28. The Artist’s Way, Writing & Finding Your Creative Flow with Vivian Nunez

Thought leadership isn’t about having the hottest take—it’s about standing in your truth. In this conversation with writer and content strategist Vivian Nunez, we explore the power of storytelling, vulnerability, and alignment in creative spaces. Vivian shares how grief shaped her writing and thought leadership, and we discuss why authenticity—not performance—is what truly connects people.

We also unpack the transition from journalism to thought leadership, how AI fits into content creation (without losing your personal fingerprint), and the importance of intuition in creative work. Plus, we talk about The Artist’s Way and our plans to co-lead a community journey through the program.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How do you become a thought leader without forcing it?

• The role of vulnerability in storytelling (and when to set boundaries)

• How AI and automation impact creativity—without replacing personal energy

• Why intuition, synchronicity, and universal signs guide decision-making

• The power of creative alignment—and why The Artist’s Way is a game-changer
