In Embrace Your Weird, Felicia threads personal anecdotes and plenty of personality through a practical, hands-on guide to finding, rekindling, and enhancing creative passions. Part guided journal and part imaginative workbook, the book covers topics including:
Discovering Your Hero Self - Our one-of-a-kind personal perspective is what makes us special. From unearthing childhood delights to poking around in the present, readers will take stock of what unique ideas and interests makes them "weird" - and how this weirdness can be wielded as a superpower.
Vanquishing Enemies - Negative forces and naysaying voices come from both inside and out. From anxiety, criticism, and regret to perfectionism, procrastination, and fear of failure, step-by-step strategies will help readers confront and conquer these threats to creativity.
Gathering Allies - Creating is often solitary and occasionally scary. Felicia offers tips to cultivate a creative community, set up a network of supportive friends, and fully engage with mentors (and mentees!).
Finding Joy - Playfulness is the root of all creation. Sometimes letting yourself be silly - or even bored - will give your brain room to stretch, explore, and spark ideas.
Starting a Quest - Sticking to daily creative habits primes us to be ready to work when we turn our eye to bigger goals. Felicia stresses the importance of clearing room in life to show up, put the time in, and finish the job.
