Episode 059: Take the Pressure Off with Julianne Holland

Julianne Holland aka Jules, owner of Bella Terra Firma is an incredibly talented artist living in the Australian desert. She didn’t let her remote park ranger job stop her from being creative, in fact it encouraged her creativity. In this conversation she shares her journey to starting a business from curiosity and picking up new modes of art when she is feeling stuck. By taking the pressure off herself she created beautiful embroidered botanical art onto hats which later enabled her to quit her job to pursue her art passion full time. She shares the importance of connection and the power of creative problem solving.

 

TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

Creativity can’t be automated, creative problem solving is a superpower. It’s the core to being human and having connection. When you create from a place of play  you take the pressure off yourself. As an artist you have to be very careful who you absorb information from, because even if someone means well, they can plant a seed of doubt which can take a lot of unlearning.
