flair - showing personality & style

Your job is to bring individuality to everything you do

Current Obstacles:

  • "I struggle to express my unique personality or style."
  • "I fear being judged, misunderstood, or blending in with others."

What are some ways that you can safely experiment who you are, with no fear of judgement?

Finding and cultivating a safe space helps us figure out our authentic style. In our safe space, we can fully let go - no self-shaming, blaming, guilt-tripping, or worrying. Without these barriers, our unique style emerges.

Think about ways that you can feel more comfortable with yourself first. Do you have a cozy nook in your imagination that you can crawl into? What are you doing when you are feeling the most light and free? Who inspires you?

No matter your style or how others perceive you, you are free to express your most authentic values. Building safe spaces for yourself and experimenting with creative activities gives you the confidence to show your authentic self.

expression - unleashing emotion & story boldly

Your job is to let creativity flow without constraint.

Current Obstacles:

  • I feel creatively blocked or uninspired."
  • "I struggle to trust and maintain my creative flow."

What is getting in the way of your creative flow right now?

Our anxieties, worries, stresses, and fears can inhibit our flow of creativity. When we pinpoint those inhibitions, we can eliminate them and allow inspiration to surface again.

Take a step back and rest! Resting gives us the chance to 1) connect to our emotions, 2) understand and work through those emotions, and 3) witness those emotions flow through us in the most natural, expansive way possible. Those emotions flowing through us are our creativity made visible.

presence - showing up fully in the moment

Your job is to bring full attention to each moment, where others can feel your engagement without a word.

Current Obstacles:

  • "I’m distracted by external pressures or my own thoughts."
  • "I struggle to feel fully connected or confident in what I’m doing."

How can you prioritize your enjoyment in each moment?

Remind yourself of this - you are so important that you deserve to feel at peace in each moment, no matter what worries seem to be floating in the air. Toss those worries in the trash, and just enjoy this moment as much as you can.

You are strong and capable of handling whatever happens. All you can do is let go of control and give yourself the gift of presence.

When you prioritize your enjoyment, you may naturally make adjustments - a change in career, learning new hobbies, a perspective shift that empowers you, etc. These adjustments are the small steps that ultimately lead to your vision.

energy - bringing aliveness & movement

Your job is to transform stillness into meaningful action.

Current Obstacles:

  • "I struggle to sustain energy, focus, or motivation over time."
  • "I feel out of touch with what truly excites me or keeps me present."

What feels out of sync right now?

Our energy becomes blocked when our environment, relationships, actions, or overall lifestyle are out of sync. It may take some reflection to figure out what exactly feels imbalanced.

For the circumstances that we are able to change, we can make small adjustments that bring our daily life closer to our values. This could be our workspace, routines, how we allocate our time, what we say "yes" to, etc.

For the circumstances that are out of our control, we can shift our perspective so that we feel at peace despite the external constraints. We can also re-evaluate our boundaries to protect our time and energy more constructively.

brainstorming business ideas

You can think about your brand as both your personality and the impact you leave on others.

Your authentic self is your authentic impact.

  • You can embody the themes of the carnival in your personality.
  • You can embody the themes of the carnival as a foundation to build any area of your work (or life).
  • You can make your audience aware of the themes of the carnival.
  • You can inspire others to also embody the themes of the carnival.
Ask yourself these questions:
  1. Check the keywords above to see if they naturally align with you.
  2. Think of activities you love / might love to do - could you do them as a carnival?
  3. Close your eyes and imagine how it would feel to bring people to your carnival.
  • Does it feel fulfilling for you? If so, why? If not, why not?
  • How are others affected by your carnival?
  • Can you see yourself growing both comfortable and more curious in this role?
You can use any / all spaces as a foundation for your business and life. A space can represent:
  • the foundation that your business is built upon
  • a guide for you to make decisions
  • a temporary or permanent foundation
  • a framework you use for certain processes only
  • how you want to show up in the world
  • how you want to impact others
  • the values that you want to integrate
Why are doll halls so important?

The more clear we are on the role we want to embody & play in the lives of others, the easier it is to give our business a sense of direction and purpose. This is the purpose that grounds us on our path and helps us overcome the challenges that come our way.

As we evolve, we may want to explore other spaces or just remind ourselves what our center is made of. We can lean into these archetypes at any point, whether we commit to just one, are drawn to several, or shift into all of them.
