Okay, confession time. I posted a new YouTube video, and it's sitting at 29 views. I'm pretty sure a few of those are me checking if it's still there. 😂 Detective Comparison has been camped outside my analytics all week, whispering "other people's videos have more views." And I've been telling him what I tell you: ain't no Creative Police. So here's the video. It's me talking about what it's really like to run a community of 7,000+ people. The messy parts, the surprising parts, and the things I wish somebody had told me at the start: 👉 https://youtu.be/4pvtcndiY-4?is=rtYQjRmX-qaO4Dk6&views If you have a few minutes, I'd love for you to watch it. And if you have a thought, a question, or a "girl, same" moment, drop it in the YouTube comments. I read every single one. No pressure at all. I just wanted you to hear it from me instead of from the algorithm. 💛 And if you've been sitting on something you made, posted, or shared and it's not getting the attention you hoped for, tell me about it below. We can keep each other company. 🍂 Now go make something. — Meka

Tell me your weekend plans… but GIFs ONLY. 👀 No explanations. No context. Not one word. 😂 Just drop a GIF (or a few 👀) that tells us what you’re getting into this weekend. Then go through the comments and try to guess what everybody else has planned. 😂 I’ll go first… and apparently my weekend involves a little planning and a whole lotta REST! Okay, Creative Besties… what are YOU getting into this weekend? GIFs only! 👇🏾

Hey Creative Besties! Just a little reminder that Creative Reset for the Soul is happening tonight at 6:30 PM EST. ✨ I'm looking forward to slowing down, creating, and spending some time with you. When it's time to join, just head over to the Calendar, click on tonight's event, and you'll find the link there. Come as you are... and I'll see you at 6:30! 💜🎨

My newest YouTube video is up, and this one is for anybody who keeps saying: “I’ll create later.” “I just need more time.” “I need to get motivated first.” “I’ll finish it when I’m in the mood.” But honey… sometimes it’s not procrastination. Sometimes it’s fear. Fear of messing it up. Fear of not liking what you make. Fear of finishing it and realizing it still doesn’t feel good enough. Fear of being seen. Fear of proving to yourself that you actually do care about creating again. In this video, I’m talking about why we avoid the creative thing we say we want to do — and how that avoidance is often our nervous system trying to protect us, not proof that we’re lazy or unmotivated. So before you beat yourself up for not creating, I want you to watch this. Because the goal is not to shame yourself into making something. The goal is to feel safe enough to begin again. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ohivjFHQhc Then come back and tell me: What creative project have you been avoiding — and do you think it’s really procrastination, or could it be fear? No judgment. We’re just being honest with ourselves over here. — Meka

Alright Creative Bestie… I gotta know. 😂 What’s the most you’ve ever spent on a single art or craft item? It could be anything: 🎨 Markers 🖌️ Paints ✂️ Cutting machines (Cricut, Silhouette, etc.) 📸 Camera equipment 🧵 Sewing machines 💻 iPads & Apple Pencils 🖨️ Printers 🧶 Yarn 📚 Journals …or that one thing you convinced yourself you absolutely needed. 😅 Tell us: ✨ What was it? 💰 About how much did it cost? (If you don’t mind sharing.) ❤️ Was it worth every penny… or do you have buyer’s remorse? No judgment here—we’re just enabling each other… I mean… learning from each other. 🤭 I’ll be down in the comments too! 👇🎨
