What does it really mean to live a creative, liberated, and fully human life?

This week on The Robyn Ivy Podcast, I sit down with the brilliant and refreshingly honest Rob Bell for a conversation about creativity, God, rebellion and liberation. Together, we explore what it looks like to be wide awake in the world, from punk shows to pulpit days to painting on cabinet doors.

Rob and I talk about letting go of old identities, following joy as a form of service, and the radical practice of telling the truth-to ourselves and each other. 

We touch on burnout, intuition, rest, the healing power of making art, and why showing up for whatever unfolds is mindfulness in action.

This one is for the curious, the restless, the ready-to-reimagine.The lovers, the dreamers and you… For the ones who want to live their own questions out loud and be changed by the answers they find.

3 Key Takeaways from the Episode:

Everyone is creative, yep even you.

Creativity isn’t about being an artist. It’s about how you show up to your life. From your calendar to your backyard to your next conversation, you’re already creating the world around you. Own it.

Truth is liberating

The more you tell the truth about what’s working, what’s dying, what you actually want, the more alive and free you become. Even pain becomes part of the process, not something to avoid.

Rest Fuels Real Service

Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. Taking care of yourself (surfing, napping, laughing, painting cabinet doors) is what makes it possible to show up for others with joy and clarity.

The life you’re craving won’t come from pushing harder but from telling the truth.
