Episode Notes

In this episode, I sit down with artist, author, and creative guide Rachel Gilbertson to talk about what really happens when you commit to showing up for your creativity every day. We get honest about the 100-Day Creative Soul Retrieval Journey—the magic, the mess, and everything in between. This one’s for anyone craving deeper self-connection, creative freedom, and the reminder that it’s not about the outcome—it’s about the becoming.

Among many other topics, we explore:

• The Power of Process Over Outcome: Embracing the journey of creating without pressuring ourselves to produce something “perfect” or even shareable.
   
• Ritual and Routine in Creativity: How a daily commitment—even as simple as 15 minutes—can deepen creative flow and spark inspiration.
   
• Creative Nudges and Intuition: Paying attention to the gentle pulls toward materials, words, or images that feel right, even if we don’t know why.
   
• Letting Go of External Validation: Releasing the need for praise or feedback in order to create more authentically and vulnerably.
   
• Reclaiming Creative Identity: Honoring the childlike joy and expression that comes with saying, “I am an artist,” no matter your background or training.
   
• Safe Creative Community: The power of sharing in a non-judgmental space, where expression is celebrated without critique.
   

Join us for this heartfelt episode about returning to the simple, sacred act of creating and letting it “ripple” outward!
