Ep 6: Dreaming of a More "Colorfull" Future with Robin Oloyede

French Kissing Life

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if every child could see themselves as the hero of their own story? This heartwarming episode is a celebration of that very idea, as I'm joined by Robin Oloyede co-founder of Colorfull Plates.
At Colorfull Plates, Robin and her business partner are revolutionizing the way children perceive themselves—one imaginative product at a time. Robin a former marketing director and mother of two, who launched Colorfull Plates to empower her son's dream of becoming an astronaut. She recognized the importance of providing inclusive tools for imaginative play and imagery, nurturing self-confidence in children to pursue their aspirations.
Topics covered:

• Colorfull Plates, the mission of the company, and its growth.
• Self-reflection, patience, and the joy derived from the work in overcoming business challenges.
• Future developments and expansion of Colorfull Plates.
• Encouraging children to see themselves as they imagine and dream.
• Creation of books with a focus on various professions.
• Inventiveness and small pleasures.

Here are some actions you can take whether you have 5 minutes or 50:

• If you have 5 minutes, read this article which does a really great job at summarizing why imagination is important and how you can tap into it.
  • https://cindygoesbeyond.com/2021/10/27/tapping-into-the-power-of-imagination/
• If you have 50 minutes, I’m suggesting another idea from this article. Rearrange the familiar into something new. Decluttering a room or your whole house and rearranging living spaces is an excellent way to ramp up your imagination. Move furniture around. Get rid of excess. Get creative with decor. Uncluttered spaces allow for a better flow of energy which positively affects imagination and creativity.
• If you have longer, check out this resource, which is an 8-day imagination challenge. It gives you ideas for expanding your imagination by doing one activity a day for 8 days. Just one heads up, the link I’m sharing does have a .pdf it references that no longer seems to be active. But the URL I’m sharing in the show notes still has all of the information you need to complete the challenge; you just don’t have a pretty .pdf to go with it.
