Usually we are hanging out with Rebekah as students in her Chicago-based Zumba class, but today we got to catch up via Zoom to learn about her ingredients for living life to the fullest, to dive deep into her self-care practices (in honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month), to explore the connection between wellness & creativity, and discuss all of our cravings — from freely expressing ourselves through latin rhythms in Zumba and breathing / moving through element-based, Kinrgy (expanded fitness by Julianne Hough), to our love of charcuterie and cheese boards, global flavors that transport us, and matcha!

Her story will remind you that it's up to you to "live your life on purpose, instead of by pattern." This episode is for you if you are someone who has moved by yourself to a new place, or, you have taken a leap of faith to follow an opportunity not knowing if it would work out, or you've opened up to others about something personal, or you just love to dance and express yourself through movement.

A few months ago, right before the pandemic escalated, Rebekah joined Julianne, 9 other soulful dancers, and Oprah (yes, that Oprah!) on stages around the U.S. to guide tens of thousands of people through Kinrgy, which she created to help you "connect to yourself from the inside out" so we can all better relate to one another.

LIVE, from Hollywood, this is Dancing with the Stars!!!

(Oh wait, that's not our show…!)

LIVE, to your earbuds, THIS is Creative Cravings podcast! featuring multi-talented dancing champion & professional storyteller, Valentin (Val) Chmerkovskiy!

It was such a joy for us to video chat with Val a couple weeks ago, and it's surreal to release this episode after putting in so many hours of hard work to produce this entertaining, meaningful show.

In today's episode, Val talks with us about all of his cravings: from his love of Italian cuisine, to his cravings to express himself through dance, music, and writing after spending his early years in Odessa, Ukraine, to his craving to be the very best teacher & coach he can be. And, he dishes out his secret ingredients for living a healthy, fulfilling life!

We had a lot of fun connecting over what it's like to create with your sibling, too! In Val's case, he has inspired, educated, and entertained millions, and has created extraordinary dance shows with his older brother, Maksim (Maks) Chmerkovskiy, like the OUR WAY Tour. They may be 6 years apart, and we may be twins, but the dynamic of working together seems eerily similar…

Thank you SO MUCH to you for listening to our show, and to Val for seeing our potential, for spending time with us during quarantine (#quarantinewithvalentin), for his dedication to teaching people all over the world to dance, for creating choreography that moves audiences, for delivering authentic performances, for graciously giving back, and for inspiring individuals & siblings like us to share our stories, "our way." We're pumped that we made this conversation happen and feeling so grateful, ready, and a little sleep deprived as we finally share this with everyone.

If you've been craving Italian food, expressing yourself creatively, or learning to dance, this episode is for Y-O-U.

Listen to Val's episode anywhere you get your podcasts!

This week's Creative Challenge:

1. Participate in the creative cravings challenge we announced at the end of the episode. Use #VolarewithVal if you want to spread the good energy & share about it on your social media

Today's episode with co-hosts Sari and Lauren, "Let's Taco 'bout Joy, Gratitude, and Belonging" is inspired by Dr. Brené Brown's Netflix special and by real feelings about trying to find the light in a world of negative news. Tragedies around the world, whether near or far, affect us all deeply and take a toll on our mental health, so let's have conversations that matter during May, Mental Health Awareness month.

Dig in to this Cinco de Mayo episode of Creative Cravings to hear our perspective on Brené's meaningful yet light-hearted and funny motivational talk, where she shares many essential ingredients for living life to the fullest.

We share some personal stories about some joyful moments when we both felt a feeling of belonging (hint: it involves being in the studio audience of a local Chicago talk show), we encourage you to "Take 5" and write down what you're grateful for in this moment, and we invite you to ask us questions about being identical twins!

YOU — our listeners and our guests — truly make this show our happy place, and we hope it's becoming yours, as well. What experiences in your life spark joy, gratitude, and a sense of belonging for you?

How did today's podcast guest, Jacqueline Poirier, known as @thecrazyplatelady, go from drawing on the walls as a kid, to creating a thesis on circles, to getting paid to paint on porcelain plates (circular canvases) around the world? Besides her constant craving to be creative, what are her 3 ingredients for living life to the fullest as an artist?

Jaqueline Poirier is The Crazy Plate Lady / Resident Artist at The Ritz Carlton in Toronto, Canada where her hand painted charger plates are showcased throughout TOCA, the hotel's signature restaurant. She is also an Instagram featured artist, and she chases her cravings to create by collaborating with brands and other creators, and by creating custom pieces for clients. She always squeezes in time to create just for herself, something that truly makes her happy.

Dig in to this episode of Creative Cravings to see why we all agree that "you can't spell C.R.E.A.T.E , with out E.A.T." You will not only be inspired to either let your inner artist out or to continue on your path as an artist, but you will also gain some helpful suggestions on ways you can turn your art into a business, as an entrepreneur. Her life-like style of #plart (plates + art) does not just speak for itself, but it actually sparks conversations around tables, across the globe.

It's true! We could not stop talking about how much we were craving one of her painted slices of cheesecake. And, she shares with us all which food she's most craving that she's painted on a plate. Our conversation will bring a smile to your face, especially if you were you the kind of kid who would draw on the walls, create DIY costumes for Halloween, and always got your hands dirty with finger paint. Most of all, Jacqueline will help you remember to embrace the kid-at-heart within you, to jump on opportunities to showcase the work you love doing, and to share your special creative gifts. Bon appétit!

Food for Thought mentioned in this podcast episode:

• How did Jacqueline come up with or get her name, The Crazy Plate Lady?

How can you help our planet today, while also achieving more self growth? Today's guest conversation will leave you feeling ready to embrace change in your industry and to cultivate a fulfilling lifestyle aligned with your values.

"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." - Lao Tzu

Take a moment to let that soak in. Self growth works a lot like nature. It's not an overnight process. But isn't the long process of embracing change worth it when it leads you to who and where you want to be?

In today's conversation with Chicago-based beauty business owner, Sheri Cox, you will learn how paying close attention to what you naturally gravitate towards in your life can help you to cultivate a fulfilling lifestyle. For Sheri, that is taking care of Mother Earth.

That process may require big lifestyle changes, and Sheri knows first-hand that starting with small shifts like "a juice or smoothie a day" does lead to clarity and more things falling into place.

We discuss why Sheri transitioned to an environmentally-conscious lifestyle while working in the beauty industry and how decluttering her wardrobe, her Instagram, and her mind allows her to live life to the fullest! We also chat about the evolution of her 20-year career as an eyebrow expert and makeup artist. This episode will help you curate a social media feed that inspires you and will empower you to chase not only your artistic cravings but also those bigger life cravings.

Tune in to find out where Sheri most loves to travel and where she craves going next! Have you already checked 'em off of your travel bucket list? Let us know.

In honor of Earth Day, we give you an easy Earth Day challenge, so we ALL can celebrate our beautiful Mother Nature together.

Food for Thought mentioned in this podcast episode:

• Earth Day Challenge: Try to replace something that you throw out a lot, like a coffee cup. Practice getting into a routine of bringing a reusable cup with you wherever you go. And/or choose a creative DIY project that allows you to upcycle something!

  4. What creative cravings do you have? Are you chasing them, or have you put them on hold, because of "being too busy?"
