Creative Soul Healing Podcast

Maureen mostly works intuitively and is passionate about sharing the process with others so they may know that they have the answers within themselves if they just listen and are willing to go deep. We talked about the healing journey of creativity and how it can help you to open up into your most authentic self.

Maureen  is an artist, she has been since a young age when she was growing up in and around alcohol abuse. She turned to coloring, making things out of other things, and being outside as much as possible. It provided her with comfort and a feeling of control where as a child she had very little to none.

Maureen grew up and became an alcoholic herself, drinking at a young age, finding comfort in a bottle and other substances was easy and seemed natural. She gave up art and anything to do with it feeling she had no support or resources. Her journey has come full circle, she got sober at 20 and I began to inch her way back towards a creative way of life.

At first it was too painful for her to show up in that space but she knew it was the way towards healing. Maureen went to school, got a degree in Art Education and began working with children. She got married, started a family and began raising her daughters who are now 20 & 21. Her family kept her busy for a while but she always turned to her art to help nourish her soul and heal her heart. She also found a great deal of inner wisdom she never knew existed by utilizing imagery and symbols in her work. Maureen mostly works intuitively and is passionate about sharing the process with others so they may know that they have the answers within themselves, if they just listen and are willing to go deep.

She started her biz The Soulful Creative and just recently launched her new website! She teaches workshops mostly live, but is moving to online platforms as well.

Maureen loves Art Journaling, SoulCollage, Abstract painting, and Expressive Portraits! She is currently writing a book called Full Circle that she is super excited about and hoping to finish by years end!

Angela and I spoke of the healing light of creation and our love of sharing what we know and love.

A twenty-five year love affair with watercolor has taught Angela Fehr that it is the heart that gives life to our art. 

“There is something about the fluidity of pairing paint and water and allowing them to collaborate on a page that is so captivating. It’s never boring, and always unexpected. I want something more for my paintings than simply to copy what I could see with my eyes. I want to show my heart in my paintings.” 

Since 2013, Angela has empowered watercolor lovers all over the world with her gentle, open and authentic approach to teaching loose watercolor; an approach that allows painters to make peace with the learning process, creating paintings that don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. Angela’s online courses have inspired thousands of students and can be found at www.learn.angelafehr.com. Her extensive course list includes ‘Learn Watercolor the Heart Led Way’ and ‘Heart-Led Landscapes in Watercolor’ as well as a comprehensive ‘Watercolor Mastery’ course designed to help students focus on principles and quickly level up their skills. Her Fearless Artist Community is full of students exploring heart-led expression, posting their experiments and discussing ways to break out of fear as they become their own favorite artists. 

Angela shares her home and five gorgeous acres in northern British Columbia, Canada, with her hot-rod-builder husband and three creative teens.

I talked with Cherie Phillips about the healing effects of intentional art practices and how she used creativity to heal her own self before venturing out to help others.

Cherie Phillips is a self taught artist and therapeutic art coach helping women to find healing, hope and faith through the process of art.

She combines the ancient practice of Reiki with healing art projects to help women heal from past traumas and present hurts.

Eric and I had an in depth conversation about healing after trauma and his use of film to help people heal, as well as help people understand the healing process.

Eric Christiansen is an acclaimed documentarian who has built his brand around socially responsible filmmaking that educates, inspires and heals. Christiansen, a seven-time Southwestern Region Emmy Award recipient, explores the impact of trauma, the resilience of the human spirit, and how a powerful platform for hope can be built to help trauma survivors begin the vigilant journey of healing. A trauma survivor himself, Christiansen worked through the loss of his home and possessions in the Painted Cave Fire by creating his first film Faces in the Fire 25 years ago. All of his films (Faces in the Fire, Homecoming: A Vietnam Vets Journey, Searching for Home: Coming Back from War) have been transformative in the recovery process for thousands of people whose lives have been compromised mentally, spiritually and physically by trauma. Leveraged as educational tools by top mental health institutions, Christiansen's films migrate from the entertainment arena into environments that help additional audiences navigate the profound collateral damage trauma creates not only on the individual but the family and community as well.

Throughout his career, Christiansen has also created content for major networks including Discovery, TLC, PBS, MTV and an Imax film.

Jordan and I had a great conversation about her journey and her successes and how she still struggled with her self worth. When she stepped into her own authentic self she stepped into her own value.

Jordan helps people connect with themselves in ways they never knew possible, break personal barriers, and live their free-est most bada$$ lives - and she does it all through epic dance parties (=

Jordan Wentz is a professional dancer, movement and fitness coach and founder and hype-woman at MyMovementality. Seeking to lead the best quality of life and continue to evolve into the best version of herself, Jordan became obsessed with figuring out how to merge all things healthy with all things fun. She started with what she knew best: DANCE. Once she figured out how to harmoniously pair the joy of movement with the art of play, BOOM - MyMovementality was born.

MyMovementality is a platform dedicated to helping everyone lead their happiest, healthiest, most kick ass lives through movement. They post tons of free dance and fitness videos, health and wellness workshops, self love and self care content and so much more!
