When did you sign up to measure yourself against an “ideal woman” who never existed?
When did you decide that you weren’t enough just as you are?
If you’re like most people, you never actually made these choices.
They were just… there.
Invisible rules floating around in the background, shaping your decisions, making you feel like you’re falling short of some standard you can’t quite name.
Here’s what I’ve learned after 50+ years of exploring every path to freedom I could find:
Most of the rules we’re following?
We never agreed to any of them.
The Problem We’re All Living
We’re swimming in invisible agreements we never signed. Some inherited from family (“Good girls don’t…”). Some absorbed from society (“You should be grateful for what you have”). Some literally invented by marketers decades ago (hello, 10,000 steps and 8 glasses of water).
These rules feel so real, so true, so obviously right that we never think to question them.
But what if they’re not?
My Art Showed Me the Way
I’ve been creating art that breaks conventional rules for years. No plan, no “this is how it’s supposed to look,” just following what wants to emerge in the moment.
Every piece I create ignores somebody’s idea of how art should be made:
- Too many focal points
- Colors that “shouldn’t” work together
- Mixing realistic and abstract elements
- Letting intuition guide instead of composition rules
And you know what? The art that emerges is more alive, more interesting, more authentically mine than anything I could have ever planned.
Then I Started Facilitating Freeflow Painting Workshops
Freeflow Painting is a profound self-inquiry process that happens to use paint and paper as tools (think meditation objects, not art class). I watched person after person have breakthrough moments when they stopped saying “I “can’t do this’ and started asking “What if I let myself?
But here’s what really got me: The same questions that helped people break through creative blocks worked everywhere else too.
The Connection Was Obvious
The voice that whispers “people like me don’t do that” in your head? It’s the same voice that says “art should look a certain way.”
The invisible fence you’ve built around your life? Same construction as the rules about what makes “good” art.
The freedom you feel when you stop trying to control the outcome of a painting? That’s available in every area of your life.
Welcome to The Freeflow Rebellion!
This is where art meets conscious living.
Where we question everything we’ve been told is “good.”
Where we remember that most limitations are optional.
What you’ll find here:
- Myth-busting moments that shatter assumptions in 30 seconds
- Stories behind my rule-breaking art and what they teach about living authentically
- Simple experiments in trusting your inner compass over external shoulds
- Deep dives into books and ideas that expand what’s possible
- Permission to be unapologetically, completely yourself – always
This isn’t about throwing all structure out the window. Some rules serve us. But so many of the invisible agreements we’re living by were made by people trying to sell us something, or based on averages that represent no real human who ever existed.
It’s about conscious choice. Looking at the rules you’re following and asking: “Did I actually agree to this? Does this serve who I’m becoming? Or am I just doing it because everyone else is?”
Here’s What I Know:
The same creative force that flows through my art when I stop controlling the outcome? It wants to flow through your whole life.
The aliveness you feel when you break a rule that was never yours? That’s your authentic self saying hello.
The relief when you realize you don’t have to be normal? That’s freedom.
