In this episode of Transformative Escapes, I sit down with Barbara Gagel, an artist, curator, and guide whose work lives at the intersection of creativity, place, and personal awakening.

Barbara doesn’t just create art — she creates thresholds. Through our conversation, we explore how art can act as a compass during times of transition, how travel deepens creative intuition, and why stepping into unfamiliar landscapes often unlocks parts of ourselves we didn’t know were waiting.

We talk about:

• Art as a mirror for personal transformation

• The courage it takes to follow creative curiosity

• How place, memory, and movement shape the stories we tell

• Why slowing down — really seeing — can change everything

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt called by a city, a canvas, or a quiet inner nudge that says there is more. It’s a reminder that transformation doesn’t always arrive loudly — sometimes it whispers through beauty, presence, and art.
