    032: Steal This Imagination Practice to Break Through Creative Blocks and Perfectionism
    May 12 2026

    Your imagination is not a gift reserved for artists and inventors — it is a built-in human superpower you are already using every single day, whether you know it or not.

    Aimee Carlson sits down with writer and artist Sarah Bush to explore the untapped potential of imagination and what it truly means to live and create from a place of confidence and self-trust. Sarah breaks down the four dimensions of imagination — creating, imagining as, becoming, and protecting — and shares why worrying, perfectionism, and fear are all just imagination running in the wrong direction. She also walks through the predictable rhythms of the creative process, including the dreaded messy middle, and why hitting a wall is not a sign you don't belong in the creative space but a sign you are right on track.

    If you have ever told yourself you are not creative, this conversation is your permission slip to think again and to finally give yourself the grace to begin.

    031: How Color and Movement Gave Me Permission to Rewrite My Story
    May 5 2026

    What if the color you were told not to wear was actually the key to unlocking your most authentic self?

    Host Aimee Carlson sits down with her longtime friend Noxolo, a South African educator and creative soul, to explore how something as simple as wearing the color pink became a gateway to deeper self-expression, healing, and joy. Together they unpack the powerful triangle of creativity, permission, and joy and how giving yourself permission in one small area of life opens doors you never expected. From color analysis and personal style to movement meditation and limiting beliefs, this conversation is an invitation to stop conforming and start flowing.

    When you stop resisting yourself, life becomes more expansive, more free, and infinitely more joyful. Permission granted.

    030: Creative Flow and Beginner Mindset for Women Rediscovering Purpose
    Apr 28 2026

    Creativity isn’t something you lose; it’s something waiting for you to return to it.

    In this conversation, Aimee Carlson explores what it really means to reconnect with creativity, especially after time away from it. Through a powerful story of returning to art, we uncover how creative expression is deeply tied to identity, purpose, and spiritual connection. From embracing a beginner mindset to letting go of perfectionism, this dialogue reveals how creativity expands when we allow ourselves to be present, imperfect, and fully human.

    As creativity weaves through parenthood, purpose, and daily life, the message becomes clear: there is always time and space to create when it matters to you. When you permit yourself to follow what lights you up, everything else begins to align.
