Intentional Creativity with Lauren Lapointe

Flourish and Thrive Ep 11: Intentional Creativity with Lauren Lapointe

In this episode of the Flourish and Thrive radio show, Kate Hartley interviews Lauren Lapointe, otherwise known as The Intentional Creative.

Lauren loves working with dedicated, passionate creatives.  Her mission is to empower clients and give them the tools, skills, confidence, and support to manifest their creative dreams into successful businesses so they can enjoy fulfilling, meaningful lives with flexibility and freedom.

With her background in business and her dream of becoming a successful singer/songwriter coming true, she combined her talents and created a coaching program called 8 Weeks to Your Flourishing Online Creative Business which helps creatives bring their passions to fruition ultimately leading to business success.

15 years ago, Lauren made the very courageous decision to leave her cushy office job to pursue her love of music. Without any formal training, she set herself upon the path to become a singer/songwriter.  Since then she has released three critically acclaimed CDs and has enjoyed international radio play.

Plus, in the episode:

• How Lauren’s coaching program provides her clients with step by step instructions from discovering their creative passion to learning the business and marketing techniques necessary to make their dream come to life and become a profitable business.
• The importance of finding a mentor to help bring out your creativity.
• The value of having the right mindset – to become aware of our self-sabotaging behaviours so that we choose more constructive behaviours.
• Why we need to avoid the “maybe” state.
• We mentioned a book by Brian Tracy: Eat That Frog! – how by getting the worst chore of the day done first frees up mental energy and makes you more productive.

More about Lauren Lapointe:

Living her best life to Lauren is doing things that fill her up, that she loves and giving it back to the world.

Lauren has written a book about creativity,  21 Days to Creativity: How to Develop a Creative Practice, which is available on Amazon.

When Lauren isn’t helping creatives find their voice to turn it into a profitable business, she sings, writes her own songs and teaches yoga as well as meditation.

Lauren’s favourite quote is by Howard Thurman:

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.”

Lauren chose this quote because it is in line with creativity coaching which helps you find what makes you come alive, to share your creativity in a bigger way.  Lauren says, “When we individually come alive, we’re helping the world too.”
