Have you ever found yourself in a YouTube Black Hole before? When you start to look at “just one video” and end up giggling at cat videos an hour later. The struggle is real.
To save you from suffering from this contagion, we’ve rounded up four of our favourite, inspirational interviews and speeches by brilliantly creative women including Marie Forleo, Brene Brown, Elizabeth Gilbert and the amazing Oprah Winfrey.
Sit down and enjoy a more productive YouTube binge this weekend with a little help from us.

Marie Forleo on Heart, Hustle & Intuition: The Good Life Project
https://www.youtube.com/embed/4q-7gLyHgPc Marie is absolutely incredible. Her story is one we think so many people will be able to relate to. A beautiful recollection of a young woman finding her “why”, following her passion and always working from the heart.
She also has her own channel and releases a new video every Tuesday where she answers a question from her community. Eerything Marie does comes from the heart. She is a grounded person and will bring a smile to your Tuesday if you subscribe to her channel.

Brene Brown: Daring Greatly to Unlock Your Creativity
https://www.youtube.com/embed/kAk4cwjvJ0A An interview guided by Chase Jarvis, a true creative and artist (photographer) who wears his heart on his sleeve, this captivating discussion between him and Brene will take you on a journey for what it’s like to be an artist in this day and age. Brene provides clarity and guidance to an otherwise murky path to success.

Elizabeth Gilbert: Life After Eat, Pray, Love
https://www.youtube.com/embed/UwBRQsazF2Q We love that Elizabeth Gilbert speaks so bravely about the struggles of owning a creative mind and working in a space where you have to open yourself up to being completely vulnerable and at the same time, be able to separate the outcome of how others perceive your craft from your ability to continue to do it so that you can protect it and keep it sacred.
We know that we can all suffer from worrying about what other people think and so we just love hearing Elizabeth explain her perspective on creativity and creation. This video is a good one to revisit from time to time.

Oprah Winfrey: Life, Career & Leadership
https://www.youtube.com/embed/6DlrqeWrczs It’s Oprah so we feel like she needs no explanation whatsoever. In this interview she gives the perfect example of why it’s important to “back yourself in”. She always had unwavering self belief which propelled her on her journey to becoming the most influential woman in the world.
