The Transformed Creative Series with Shaunay Cotton
Darlene Hawley
Ready to release your mental and emotional blocks, experience financial abundance & live your musical dreams freely!?
If you’re like most creatives, you may feel like you’re always on the go, short on time and that nurturing your creativity is just another thing you are supposed to do but don’t have time for. You are probably having thoughts like...
I just don’t have enough energy to keep up with my work and my music passion. I wish I had the confidence to share my talents too...
I want to be musically creative and have an abundant income, but how do I do it without extremes?!?
This is why I want to introduce you to my friend Shaunay. A few years ago she realized it was imperative to her success to take leadership of her mindset and create time for her music. Before her shift, her mind was plagued with negative thoughts like...
Will I be able to financially support myself with my musical creativity? The only thing that makes me feel better is music...
Will these uninspired days in an office behind a desk go away? Am I going to be like this for the rest of my life? Is there ever going to be time to build my dreams into reality?
For months, she was unsure whether she’d ever overcome her disempowering thinking, take the leap to put her music first, and return to the person she was before.
Shaunay learned firsthand how essential managing the thoughts in our head are for success; no matter what our goals are in life!
It is for this reason that she decided to host a FREE online summit: ‘The Transformed Creative - How to Live Your Musical Dreams Freely, Release Your Mental/ Emotional Blocks, & Experience Financial Abundance.’
