My guest today is a nationally recognized artist, accomplished educator, and driven creative coach named Carrie Seid. Carrie has produced and taught art most of her life and, while she’s still a creator, she also dedicates time to helping others create. Through her Creative Catalyst Training, a holistic program of workshops and face-to-face sessions, Carrie helps creative individuals to re-calibrate their mindset about their potential, while giving them complete permission to be themselves. Carrie acknowledges that making art demands her best, so that’s what she gives. She loves to push what’s possible and help others raise the bar, and whether she knows it or not, in my short time with Carrie, she did this very thing for me. I truly enjoyed our conversation, I found it inspiring, and I hope you do as well.
In our conversation, we discussed art as the study of the self, having curiosity, not having curiosity, the x-factor, creativity as a living entity that needs to be nurtured, the collective unconscious, the shadow, information that we are simply channeling, watching scenes versus writing them out, what the body knows but consciousness doesn’t, being aware of what’s being produced, the collective unconscious hides the shadow of our society, art and comedy as a presentation of the collective unconscious, courage as a big part of honoring your creative urges, being most connected with others when we’re most connected with ourselves, connection through vulnerability, the presence of God in a movie theater, 99% of the country is conservative, people and countries always decline, what it means to be who you are, feeling so different with time, everything is energy and that’s all there is to it, you don’t have to love you are being loved, behaving based on others ideas and trying to match it, the God of America, Ex-Mormons and the Religious Shelf, and that when you’re an artist you are Mother Nature.
