Every Monday in 2025 there will be a new journal prompt in the Year of Hope classroom in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave them in the comments at the bottom of that page so we can discuss this as a group. Practicing hope in community is MAGIC.

What is in that space between hoping for a better future for everyone and existential dread?

THIS IS AN EXHAUSTING PLACE TO BE.

It's more intense, but it's not different from the place where creative dreaming has always happened - at the intersection of facing all of your fears/limiting beliefs/"stuff" and believing in the magic of who you really are.

We've ALWAYS had to face the hard stuff AND hold onto our brightest vision for the future. AT THE SAME TIME.

This has always been tricky.

As I've explored how to handle the "extra trickiness" of this lately what I keep coming back to is...

The era of being able to manifest big dreams and “make shit happen” on hard work and positive thinking is over. It’s time to go deeper.

There is so much richness, magic, healing and possibility in the deep.

Because on the surface it feels hard to hold these conflicting feelings but in the deep, it's actually really easy and obvious that OF COURSE I have plenty of space for both.

AND

They inform each other.

In the deep, my existential dread is showing me the way to new dreams. Our dreams are a way that we respond to the world and there are so many new dreams ready to be born to help create a better world.

In the deep, my creative callings help me process all of my existential dread and show me what "living my best life" means in these times.

It's all connected.

Any time we get stuck, the answer is to go deeper.
