Design Recharge

Show notes can be found at: https://rechargingyou.com/reflecting-on-markers-of-growth/ When was the last time you looked through some of your old journals or sketchbooks? I ask because I have been doing a lot of looking at old sketchbooks recently. One reason is I’ve gotten to teach a class I have never taught before, Conceptual Drawing. I LOVE THIS CLASS!!!! It has given me more time to drawn and think about how I have grown as an illustrator and a designer. Even how I have grown as a thinker/problem solver. The other reason is I was asked to speak at Mindset Reboot and talk about how Mindset work is a daily practice. And BOY is it. I kept thinking about how my mindset is really critical to my continuous practice of art. I’ve regularly had unreasonable expectations and had less fun because I wouldn’t allow myself to make mistakes or messes. Have you ever been like that? So hard on yourself it stops your practice of something? As I was prepping for the talk at Mindset Reboot, I started seeing a pa

Debbie Clapper has been a designer and illustrator. Debbie has shifted to doing her art full time. She creates public art works for cities, murals for businesses, rooms for home owners who want something modern and fantastic. Debbie not only creates one of a kind pieces of art (never using a ruler), her background as a designer aids her in getting new work, marketing herself, packaging her pieces, and so much more. Can you draw a line so straight without a ruler like Debbie? Have you ever wanted to ditch the designer hat and go full time with your art? We will find out all about what Debbie has done and how she uses her design chops and entrepreneurial skills to deliver amazing pieces to her customers. I hope you’ll join us this Wednesday, March 16 at 6:30pm GMT / 2:30pm EDT /

Get your ticket for Mindset Reboot 22: Mindset Reboot: https://madexmaker.com/mindset-reboot-conference CODE: MR22EARLY I've been struggling. I really needed the time off last week. I have been trying to do a lot. And getting really frustrated with myself about what I am not accomplishing. This week's topic couldn't have come at a better time. I am not sure about you, but my mindset in certain areas is tip top shape, other areas it looks like I've never worked it out a day in my life. This week I have my favorite Mindset Specialist back on, Mario Quezada. He is going to talk to us about why strengthening our mindset is so important. And that it is not a one and done thing. It is a daily practice. We will also chat about last year's Mindset Reboot Conference and talk about this year's conference. There are a few days left to get the early bird ticket price!!! Ends Feb 28. https://bit.ly/cimr2022 This conference was really good in getting me on track last year and I will share why. Sign up to get t

Episode 403. Aired on Wednesday, February 9, 2022. Love on Designers rolls on this week as I talk about making messes. Being willing to step out and get better, but willing to do the growing out in public. IT IS SCARY!! But when I simply show up to try and make, I get frustrated but I also can have fun. It seems like a mindset workout for me. I would love to know what you think about this episode. I shared a lot of things I don’t think are great. But I was encouraged to look at them a new way. Thanks to the live group and my co-host for today, my friend Chris Martin! This feels like a reveal from the past. Things maybe I should be embarrassed about but I am happy to show you my progress. Things that never went anywhere but kept, because I knew they weren’t finished or done in my life. _______________________ Follow Creatives Ignite: Our website: www.rechargingyou.com Find full show notes at: https://rechargingyou.com/making-messes CAMP 2022...

I can’t think of a better person to kick off Love on Designers. She will take us through her growth as an illustrator, which gives me hope Amy reminds me if I’m willing to put in the work and time to grow and pursue my passion, I will improve. I need to dive deep, seek help and encouragement, and accountability. I need to simply not give up. Will you take a challenge with me during the month of February to pursue a passion like Amy has done? Join me every Wednesday at 7:30pm BST / 2:30pm ET / 11:30am PT / 9:30am in Hawaii.

Is balance in my life even possible? Do I find myself out of balance every time I do a check-up? How often am I checking in with myself or my accountability people (because I have more than one)? Am I consuming too much, or not enough? Am I drawing and making art or nothing at all? Am I using my time to pour into people or am I in hibernation mode? Being out of balance happens to me a lot. Like in the washer when I am trying to wash the bath mats and towels, or the cat bed. The washer starts banging and is all out of balance. It makes a LOT of noise and could mess up a lot of things if I leave it out of balance. My life has been out of balance. Anyone with me on this? I am not sure what I would do if I wasn’t working. I enjoy it. I was talking to my friend Dustin about this. I am not sure I know how to do other things. BUT I used to be someone with hobbies. My friend Anat has good balance, she has been working on it. It seems possible because she can do it, maybe I can. _______________________ Follow Crea

My friend Maura explained an exercise she did for herself lately and she summarized what she learned from 2019, 2020, and 2021. I thought this was extremely powerful. You see I have been in a holding pattern too afraid to get on the edge of the cliff. And this cliff is what is next. But it is unknown to me. It’s a place where my faith has to take center stage and I have to show up and take the action that is needed. _______________________ Follow DESIGN RECHARGE: Our website: www.rechargingyou.com CAMP 2022...

Follow Mario: Mindset Reboot Conference: https://madexmaker.com/mindset-reboot-conference https://MarioQuezada.com https://MadeXMaker.com Because I don’t believe in myself, I think it won’t work. I have self-sabotaged my illustrations, my client opportunities, business ventures, partnerships because I have had conversations in my head with these people. But not included them in the real conversations. My evil diane, rears her head and shows up in full regalia. (All decked out with all the reasons and miles of proof as to why it won’t work.) My energy to hold her back and keep poking holes in her theories are no match for her comebacks and proof. But really it is a ream of blank paper she is holding, because it is fear. She has the ability to shut me down so quick. Do you have an inner self-sabotager? This week I have invited Mario Quezada back on the show to discuss mindset blocks. And I wanted to invite you to send me your questions or even come on camera and share what you have been struggling with

Last time she was on she talked about a red carpet event she created to highlight regular people on the street. God has been using Jodi to love on others and felt called to change direction and start doing art full time. She has taken classes to build her skills and confidence. As she has made this pivot she also changed her body and her mindset. Jodi and I started meeting in January and talking about her goals and plans each week. She asked me to hold her accountable, we pray, and I serve as a mirror for her. She had made the plan to quit her part time job in 2022, but God had other plans.
