How She Learned to Protect Her Creative Energy

Making room for original thinking in a world full of demands.

Quote Anedria S. Pritchett, Office Administrator IV (Team Supervisor) on Influential Women

I learned to protect my creative energy by directing it where it is valued, rather than forcing it into unwelcoming spaces. Using my discernment has allowed me to find spaces where my ideas can thrive and, if needed, build those supportive environments myself.

Quote Cathy Fitzhenry, Founder, President on Influential Women

I stopped scheduling creativity and started protecting the space it needs unhurried, unstructured time where my innate intuitive intelligence can speak before my calendar does. Ideas don't arrive on demand; they arrive when I've made room for them.

Quote Megan Sandra Cave, Business Development Associate on Influential Women

I've learned to give my creativity a little breathing room, whether that's baking, taking a walk, or having a conversation without an agenda. So much of my work is about bringing people together, and my best ideas happen when I have time to notice what would make someone feel welcomed, connected, or considered.

Time. Timing is everything. Carve out specific time that is simply dedicated to your creativity.
