Soulful Creating & Feeling Rooted
#201 My Year-Long Sabbatical to Unhook From Biz Culture & Rekindle My Work
Do you ever feel resistance to sharing and super OVER the way things are done? Uninspired and out of alignment with your work? Funky that your business hasn’t caught up to your values? This is the story of how I rekindled my work – and how you can too..
#202 Rekindle Part 1: Stability Before Creativity
Before I went on sabbatical, I was like a rootbound plant that had outgrown its pot. But before I could rekindle my work and feel creative flow again, I needed to expand my root system. Because stability allows you breathing space to be creative.
#203 Rekindle Part 2: Follow the Sparks

#205 Stepping Out of Your Creative Cave & Sharing
To be leaders and create ripple effects, our work needs to live out in the world. But sharing doesn’t just “happen” for quiet folks who may rarely feel ANY nudges to share publicly. Dedicated to helping you step out of your creative cave, without disconnecting from your creativity (or yourself).
#207 Soulful Creating & Transmitting the Energy of an Offering
When we choose to take our work deeper and bring others into it…How do we create offerings that forward our message and mission? How do we share in ways that help people feel our offering? And how do we convey it CLEARLY? I explore all these questions in a really rich, embodied conversation with my friend Ahava Shira.
