Hello Creatives!

We are heading into our Summer Scheduling where we slow down on the recording a bit and speed up on our creating!

Place your attention on what you want to nourish, do it enough and you may start to notice resistance. You may feel the twinge of how and why it can’t, but times are changing in front of us and you are here — in this life, and on this page because you have something to share.

Time to create it.

Thanks for tuning in!Every up level requires something of us. If you are looking for someone to help navigate the potential you know you are walking into — schedule a connection call — that’s a quick chat to ensure a good fit. Another person to hear you, see what is just outside your periphery and echo back your ideas can make such a big, big difference - -between someday and now.

Kate’s Schedule: 🔗katebrentoninspires

Also keep your eyes peeled for a summer offering to Create more than we Consume. It’s for women.

Hello Creative One —

This morning’s session is lit.

Grab your ☕️ and enjoy your Sunday Stack.

If you are too busy — then you need this episode even more.

See you inside,

Kate

🔥Podchat Transcript Excerpt

“Here's the pivot:

We're supposed to enjoy our lives.

We're supposed to have a fire that's burning,

that sometimes is a bonfire and sometimes is an ember,

not constantly birthing and doing at a high voltage,

but also not constantly hidden in the ash of the hearth.

That's what Tend the Flame is about:

Gathering, kindling, creating that reciprocal flame

🔥 You know, fire brings comfort and calm.

It draws humans still.

And second best doesn't do it.

LED candles don't do it.

I love salt lamps.

They don't do the same thing.

Nothing captivates like the fire because it's alive.

You are alive.

The thousand things are not alive.

You bring the thousand things alive.

When you understand that an hour of focus can give you back weeks of confusion and you are ready to harness the forward motion, click here

Hello Creative One —

Here is your Sunday Stack. If you have been following along we are moving into the action of “no” with the stabilizing force of being honest with where we are and where we are going.

Each episode stands alone, yet if you are in a spiral, head on over to this episode below and go on the journey of tending your flame.

Why would I think you are spiraling? March is giving hints of wild ride, epic rebirths and New. To have new, we have Old. To have Old, we have endings.

If we create a space to sit in our center and stay as connected as possible to the present, we have everything we will ever need. Even while there is laundry and lists, taxes and troubles, we are here. Let’s remember that.

*Please note, I did not say want. I didn’t say you’d get what you want….you’d get what you…you know the tune.

Clear it out and create a life you want to wake up to,

Kate

As soon as you say you are off sweets, you have to have a chocolate.

As soon as you say, I’ll exercise everyday — you stop. Until, you don’t until you have enough fire or momentum that you blow past a previous indecision to a new commitment.

Universal law states that for every action there is an equal reaction. So as soon as you decide to up level anything, we expect resistance to knock on the door, and it is our job to send her elsewhere or put her to work.

Let me know what you are taking captive this week & thank you for tuning in to the Sunday Stack.

🔗📚 Here's that book resource I mentioned.

Also, remember to come to the 30 minute live co-work for our subscriber family

📆Focus to Flourish February 26th 12- 12:30 EST

Why?

* Have you ever brought your to-do list to a co-work space where you set your intention and worked on it without wandering away to get a drink, empty the dishwasher, or scroll? Sh*t gets done quickly.

* It’s a thank you for this growing community.

* It’s a way to make our Sunday Stack’s more tangible in our lives.

What?

* We will do a quick check-in to set an intention for the work session.

* We will mute ourselves and create. That can mean write, delete your e-mail sent folder (which is a real thing we all need to be doing), get your to-do list together, sketch out a blog post — whatever you need.

* We will also select a focus for the following month. This has been such a valuable practice for me. I have a focus for the year, and a focus for the month that I break down into weekly goals professionally, personally and spiritually. It has been really helpful.

* This one is for EVERYONE, free & paid subscribers 💚.

That’s it. No pitch. No hitch.

It helps me practice what I write and look for ways to harness the power of community for the good. I think if we focus on flourishing clarity and confidence will follow.

Hope to see you there.

📍I will post the zoom link on 2/26, but I wanted you to mark your calendars.
