Catherine Rains went from a job she truly hated as a university career counsellor, to becoming an (almost) full-time artist by doing two things: letting go of inner resistance, and following her joy.
Today, she spends 5 days a month working as a trainer for the Myers Briggs company, which takes a bit of pressure off her art and allows her to focus on the joy of what she does, which she considers not just art, but “an offering”.
It’s amazing to think that when Catherine started with her art she didn’t believe herself to be an “artsy” person, and had no idea where it would lead!
Catherine says, “If you don’t resist where you are, the universe realigns you to where you’re supposed to be”. In our chat she explains how the process of releasing inner resistance really works (and it’s not just a matter of “positive thinking”!), and how following the joy in life can clear a path. She explains, “Even if it’s not the path, it’s a path to the path!”
The main takeaways I took from this chat are:
