The Creative Spirits Podcast

This week’s interlude is an interview with Kate Darnell on her book of poetry:  Ramblings to an Awakened Healer

Awakened Hearts - Awakened Souls - Awakened Healers…

Ramblings to an Awakened Healer is the final book of a healing trilogy. It reminds us to take back the power of this moment – the moment that is love - the love that honours all of YOU, each of us. 

These inspiring words encourage us all to step into a realm of love. To release fear, judgement and shame once and for all. 

In each of her books, Kate Darnell’s writing empowers us to take time to come into the moment and start loving and prioritising US, by honouring our heart’s truest and deepest desires. 

May Ramblings to an Awakened Healer inspire you to do just that.

We are opening season 4's interludes with an interview with JoJo from Tree Fox who offers the most decadent looking handcrafted herbal offerings from her shop. We knew she was the person to talk to about taking care of yourself in order to root to rise. Because if those roots are suffering so is the rest of the tree!

Kate and Jo Jo talk about all things self care as well as one point that is so essential. When you think you have no time for self care that is the time you absolutely must do it!

The final episode of season 4 of Creative Spirits is a throwing down of being allowed to feel emotions as we talk through what  expectations   bring us, as well as do to us.

Today we talk about what story is creating our suffering and making our life harder (and Sherrie's son pops in a few times to underline how frustrating our expecations can be while also highlighting the importance of expressing ourselves) as well as how we can have the life we want and crave while living the one we currently are in. 

This week’s podcast is all about the ultimate and most difficult aspect of rooting to rise: sweet surrender.

It is one thing to tell yourself you are exactly where you need to be. It is entirely another to believe it. 

In this episode we talk about how we let go when we need to, or at the very least try to pry our fingers loose from the attempt to control everything!

And Kate shares an amazing technique to help you in your surrender. 

Today we are talking money blocks, needs, desires and everything in between.

If money makes you feel squishy or antsy then check out this week's episode!

 “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” 

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

This week’s episode continues to look into how you root to rise and to do so we are looking at the soil that we have grown in.

This means looking at both the nutrient rich (or lack of them) substance that we build our life on - both the light and the dark aspects.

Too often we want to change without doing the work. We want to to stretch higher but we do so by pretending that it does not matter where are planted.

It does.

At Creative Spirits we believe you can change your environment and be who you want to be. But you can’t do it without first getting down and dirty with you are. And also how the people around you have helped shaped that. For better or for worse and in kindness or maliciousness. 

That also means taking full responsibility for who you are right now. That often looks like kindness to the person who were who was hurt, who was made to feel small and then allowed themselves to stay small in order not to feel that hurt again. (And may have then made others feel the same way.)

If you wonder how you go about growing while trying to integrate your past without being overwhelmed by it, this week’s episode is for you!

Trust in timing is what everyone recommends and yet it is so difficult to allow.

How do you know if you are truly where you need to be? What is burn out and what is aligned hustle? And how do we step back in a world that just screams at us to do and be more, more MORE!!

This week’s episode Kate and Sherrie dive deep into divine timing and allowing yourself to exist, how to tell the difference between pushing and allowing and some honest truths about what success is and what it takes to be it. 

 We, the Creative Spirits podcast, hereby give you permission to drop the fear of backlash, fight against tall poppy syndrome, and live your life to the fullest. 

And although saying that is easier than doing it, we, along with the divine guidance of Rebecca Campbell’s Work Your Light oracle deck, have the three step formula that will help you do so.

It is:

Answer The Call

Share Your Voice 

Align Your Life

Rinse and repeat as needed. 

Listen to this week’s podcast to dive deeper with Kate and Sherrie on why we struggle to step into the life we want and how to give yourself permission to do so instead!

 Wind and turtles have Sherrie slightly distracted in the beginning, but this episode is all about the messy glory of change and bringing in a new age!

Today we are talking about some of the events that need to happen deep in the soil in order to root to rise. Or the uncomfortable fact that sometimes things have to take root in the dark before they are able to be seen. And we need to be able to sit with this and allow it to happen.

If you are struggling and unable to see the changes you so wish to have or trying to bring about -  this episode is for you, as we remind you that some things not only need time, but they also need faith.

Just like the turtles that refuse to let Sherrie take pictures of them, you exist outside of you public persona. Who you are as a person is so much more than your Instagram or social media feed. Do not allow others to dim your light, go deep and allow faith that you will emerge from the soil strong and reaching for that light.

Season 4 of Creative Spirits has begun! And we are so excited to welcome back our regular listeners and saying hello to all the new ones! We love you and we trust you are here in perfect and divine timing!

With the new year turning into this year we start the newest season with an episode on how important it is that you allow your roots to go deep and your own light to be the way you illuminate your path - even if at times the light from others seems to be brighter.

We have all been there. It does not matter if it is as a business owner, a creative or a mama. We begin a project with passion and it is infectious. Our light goes brighter and it attracts people who love the beam we give off. And then they begin to help us. They tell us how to grow bigger and faster and do it all better. We get excited and follow their advice but somewhere along the lines what began as something fun and full of enthusiasm has turned into an uphill battle and energy suck.

Does that mean we quit? 

Absolutely not.

But it may mean we went from defining our happiness to being swept up into what others want, hope and expect from us and allowing that to define our happiness instead. 

And chances are somewhere along the line the ego has creeped in and with it a full raging case of comparisonitis. 

The solution? Not quitting. Not throwing yourself into things harder. But rather stepping back, breathing deep and feeling out your own roots. Going back to your why, going back to what you love and what lights you up, defining happiness for yourself and keeping your focus on your life. 

Because it does not matter how shiny your bars glow for someone else, what matters is how happy you are in the life you experience.
