15: Reconnecting with yourself

15: Reconnecting with yourself

Author: Nicole Griebe January 21, 2024 Duration: 37:09

Today I talk about reconnecting with myself after working really hard and having a period of self-doubt. I have a little breathing and journal exercise for you that helped me this week to get out of negative self-talk and worry. I also talk about things that brought me joy this week and give you some coffee shop recs (as per usual).

I really enjoyed recording this episode, it felt very honest and just me talking from the heart so I hope you enjoy!

Nicole Griebe is here to share the unfiltered reality of building a creative business from the ground up. Freelance Diaries: The Art of Creative Living feels less like a formal broadcast and more like catching up with a trusted colleague over coffee. Each episode unfolds as a personal audio journal, where Nicole details the actual week-to-week process of her graphic design career. You’ll hear about the small victories that make it all worthwhile, alongside the inevitable client puzzles and creative blocks that are part of the journey. This podcast digs into the practicalities-how she structures her days, finds inspiration, and navigates the financial ebbs and flows-while never losing sight of the passion that drives the work. It’s a candid look at what it truly means to weave artistry into a sustainable livelihood, full of relatable anecdotes and genuine reflection. For anyone curious about the human side of design or contemplating their own path to independent work, these diary entries offer a companionable and insightful listen, straight from the studio of someone who’s living it.
