  • How Thoughts, Traumas, and Toxins Shape Your Body’s Health with Dr. Colby Lovelace
    Aug 16 2025

    Your body is always speaking—through pain, posture, and even memory. In this episode, Dr. Colby Lovelace joins CJ to explore how neuromechanics, fascia, and neurotags reveal the hidden roadblocks to healing. Discover how listening to your body restores balance, wholeness, and flow.

    In this episode, CJ welcomes Dr. Colby Lovelace, a highly accomplished chiropractor with a background in Nutritional Sciences, Health and Wellness, and a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker University. With certifications in sports injury management, concussion treatment, rehabilitation, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Dr. Colby brings a wealth of knowledge about how the body heals, adapts, and restores balance. Together, they explore what it truly means to listen to your body and honor its innate wisdom through the lens of neuromechanics.

    Dr. Colby explains the fascinating science of fascia—the connective tissue that links every part of the body in patterns of motion. He reveals how movement, even in simple forms, shifts fluid dynamics, stimulates neurological input, and restores the body’s natural symmetry. A release in one part of the body can affect another far away, reminding us that healing is always about wholeness. CJ connects this to his own creative practice, where he encourages art students to move before they paint—because movement unlocks not just physical energy but mental and emotional flow.

    Listeners will also discover how movement can awaken memory, spark creativity, and shift brain function. Dr. Colby discusses how senses like smell and motion activate different regions of the brain, enhancing learning and dissolving blocks. He introduces the concept of neurotags—stimuli that can trigger old memories, emotions, or pain responses—and explains how movement and myofascial release can help rewire those patterns. Pain, he reminds us, is not just a nuisance but a message—a call from the body to pay attention and move differently.

    At the heart of Dr. Colby’s philosophy is the belief that the body is a self-healing mechanism, equipped with innate intelligence. Sometimes, all it needs is for us to remove the roadblocks—whether they stem from thoughts, traumas, or toxins—the three T’s that most often disrupt balance. This conversation is a powerful reminder that health is not about forcing the body, but about listening, aligning, and allowing it to return to its own symmetry.

  • Painting Angels Intuitively with Santa Fe Artist Eneida Valverde
    Aug 9 2025

    On this episode, CJ sits down with Santa Fe artist Eneida Valverde, whose life journey spans from her roots in Costa Rica to decades of teaching art in Maryland, and now, to the creative sanctuary of New Mexico. Surrounded by hollyhocks, peaches, and the ever-changing desert light, Eneida shares how her intuitional transcendental practice became the gateway to her current body of work—13 luminous angel paintings inspired by traditional retablos.

    Her process blends meditation, free-flow journaling, and intuitive mark-making, where shapes, patterns, and words emerge organically. Using watercolors, acrylic pens, and gold leaf, she transforms panels into spiritual expressions labeled with words like “Sanctuary,” “Attunement,” and “Alignment.” “I am following my soul and my spirit,” Eneida says. “I am connected to Spirit no matter what, and I am sharing it with everyone else in the universe. We are small, and yet we are huge.”

    Raised Catholic and deeply connected to nature, Eneida reflects on the importance of slowing down, sitting quietly, and letting each breath be a connection to Spirit. From teaching students to create loose, line-rich floral arrangements with sticks from the yard, to following her own soul’s direction, her story is a testament to the beauty that arises when we stop judging ourselves and allow inspiration to flow.

  • Why Artists Don’t Need to Fear AI
    Jul 31 2025

    After returning from a one-month sabbatical in Santa Fe, CJ Miller shares a fresh perspective on the growing conversation around AI and creativity. In this thought-provoking mini episode, CJ invites spiritual artists to release black-and-white thinking, drop their defenses, and stay curious. Rather than viewing AI as a threat, he asks: What if it’s simply another tool in the creative toolbox—like a brush, a ruler, or a camera? With a calm and centered voice, CJ explores how true creativity arises not from the tools we use but from the presence, intention, and feeling we bring to the process. You are a unique expression of Spirit, and nothing can threaten that.

  • The Right Question Can Free Your Art
    Jun 26 2025

    In this episode, CJ Miller explores key insights from Michèle Cassou’s book Point Zero: Creativity Without Limits. He discusses her powerful approach to overcoming creative blocks by asking the right question—a question rooted in the specific fear or resistance at hand. For example: “What would happen if I didn’t care whether this painting sold or not?”

    CJ shares a personal story about working on a new circular painting. Feeling stuck in one section, he realized his block stemmed from a fear of losing something he found interesting. When he asked himself, “What would happen if I didn’t care if I lost this shape?” the resistance lifted, and creative flow returned.

    He also reflects on Cassou’s concept of “Point Zero,” her version of what he calls “being in the Gap.” She identifies three inner dragons that often block creativity: the Dragon of Product, the Dragon of Meaning, and the Dragon of Control. CJ explains these dragons and how they manifest in both art-making and everyday life.

    As he prepares for a break in July, CJ invites listeners to embrace their own pause—and be willing to spend some time in the Gap this summer.

  • Scribble First, Heal Later: Three Creative Tools for Inner Growth
    Jun 21 2025

    Magdalena Westman is a Czech art therapist and author whose innovative approach helps people reconnect with their innate creativity through intuitive mark-making and collaborative reflection. With over a decade of experience—and roots in both corporate marketing and art therapy—she leads transformational workshops and seminars across Europe. Her acclaimed book explores how spontaneous, unconscious doodling can open doors to emotional insight, personal healing, and creative freedom.

    A former marketing strategist turned art therapy pioneer, Magdalena draws on childhood memories, emotional exploration, and the wisdom of scribbles to guide participants back to a childlike state of wonder. Inspired by Victor Lowenfeld’s developmental stages of artistic growth and thinkers like Tim Ingold and Giora Carmi, she emphasizes the power of simple lines to unlock deeper connections—within ourselves, with others, and with something greater.

    Her teaching blends deep listening, non-judgmental facilitation, and open group reflection. Rather than interpreting her students’ art, she invites them to find their own meaning—often sparking moments of clarity and transformation. Together with fellow spiritual artist CJ Miller, she shares a passion for helping students release control, marvel at the present moment, and trust the creative process.

    Magdalena’s Three Core Methods:

    • The Postcard Method
      A playful warm-up designed to conquer the fear of the blank page and open the flow of intuitive mark-making.
    • The House/Home Method
      A deep emotional process that centers around the symbolic image of “home,” helping participants explore identity, memory, and belonging.
    • The Triangle Method
      A two-phase group activity where participants co-create on shared paper—cultivating trust, collaboration, and creative synergy.

    Magdalena often begins with the simple instruction: “Don’t think. Just scribble.” With eyes open or closed, students begin to tap into a subconscious visual language that becomes the foundation for more expansive artwork—and, ultimately, more expansive living.

  • Hashbrowns & Healthy Habits: A Chat on Conscious Eating with Terri Chrisman
    Jun 12 2025

    Author and nutritionist Terri Chrisman shares powerful insights on food, cravings, and simple changes that can transform your health—starting with breakfast.”

    In this episode, CJ sits down with Terri Chrisman, a renowned speaker, podcaster, author, and board-certified nutritionist with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Terri is the founder of the Fabulous Health Show podcast and fabuloushealth.net, where she shares evidence-based insights to help people reclaim their health through practical, sustainable choices. With warmth and clarity, she breaks down the science behind how food affects our energy, mindset, and long-term well-being—offering hope and strategies for anyone ready to make a change.

    Terri is also celebrating the release of her new book, Fabulous Health: A Simple Plan to Get Well and Stay Well, where she shares her step-by-step approach to preventing chronic disease and creating lasting lifestyle transformation. In this conversation, she introduces powerful concepts like “Preloading”—eating nutrient-rich veggies first to send fullness signals to the brain—and explains the “Bliss Point,” the engineered combo of sugar, fat, and salt that makes processed foods addictive. “It’s not your fault,” she says, “your brain remembers the pleasure before the bite even happens.” She also touches on the idea of “Dose Response”—the amount of a certain food it takes to trigger a negative (or positive) reaction in your body—urging us to observe how we feel after eating and to let our bodies guide our choices.

    CJ and Terri explore what it means to truly listen to your body—asking how you feel 30 minutes after eating—and share practical ways to shift your habits without feeling deprived. Terri outlines three simple, life-changing principles: Start where you are, swap out ingredients for healthier versions, and try one new thing every day. Whether it's plant-based milk, whole grains, or a veggie you've never tried, every small change matters.

    This episode is packed with grounded wisdom and loving encouragement. As Terri puts it, “One small change can improve your life.” Tune in, get inspired, and take the next step on your wellness journey—one conscious bite at a time.

  • Sitting in Presence with Songwriter Eugene Kurolap
    May 31 2025

    In this heart-centered episode, CJMiller sits down with singer-songwriter Eugene Kurolap, whose most recent release, “Nothing is Free,” reveals a cinematic evolution in his music. Eugene shares how songwriting isn’t something he forces—it arrives through antennae mode, a deep listening to the universe. The first half of a song, he says, is pure intuition. The second half? That’s when the mind steps in to shape it.

    From early choir days to strumming a guitar passed down by his father, Eugene discovered that music was always his Creative DNA. Today, he travels in an old laundry truck, playing wherever the road calls, intent on helping people slow down, breathe, and be present through sound.

    CJ and Eugene explore:

    • What inspires a song
    • The power of presence in performance
    • Balancing words and sound in the creative process
    • The influence of artists like Trevor Hall
    • His listener-led “Genie Club” music experience
