How to Live a Creative Life
Manage episode 517524472 series 3690794
What happens when creativity meets motherhood and resilience? In this inspiring conversation, Charla sits down with Natalie Zellers — mom, artist, fitness enthusiast, and founder of Everywear (formerly GymBib) — to explore how one mom turned a simple frustration during a workout into a full-fledged creative business.
Natalie shares her journey from sketching her first prototype to launching a brand that combines practicality, wellness, and art. She opens up about rebranding, battling self-doubt, overcoming anxiety through Joe Dispenza meditations, and rediscovering her love for art as a form of healing.
Whether you're a creator, parent, or anyone chasing a dream, this episode will remind you that the path to creativity is rarely perfect — but always worth it.
TakeawaysTrust your creative spark. Even the simplest ideas can evolve into powerful businesses.
Rejection isn't failure. Every "no" is redirection toward something better.
Meditation and movement heal. Mind-body practices like meditation and exercise are powerful tools for anxiety.
Perfection kills creativity. Let go of control and just create.
Model resilience for your kids. They're watching how you show up for your dreams.
Rebranding can reignite energy in your business and creative direction.
