Living Life as a Creative with Nicole Gariepy

I had Nicole Gariepy on the show this week to chat all things creativity, life and business and we had a blast!

Nicole is a jewelry designer💍, art gallery owner, former ballerina and host of the Creative Minds, Brilliant life podcast 🎤. Nicole grew up and still lives in the US Virgin Islands, which is truly paradise 🏖️. She believes that the deeper meaning of life so many people are looking for comes through the creative experience in all forms, not limited to creating physical art, but in the feeling we get when we are truly inspired on a soul level. Nicole’s mission is to create more beauty in this world, and share that inspiration so that others do the same, creating a ripple effect that touches people everywhere.

In this episode, we chat about Nicole's background, what a creative day in the life might look like, the reality of creative burnout, and the nuanced experiences of working for oneself versus working for others. We explore the phases of business as a creative and discuss the importance of community on the creative journey. We also explore the cyclical nature of creativity in business.

We talk about the divine ways creativity may appear in your life & the clarity of mind that sober living provides. Lastly, we chat on the intersection of luck and opportunity, and Nicole shares some highlights from her podcasting journey.
