If you’ve ever struggled to finish creative projects, doubted your art, or felt stuck in the middle of your process, this episode is for you.

In Part 2 of Creating in Cycles, I’m sharing the second half of the creative process — Illumination and Maturation — and how understanding these phases has completely transformed the way I make art, run my business, and live my life.

I’ll also take you behind the scenes of my own creative journey over the last year — from pausing my group programs, going deep with breathwork and somatic therapy, to opening my creative channel in ways I never imagined.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

🖌️ Why your creativity is already built into your biology (and how to work with it instead of against it)
🖌️ How to navigate the vulnerable act of being seen in your art
🖌️ Practical ways to finish creative projects without burnout or self-sabotage
🖌️ How aligning your creativity with the cycles of your body and nature leads to more ease, joy, and authenticity in your work

Whether you consider yourself a professional artist, a hobbyist, or someone longing to reconnect with their creative spark — this episode will help you see that you were born to create.

And when you learn to create in cycles, you not only make more art — you also create a more sustainable, fulfilling, and self-honoring life.
