Bevin: A Femme Over 40 and her Friends

Scott K. Smith just finished a Reiki manual that might lead you to a better more resilient version of yourself. My own path as a Reiki Master Healer has absolutely rooted me in a spiritual life path. Scott is one of my favorite people to talk about spiritual philosophy with and we discussed a prediction for the Age of Aquarius that a third of people will die, a third of people will go mad and a third of people will ascend. We talk how to navigate the mass death that's already underway, and how we ensure we are green and growing in the new world that is unfolding. 

Happy Solstice! My previous conversations with Scott!

Kendrra went to art school... for an area of art she actually hates! She's now creating art in entirely new ways and leading groups for other creative cannabis entrepreneurs. Later in life discovery of her autism helps her make peace with the ways she has been different (and a genius artist) all her life. We talk using lifestyle and changing how we see "work" to minimize chronic health conditions, perfectionism, how to know when a creative piece is "done" and so much more!

She has been working to heal her CPTSD and depression using lots of modalities over the year and in the pandemic needed a level up.

How do we find a song on our hearts every day when we carry the weight of what could or should have been with loved ones? When we get caught in thought loops that bring us down or are in the acute stages of grief? How do we harness our power on our Holiday Mornings. What traditions are meaningful to us? How do we release our expectations and connect to our joy even while carrying grief?

All that and my favorite never miss holiday breakfast casserole recipe--Spotted Owl Casserole!

Creativity can be really hard. Imposter syndrome! Feeling like making a thing and not finishing is a waste of time (it's not)! Freezing because what you say could be criticized! (Everything you fear will come to pass and you will be okay.) I talk about my recent call to create more than I consume and how I've been getting through all of these head blocks. I assure you that the world needs what only you have to offer and part of the creative process is letting it be messy!

Personal values (also known as core values) are beliefs that are so important to you that they guide how you organize your behavior and association. Values are a great way to know yourself and being clear and prioritized with your values makes decision making much easier. Especially in terms of who you are going to invest time and collaboration. We live in a world that teaches us to people please, say yes to everything and run on other's priorities. Having values clear makes being unique easier! And we are all unique by design!

In this episode I talk through my personal values and give a list of other possible values. 

Here's a link to that list by James Clear, author of Atomic Habits: https://jamesclear.com/core-values

While this episode is optimized for you tube (see link below in show notes), the first 20 minutes are great for an audio podcast about healing with art!  

Does the art heal us or do we heal through the art? 

I walk through a career retrospective with visual artist Mindie Gum-Grivell. Her Creatch collection began as an art practice that has developed so many delightful layers! Characters, aesthetic, personal branding, merchandising--as a brand nerd I just adore this on so many layers.  Our conversation touches the work I've been doing to heal my social anxiety and the importance of connecting to people and communities who see the divinity within you.

Leah Garza taught me how to question what even is "normal." Decolonizing our mind is some of the most important work we can do on ourselves to reclaim our power from systems of oppression. Learning how to think for yourself comes with great teachers and Leah is great at showing how to question the colonizer in our mind.

Leah is a phD student in Ontology--the study of reality. She's also a reader of the Akashic Records. We talk about both of these at length. Leah is truly unforgettable and sharp!
