Author and educator Cheryl Wheeler joins The Inspired Path with Lisa Heidle to delve into the often-invisible layers of the creative process. We discuss how Cheryl mined her subconscious for the inspiration of her latest book release "108 Dreams". You'll also hear how structure, far from stifling creativity, can serve as a framework for greater freedom and why following your intuitive creative nudges may be the most powerful step you can take. We explore the delicate balance between creativity and commerce, and how to honor your artistic instincts while still navigating practical realities.
Whether you're deep in your craft or just starting out, this conversation offers tools, insight, and encouragement for building a creative life from the inside out.
