Ever feel like there’s an invisible script running your life—one that keeps telling you what you can’t do? You set out to chase a dream, start a business, or even wear that bold outfit you secretly love, and suddenly, a voice pipes up with reasons why you shouldn’t.


You don’t have the experience.

You’re not talented enough.

You’ll probably fail—and in front of an audience, no less.


Sound familiar? That, my friend, is a limiting belief—a sneaky little story that keeps you stuck in place, often without you even realizing it.


Where Do These Stories Come From?

Many of the limiting beliefs we carry aren’t truly our own. They’ve been passed down from childhood, society, past experiences, and even well-meaning loved ones who thought they were keeping us safe. Maybe a teacher once suggested creativity wasn’t your strength, or a family member casually remarked that “people like us” don’t take big risks or start businesses. Over time, these messages fade into the background, becoming unconscious agreements—beliefs we accept without question. Through my Warrior Goddess Training facilitator journey and apprenticeship with the Ruiz Family, I learned how these unseen influences quietly shape our choices until we choose to break free.


But here’s the truth: just because you believe something doesn’t make it true or real.


The Power of Creative Expression

So, how do you rewrite the script? How do you break free from those old, outdated stories?

One of the most powerful ways is through creative expression, specifically, Cosmic Smash Booking. Cosmic Smash Booking is an intuitive, playful blend of art journaling, writing, and intentional creativity that helps you tap into your inner wisdom and rewrite the beliefs that no longer serve you. It’s not about being a "good artist" or making something perfect. It’s about bypassing your logical mind, diving into your subconscious, and allowing new, more empowering stories to emerge.

How Cosmic Smash Booking Helps You Shift Your Stories

  1. Brings Awareness to the Stuck Story: You can’t change what you don’t see. Through layers of paint, words, and imagery, Cosmic Smash Booking helps you witness the belief that’s been running in the background. When you see it on the page, it becomes separate from you—something you can question, challenge, and transform.

  2. Engages Your Whole Brain: Unlike traditional journaling, which relies on words alone, Cosmic Smash Booking engages both sides of your brain. The creative process allows you to bypass overthinking and tap into your intuition, making it easier to access deeper truths and new possibilities.

  3. Transforms Fear into Play: Fear thrives on seriousness, but creativity thrives on play. When you give yourself permission to experiment—splash paint, scribble words, rip pages, collage images—you disrupt fear’s grip and invite curiosity instead.

  4. Creates a New Visual Narrative: Once you’ve uncovered an old belief, you get to rewrite it—literally. Through color, symbols, and words, you craft a new, empowering story that feels expansive and true. Instead of "I’m not good enough," your page might say, "I am wildly capable." Instead of "I’ll probably fail," it might say, "Every step I take is a step toward growth."


What Story Are You Ready to Rewrite?

Take a moment and ask yourself: What belief is keeping me small right now?Is it actually true—or just an old story I’ve outgrown?

And most importantly—what do I want to believe instead?


If you’re ready to smash through those limiting beliefs, Cosmic Smash Booking is an incredible tool to help you do just that. Let’s turn the page on self-doubt and start creating the story you want to live.
