Here's a recap of the enlightening conversation


The importance of creativity

Susie emphasizes the vital role creativity plays in our lives, especially for entrepreneurs. She highlights how tapping into our creative side can lead to increased vitality, improved problem-solving skills, and a sense of fulfillment.


Susie points out how as children, we are naturally creative, but societal pressures and negative experiences can stifle this innate creativity as we grow older.


Rewiring the brain for success

Susie explains how our brains are wired for survival rather than success, leading to self-doubt and fear of failure. By engaging in creative activities and exercises, individuals can rewire their brains to focus on abundance and opportunity rather than scarcity and limitation. Susie shares practical tips on how entrepreneurs can incorporate creativity into their daily routines to enhance their business strategies and decision-making processes.


The trans formative power of creativity

Through her award-winning book, Buoyant: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Becoming Wildly Successful, Creative, and Free, Susie offers a roadmap for individuals looking to rediscover their creativity and overcome self-doubt.


Buoyant combines personal anecdotes with practical exercises to help readers unleash their creative potential and navigate challenges in both their personal and professional lives. Susie's approach emphasizes the importance of embracing one's inner artist and viewing creativity as a powerful tool for growth and success.


Taking the first step

Susie encourages readers to start small by dedicating just a few minutes each day to creative activities such as journaling, meditation, or simple art projects (even doodling works). By incorporating these practices into one’s routine, individuals can build courage, trust their intuition, and attract new opportunities into their lives. Susie's message resonates with those seeking a more fulfilling and vibrant existence, free from the constraints of self-doubt and fear.


“I show you how you arrive at the end of your life with no regrets, filled to the brim with having lived resonant, transformational experiences, expressed yourself creatively, shared countless moments with those you love most, and made your indelible mark upon the world so you leave it better than when you arrived.” —Susie deVille, Buoyant
