  • Growing Up Between Worlds (Part 1)

    What does it mean to grow up between worlds, and what do you do with the parts of childhood that were never quite explained to you?


    In this episode, Dalia and Mary get personal, tracing the quiet weight of navigating identity, culture, and the kind of emotional tenderness that doesn't always survive a family's survival mode. Both children of immigrants, both carrying stories they've held for a long time, sit with a question that hits differently the older you get: what was missing? The conversation goes somewhere raw and ends with an invitation for our audience.

  • Creative Hora - Season 4 | Official Trailer

    We're back! Not just with a new season, but with something that feels more aligned to our friendship! Season 4 of Creative Hora is here, and it's rooted in the questions we explore in our day-to-day lives: What did we inherit from our ancestors? What are we releasing to feel liberated? How are we showing up for ourselves in alignment with mind, body, and heart? 


    This season, we're going deeper into ancestry, identity, inner child healing, and the kind of creativity that breathes life into our spirit. We've missed this space. We’re excited to build communion and resonance, and to welcome you into our conversation between two friends. We saved you a seat, so join us! We’re just getting started.


    with love,

    Dalia & Mary

  • What Does It Mean to Be a Young Ancestor?
    In this week's episode, Dalia and Mary introduce the concept that will define Season 4 — the young ancestor — and it's more personal than you might expect. They open with a card pull that stops them both in their tracks, and from there, the conversation goes somewhere real. Dalia shares a story from her childhood that she doesn't often talk about, and what it taught her about creative expression, identity, and the patterns we inherit without choosing them. Mary brings in a figure from her own life whose story reframes what legacy can look like entirely. Together, they start building a definition of what it means to carry your lineage while you're still in it.

  • Hitting Reset: A New Season of Grounding
    After a six-month hiatus, Dalia and Mary are back on the mic, and they're pulling the curtain back on what's ahead. In this season premiere, the two friends check in with each other, reflect on the evolution of Creative Hora from its earliest days to now, and share why this season feels different. With themes rooted in emotional, spiritual, and cultural wellbeing, Season 4 is about going inward — exploring identity, cultural upbringing, spirituality, and the kind of honest conversations that have shaped their friendship over the past decade. They talk about what it means to take care of yourself in a world that keeps demanding more, why community and conversation are tools for processing, and yes, there may be potions involved. Two words set the tone for what's to come: enlightenment and alignment.
