What if connecting with your inner child could heal not just you, but generations of family patterns? As this first beautiful season comes to an end, I want to share this mindful and heart opening conversation with children's book author and artist Oshri Hakak, we explore the creative process, the power of collaboration, and how children's books can touch the hearts of both young readers and the inner child within every adult.

Oshri brings a unique blend of artistry, psychology, and mindfulness to his work as a children's book author and illustrator. Through his publishing imprint Butterfly and Books, he creates stories that bridge the gap between children's literature and profound emotional healing. In this episode, he shares his journey from art world hustler to children's book creator, discussing how synchronicity and mentorship played crucial roles in finding his authentic creative voice. Together we explore our co-creation process and read their collaborative book "The Child in Me," offering insights into how creativity flows when we lower our perfectionist standards and trust divine timing.
