Episode Summary
In this soulful episode, I take you into a space I believe every creative soul should know about – the Creative Sweet Spot. Too often, we believe we must choose between becoming a skilled professional artist and using creativity purely for healing and self-expression. But what if these worlds could beautifully coexist?
Drawing on my own creative journey and a recent conversation with artist Maggie Parr, I share how honouring both the soulful process of creating and leaning into growth, challenge, and mastery can open new pathways of empowerment through your art. Whether you identify as a professional artist or simply a creatively curious soul, this episode will help you approach your creative life with greater freedom, joy, and intention.
