Earn the gifts at the finish line: Stumbling Toward Genius Ep 10

In this episode of Stumbling Toward Genius, you’ll hear the story of a book I wrote that changed a life-long narrative I’d been telling myself.

In this episode I will share:

  • A lifetime obsession of mine
  • How I felt ashamed of this passion
  • The project that reversed this shame
  • The gifts that I got from this project
  • Creative Competency: stay with it to receive the gifts waiting at the finish line.

Write ONParis travel creativity guide art writing – live, online coaching group for writers with a project beginning February 17, 2020.

Visit Paris Like an Artist 

Write Your Heart Out in Paris writing retreat and workshop in Paris. Only a few spots left!

The hotel where we stay when I lead groups in Paris is the Hotel Delambre. It’s a great location (might seem far from tourist sites but that’s a PLUS and there are plenty of metro lines to get anywhere quickly.) The staff is great here and the street is a real Parisian street, not a tourist mecca. Tell them I sent you!

Stumbling Toward Genius is written and produced by Cynthia Morris and Original Impulse. Engineering by Jason Camps of Just Launch Media. Show music by Evan MacDonald.

I’d be so grateful for your help with a review of the podcast Stumbling Toward Genius on iTunes.

Creative Success Stories

"Being coached by Cynthia highlighted my unrevealed gifts. Our time together has revolutionized the way I work and lead my companies.

Her wisdom about creativity and productivity has added value to every area of my life from personal health to creativity and generating wealth.

I would have never imagined that this powerhouse of a creative would help me grow, connect to my heart and improve my companies in so many areas. Cynthia’s coaching is like supercharging a normal engine; there is no comparison."

John Marsh
Founder, Marsh Collective

"For years, I struggled with this belief that I wasn't good enough, that I wasn't a real writer, that I wouldn't be able to follow through. Your coaching and support opened something in me that had gone dormant.

With your words in my ears and my heart finding new excitement, I pushed the words across the page. My first novel is complete. You, dear Cynthia, helped me lay the dominoes. I can’t thank you enough for the motivation, the inspiration, and the reminder that I was meant to write."

Tabetha Hedrick
Author

"Cynthia has given me my writing voice. I can now say I am a writer. My newsletter readers tell me how much they love receiving it!

Cynthia has a great spark of life that just shines out. She engages in a way that encourages you to challenge yourself as a writer and is there to help pull you out if you get stuck or lost."

Ruth Dent
Artist

"Cynthia helped me drive a short story across the finish line. I recommend Cynthia if you want to learn about your own writing process in an experiential way and get practice on things like letting go of perfectionism for a greater goal."

Roseanne
Writer

"Cynthia helped me so much to develop a writing practice. I love her approach to combining creativity and action. It's gentle and effective and highly self compassionate."

Laila Atalah
Writer

"Because of my work with Cynthia, I have been able to embrace my artist's path and choose a lifestyle that truly speaks to my soul. Instead of trying to be and do everything, I now follow my true desires with courage, joy and serenity.

Cynthia is intuitive, down-to-earth, straightforward and honest. She can read between the lines, and she never lets me run away, give in and give up. Cynthia is a fabulous mentor and an amazing artist."
