Episode 90: Empowerment, Creative Blocks, and Dishing Out Steamed Broccoli with Pinterest Strategist Meagan Williamson

“I'm creative with my thinking, flexibility, and being myself.” — Meagan Williamson

This week’s episode is about empowering you to share who you uniquely are in your creative process. I’m joined by Meagan Williamson, a Pinterest marketing expert, certified business coach, trained psychologist, and mom based in Canada.

What’s in This Episode:

This episode will leave you inspired to embrace how you create based on the season of life (and business) you are in. In our conversation, Meagan shares her approach to coaching and working with creative blocks by looking beyond the surface level of why you may not be sharing on social media.

Meagan shares that she can’t force herself to be creative. When she does have the energy she does massive brain dumps. She looks across what’s trending in other industries and brainstorms about her unique take on ideas, a tutorial that might help someone, and or answer a question she is getting asked by her community.

Meagan leaves us with advice: To not fall for viral get-rich-quick tactics using Pinterest but instead to focus on slow and consistent growth. She talks about this in terms of focusing on eating greens like steamed broccoli vs. cheese pizza. It’s not sexy but she will help you with sustainable growth and long term results.

Topics Covered:

Meagan’s experience with a leadership exercise in high school and how that shaped her view of creative thinking.

What it’s like to be creative in other areas of your life such as how you dress, work, and define the world. Meagan enjoys creative hobbies like gardening and being in nature. 

Stop trying to be other people on social media, be yourself, she calls it, “Meaganizing.”

What it’s like to honor your energy and the phases of your life and business. She talks about rest and not working.

Meagan talks about her background as a trained psychologist, and how creative blocks are often not about creation but other things in your life like trauma or fear of failure.

Eat Well,
