About this podcast:
If you’re gonna listen to The Brilliant Creative, ya gotta know a couple things!!
- The definition of WGITWA: What Gets in the Way!!! From negative thinking, to old stories, to perfectionism, to comparison, to limiting beliefs and so much more. A LOT of stuff gets in the business owners’ way. I could talk about this forever. Which is why the podcast is happening!!!
SIDENOTE: Yes, I made up the word WGITWA. That’s what we creative people do right? I’m a big fan of making up words. And if you have your own business...you can make up all the words you want!
- The goal for this podcast is for you to leave with ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE..meaning, after you listen, you feel able to be, do or have something that you didn’t before. I might offer some coaching homework. I will always offer journal prompts and questions that should be HELPFUL and FAST, and very often, I will offer new ways of thinking. These are called mindsets. If you wanna be a successful entrepreneur, you need to think like one!
In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover:
- Examples of WGITWA, and how they can hold you back in your business
- Learn how perfectionist thinking was harmful to me in my 23 years of owning businesses (and how it was helpful!)
- Identify common perfectionist beliefs that might be holding you back
- Learn new beliefs that can help create a fresh mindset around perfectionism
- Coaching homework in the form of: Choosing two or three fresh + empowering mindsets and putting them in front of you today!

What people are saying about the podcast:
Focused, relevant and sooo likeable!!
The Brilliant Creative Podcast is a well structured and relatable conversation! In each episode Angela focuses on a particular skill set creative entrepreneurs need and gives us the tools to sharpen that skill. She shares her experiences as a creative business owner, her successes and identifies fears around failure. She is a great cheerleader in a business where we often feel alone as we navigate the world of our niche skills. The end of the podcast generally includes a light homework assignment that is actionable and thought provoking. Listening to this podcast feels like sitting at a coffee shop and getting the full benefit of Angela’s attention! I highly recommend her easy going yet focused coaching style and can’t wait for more episodes!
Thanks Suzi! So many more episodes are on the way. I hope you all feel like we are sitting down together at your favorite coffee shop and getting down to business!!!
