This episode is a special one. I sat down with the inspiring Roxanne Glaser—artist, educator, and creator of whimsical nature-inspired doodles—to talk about what it really means to live a creative life.

We dive into some deeply personal and powerful topics, like how Roxanne used art to process profound grief after experiencing unimaginable loss and how her creative practice became a tool for healing and self-discovery. We talk about the challenges of having too many choices in creativity (I know I’ve felt that paralysis!) and how gentle self-discipline and limitations can actually set us free to create more authentically.

This conversation is packed with takeaways about building a sustainable creative practice, embracing the seasons of your life, and creating art for yourself—not for external validation.

I’ve also created something special for you to deepen the impact of this episode: the Creative Warrior Activation Sheet, a guided exercise to help you connect with your inner creative warrior and discover how to embrace your unique creative journey. It’s available exclusively for my Patreon supporters, and I can’t wait for you to try it out.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

How creativity can be a tool for healing, meditation, and self-expression.

Why creativity is often born from struggle and necessity.

The surprising freedom that comes with setting limitations in your creative practice.

The importance of daily practices—no matter how small—and how they can transform your creative life.

Why loss can be a powerful clarifier for what matters most in art and life.

How to let go of perfectionism and start creating for yourself.

Why creativity evolves with the seasons of your life and how to embrace that process.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that we are all unique instruments in the creative process, and the magic happens when we honour that.
