulfillment.

Episode 4: Making decisions without my mind!

Thought I would document my health journey from not being able to walk for 9 months due to chronic pain, to being diagnosed with Hashimotos, an autoimmune disease, to where I am now, largely pain free and on the verge of reversing the autoimmune disease. In this episode I share my journey and more importantly share all the things I did to try and get better. I have no idea whether one thing has had the most impact or whether it is a culmination of many things, but here's my story. I hope if you're experiencing anything similar, my story might be helpful to you or someone you love.   This is a long video, so here are the top 10 things I did that I feel had an impact:   1. Change in diet. Switching to an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. Going dairy-free + grain-free. 2. Accepting the pain, not getting caught up in the emotion around being in pain. Allowing the as-is (Michael A Singer type thinking) 3. Meditating 4. Writing morning pages (see The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron) 5. Educating myself on Neuroplasticity (see NOIgroup, David Butler, Prof Lorimer Mosely and the book Explain Pain and the Protectometer handbook) 6. Faith. I believed I would get better or find a way to live a fulfilling life despite the debilitating pain. Faith that life is always working for me and not against me. 7. Talking to people about my health challenge, which often lead people to link me to other people who could help me. 8. Walking. Bravely walking and putting what I learned about Neuroplasticity into practise. Being brave believing pain can't hurt me, walking cam't make it worse and despite huge fear doing it anyway. 9. Listening to people talking about Neuroplasticity and great mindsets when my mindset took a dip, in order to strengthen my belief. 10. Accepting the as-is. On flare up days, no catastrophizing, just allowing and looking for the lessons or the opportunity for growth on the other side of the pain boulder! I would add my coach Jacqueline Hurst helped me enormously on this journey by teaching me how to have a great relationship with food and therefore feel no restriction around my new inflammatory lifestyle. Feel free to hop on over to Instagram and join in the conversation with my community about this topic!

#55: How to Make Your Dreams a Reality

In this episode I dive a little deeper into something I briefly mentioned in my last episode around having difficult conversations with yourself and making space to ask yourself questions and most importantly waiting for the answer. Also, as I've had several requests to share how I release limiting beliefs I take you through the step-by-step process I have found I've put together from all the work I've done around this subject and how this works for me. Let me know if this was helpful to you. p.s. Are you constantly posting on IG but not seeing the results you desire?  I am so impassioned at helping you have success, because I believe we should all be doing what we love, that this Summer I am launching ‘Instagram School’ - an on-line programme for you to learn how to create a thriving business on Instagram!   To celebrate the upcoming launch I have put together a time-saving 7 step framework for you to pinpoint the value you need to give and therefore the content you need to create.  I also cover how to sell your work without feeling like you’re talking sales all the time!  The tutorial is called 7 Steps to Create Content that Converts and is a little gift for those of you who would like to be notified about the Instagram School launch.
