What Dreamers Do
Hi, I’m Carla Gover, an Appalachian musician, flatfoot dancer, mama, and DREAMER from Kentucky. I'm on a mission to share fierce love, good humor, and inspiration to help you live a life of creative freedom. I decided to start the What Dreamers Do Podcast to help answer the question: How can we use our gifts and talents to build a better world, and have fun along the way? You’ll also find musings about Appalachia as well as interesting conversations with songwriters, poets, dancers, educators, world-changers, social justice warriors, and other people like you who are working to make a difference using their art, their skills, or just the way they live their lives. On every episode, you’ll hear ideas, conversations, and actionable items to help you unlock your creativity and live your purpose. Grab a mason jar full of sweet tea (or something a little stronger) and pull up a chair, cause it’s time to get YOUR dream on!
What Dreamers Do
Your Creative Permission Slip
Why is it that we don't always make time for doing the things we love? And then when we finally do them (and feel great) we wonder why in the world we waited so long?
In this podcast, I muse about why that might be the case, and argue for why we should all be prioritizing those "love-to-do" things in our lives. I also touch on:
- Why "I Am" are some of the most powerful words in our language and why they should be used with care.
- Why so many of us are multi-talented or multi-passionate, and yet we struggle to own our full awesomeness
- Why being a "Jack-of-All-Trades" is actually a great thing
- Why using tools like affirmations, journaling, and visual aids can be helpful in reprogramming our subconscious minds to help us live our best lives.
And I've also created a free resource for you, a Permission Certificate that you can fill out and display somewhere prominent, so that you have permission to do more of what you love the most.
And in case you didn't get it yet, be sure to sign up for the FREE e-book How to Live Your Most Creative Life.
