Four out of five dentists agree…
The lowdown on About The Soufflé
…that Paris Hilton and Erika Jayne’s pop music is practically indistinguishable.
Okay, I totally made up that stat (although I’m one to agree.) It’s just funny to think about dentists bopping out to “The Stars Are Blind” and “How Many Fucks”.
And it does speak to this publication’s DNA. As I like to call it:
If Emma Chamberlain raided Rick Rubin’s brain at BravoCon.
So let’s dive into this thing, shall we…
What is About The Soufflé?
In this newsletter-verse, there’s a bolder, brighter voice to cut through the aforementioned hypothetical DDSs and beloved Bravo babes.
That’s RUPAUL, America’s favorite drag queen. Your North Star of self-expression (and parallel parking hacks.)
“When you become the image of your own imagination, it’s the most powerful thing you could ever do.”
“Creativity today is a kind of shopping process—picking up on and sampling things from the world around you, things you grew up with.” ― RuPaul, Lettin it All Hang Out: An Autobiography
These ☝️ are the vibes you’ll bring to the party.
To punctuate these wise words, he also sings: “Charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and, talent. Trust in the virtues. The rhythm within you. Let your body tell the truth.”
It’s the ‘see you next Tuesday’ of creativity.
Creativity lives in your body. It’s your truth. You just have to get out of your own way to tell it and find the rhythm of your making.
Let your creativity rise above self-doubt
About The Soufflé is here to walk along with the talented parts of you that already exist.
Creativity is inherent to you as a human. While it may feel like some embrace it more, that doesn’t mean they’re ahead and you’re behind.
Being creative is a personal process that can’t be compared. Yet you find yourself doing so (thanks, societal pressure!)
For that reason, unlearning allows you to cultivate creativity more than learning. The gentlest way to embark on this journey is to BE CURIOUS.
You’ll find tools and insights here to get playful and strip back whatever’s in your way to return to your intuitive, creative self.
All forms of creativity are equally celebrated in this space like they were back in grade school, when (finger) painting commingled with the tambourine.
Nothing is force fed. You experiment and experience your own path.
Here’s how it goes down:
Led by curiosity. Powered by a special brand of silliness.
CURIOSITY (Podcast & tutorials) - By looking beyond the obvious topics, expansion can occur. Nothing is off limits. These are stories to browse and insights to stimulate wherever inspiration you need.
REST (Podcast) - Creativity also thrives in inaction. Here you create space during the lofi beats episodes to let your mind wander and zone out in order to tune in. Think of it as body doubling for your imagination.
PLAY (Tutorials and downloads) - The most important creative “muscle” you need to strengthen the ability to allow yourself to begin. By warming up with an activity that is all ready for you to dive into (no more staring at the dreaded blank page), you get to jumpstart the process. This comes in the package of featured posts that deliver a fun, and sometimes weird, topic for you to get playful and imaginative with.
CONNECTION (Posts) - Including niche guides, oracle readings, a “book” club, mood boards, and other delightful treats so you really won’t ghost your creative side (or your intuition.)
PREMIUM (Chat and comments) - Paid subscribers get personalized feedback in the VIP chat hotline, special creative dives, commenting privileges on the posts, and additional downloads, art discounts + perks!
