Be Yourself. There's Nobody Else Like You. The World Needs Your Unique Voice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah - we know this! It's all true, but...
sometimes we falter when it comes to expressing our authentic self on the page or canvas.
We don't always know HOW (or more accurately: we don't know how much or how little to share).
We know, deep down inside, that being authentic in our creativity is the path to profound satisfaction - and perhaps profit as well, but...
something gets in our way; something called Fear.
Join Charlotte Rains Dixon and Karen Caterson, veteran writers and Fear-tamers, in a 75 minute teleclass where we explore the intersection of (your) authenticity + (your) creativity, discuss how Fear gets in the way, AND learn how to work around it!
The intersection of (your) authenticity + (your) creativity has been described as the place where: There's no outside noise - just me, being in the flow, feeling alive and energized.*
You know that place, right? Wouldn't you like to find your way there more often? And on purpose? Instead of falling into it occasionally??
If you're already hopping up and down shouting (or whispering): "I want that!" here's the add to cart button.
If you want to find out more, read on...
We (Charlotte and Karen) recorded a live 75 minute telecall class where we expounded on the intersection of authenticity + creativity.
Then Charlotte presented Just a Little Thing Called Fear, where she shared:
• Why fear is the main reason we don't live authentic lives
• How to start creating from your authentic self right now
• How to get in touch with and overcome the fears that prevent you from your passions.
Once we were rolling with passion (hmmm, that sounds funny), Karen presented Sharing Your Heart vs. Open Heart Surgery, which covered:
• Finding YOUR just-right point, the place where authenticity and creativity intersect - and click
• Differentiating between sharing too much, not sharing enough, and sharing just the right amount
with your audience
• Making a deep connection with your audience using emotion AND reason.
You can get a recording of that class to listen to at your leisure. We'll also send you a nifty e-booklet featuring the main points of discussion and detailing the exercises, so you have written access to them.
All for $37.

To recap, you'll receive:
• A recording of the 75 minute live telecall
• An e-booklet recapping the highlights of the call - including practical exercises to aid in expressing your authentic self!

Karen Caterson, (also known as Square-Peg Karen on the interwebs) is Chief Encourager at Square-Peg People.com - and happens to be allergic to writing in 3rd person - sigh. I sometimes call myself a recovering psychotherapist because I was a practicing therapist years ago - and also because I was (always!) and still am, very interested in people, their stories, and what moves and motivates them. I am vibrantly in love with finding out about, and sharing all I can about, self-acceptance, self-care - and, dare I say it? Self-love! To that end (the sharing bit) I offer encouragement and self-care ideas (especially for the mindfully nonconformist), write many "we're all (beautiful and glorious) bozos on this bus!" type blog posts, created Square-Peg {Life}Support Guides, and will (soon!) reintroduce Square-Peg {Life}Support Sessions (one to one encouragement and Square-Peg support finding fun). Come on over to the blog, Square-Peg People.com, and say "Hi!".
