(A Reflection on Creativity, Self-Belief & the Power of Action)

When did you start taking your ideas seriously?

Were you raised in a family that nurtured creativity—where making things was the norm, where imagination was encouraged, and risks were supported?

Or, like me, did that part of you wake up later—slowly, hesitantly—after years of letting your best ideas slip through the cracks?

I remember the moment the shift happened for me. I used to have so many ideas. And I took none of them seriously.

They’d hit me in moments of inspiration… only to dissolve before they could root. Doubt always arrived just as fast as the idea itself. I’d think:

“That’s too big for me.”

“I don’t have what it takes.”

“I wouldn’t even know where to start.”

And so I didn’t.

Until I saw too many of my own ideas—ideas I’d once written in the notes app, whispered to a friend, or buried in the back of my mind—brought to life by someone else. It stung.

But it also woke me up.

I realised I’d felt the pain of quitting too many times. I wanted to know what it felt like to see something through. To build something from the inside out. To believe in an idea enough to give it a chance.

Then I watched my partner Michael, turn a broken-down caravan into a coffee shop… and then that one into three. It wasn’t magic. It wasn’t luck. It was belief.

Resourcefulness. A “one step at a time” kind of momentum that built something beautiful.

That’s when I learned: An idea is only too big for the person who doesn’t walk toward it.

So I started walking. I started asking better questions. Not “Can I?” but “How can I?”

And wouldn’t you know… when you meet your ideas with belief, the universe meets you right back. Co-creation with the universe begins.

Do you take your ideas seriously?

What made you finally start?

Who demonstrated what was possible?

& how might you start walking toward something today?

If you’re sitting on a vision—big or small—and need a space to bring it to life, I can’t recommend our Gold Coast studio enough. There’s something powerful about creating in a space that holds light, intention and possibility.

When you honour your ideas, magic happens & maybe, just maybe—the world is waiting on your vision next.
