Episode Fourteen.) Harnessing the Power and Potential of Your Imagination with Sandrina Krammer
It is such a pleasure to be sharing this fascinating conversation with my wonderful friend Sandrina Krammer, all about harnessing the power and potential of our imagination.
As a hypnosis coach Sandrina supports women who feel stuck in their own head to rewrite the stories their minds keep telling them and create new, more empowering narratives. Through her soulful copywriting, Sandrina also supports coaches, practitioners, and other heart-centred women in business to to gain clarity about their business essence, translate their unique energy into words that resonate deeply, and share their message in a way that feels authentic.
Throughout our conversation we will be spiralling into an expansive and arbitrary exploration of the relationship between our creative energy and our brain, and how harnessing the beautiful power of our imagination can positively and profoundly influence the creation of our lives. We will be touching on our imagination’s root in the subconscious mind, the evolution of our imagination from childhood through to adulthood, why we need our imagination, and how we can cultivate a more easeful and open connection with our imagination as adults.
Within our surprising discussion, Sandrina illuminates the powerful part our imagination plays in understanding and defining the very truth of who we are. I hope the notions and revelations sprinkled throughout this episode inspire you to rekindle your relationship with your incredible imagination, and that you begin to question the ways in which your imagination might be holding you back from growing and expanding into someone delightfully new.

Episode Thirteen.) Honing Your Style
Today I’m excited to be speaking about the concept of honing your style in reference to the creative process. In this episode I’ll be exploring what style is and means when it comes to our creative expression, how you know when you have found it, and three of my suggestions for unlocking and consciously honing it.
One of the questions I have been asking myself while writing this episode is, is the journey of finding and honing our style something we can consciously craft through choice? Or is style subconscious? Is it something divinely designed and beyond our control?
You will just have to listen to this episode to find out…

Today’s episode is an assortment of reflections on my creative writing journey with Once Were Wounds.

One of my lovely Creative Power clients recently asked me… how can I balance my time and energy between my outside world and that of my creative process?
I actually believe that this is one of the biggest and most common challenges I see standing in the way of so many beautiful people like you, wholeheartedly pursuing their creative dreams and visions. Within this episode I’ll be exploring what finding balance actually means, as well as what constitutes our “everyday world”?
I’ll also be touching on some of the practical pathways to finding balance, which include nurturing your mindset, cultivating your intentions, implementing devotional creative rituals and routines, energy management, establishing a support system, and allowing your creative space to be your safe harbour.

Episode Eight.) Creativity Is Not About Finding Happiness…
If creativity is not about finding happiness, then what is it really about?
The true promise of connecting with our creative energy is that it will take us through and beyond moments of happiness, and into something so much deeper and richer and vast… if we are willing to embrace all parts of the journey.
Connecting with our unique creative energy is actually about building something sustainable and everlasting. It is not about finding happiness, but it is about nurturing a long-lasting sense of fulfilment.

Episode Six.) Self Love & Authentic Expression with Bec Connaughton
There are so many beautiful parallels between the relationship we have with our creative energy and the relationship we have with ourselves. Our authentic expression and sense of creative freedom is ignited within the flames of self love, and from how deeply connected and aligned we are with our truth.
I feel so grateful to be gracefully undressing the true nature of self love and authentic expression with the glorious Bec Connaughton, in the newest episode of The Conscious Creative today!
Bec is an incredible Self Love and Connection Coach, inspiring others to experience more love and connection in all areas of their lives.

Episode Five.) Opening To Inspiration
Welcome to this magical and enchanting conversation all about opening to inspiration. How glorious and golden and mystical is the energy of inspiration?
I’m so excited to be guiding you in this beautiful discussion today, beginning with an exploration into what inspiration is and the different roles it plays in relation to the creative process and creative living. I’m then going to be speaking about what I believe are the foundations of inspiration; safeness, optimism and abundance, spaciousness, ritual, surrender, and bliss.
We will be looking at where we need to facilitate an opening or a gateway within ourselves for inspiration to blossom fruitfully, creating an understanding of what inspiration actually needs from us in order for it to feel warmly welcomed.

Episode Four.) Creative Movement
I was intending to approach this topic of creative movement from the angle of taking action. Exploring the importance of taking action on your creative ideas and dreams, and choosing to consciously move forward with your creations from a place of aligned and integral direction.
While this topic is important and a part of our conversation today, I felt that it might be too narrowly focussed on the creative process. I wanted to traverse a little deeper than this, a little wider. I wanted to explore creative movement as a whole embodiment. What you will find in this episode… it won’t be what you think. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it.

Episode Three.) Trusting Yourself with Thea Müller
It’s such an honour to be sharing this very delightful, inspiring and potent conversation with one of my dear friends Thea Müller. I feel so grateful to be exploring the topic of trusting yourself and trusting your creativity with her in today’s episode.
Thea is a wonderfully gifted Intuitive Coach, Yoga Teacher and Sociologist specialising in trust and wellbeing, which is also the topic of her PhD research. Through her 1:1 coaching Thea guides ambitious, heart-led humans to stop playing it safe, build unwavering trust and inner connection, and go all in on their dreams.
In our conversation Thea illuminates her wisdom, insight and lived experience when it comes to cultivating trust within ourselves and within the creation of our dream life. She starts by sharing her beautiful personal journey with us, and how leaning into trust has allowed her to create the lifestyle of her dreams.
Episode Two.) Creative Power
I believe that the journey of remembering and reconnecting with our creative power is the essence of the Conscious Creative. In this episode I’ll be starting to explore the energy of creative power, which is the divinely inspired name for my signature 1:1 Creative Coaching series.
Our creative power is not separate from who we are as a gorgeous human being, or from our unique experience of life. But where does our creative power actually come from? As an energy what is it comprised of, and what does it feel like when we’re embracing it and harnessing it.
