In episode 33, I interviewed CJ Miller. CJ is an abstract mixed media Artist, Author, and Host of the Spiritual Artist podcast. He recently had an immersive art exhibition in Texas showcasing his vivid abstract paintings which correspond with music. CJ’s vision is to help artists tap into what we he calls our unique, creative DNA. We chatted about an art technique called asemic writing, dealing with emotion, the inspiration behind his book called The Spiritual Artist, and how to tap into our creativity through our connection to the divine. This episode will be helpful if you have internal struggles as an artist and want to be more connected to your creativity. CJ is such a delight to talk to. He also holds in-person retreats to help people get more in touch with their divine creative self. "We are all creators!"

In episode 31, I interviewed Astrologer, Writer, and Artist Chloe Margherita. Chloe is author of Styling with the Stars I & II guidebooks which draw a detailed correlation between fashion and astrology!

We talk about using our clothes creatively to align ourselves spiritually and to amplify our intentions. By using our wardrobe, we can change the way we show up in the world and draw certain energies towards us. And of course, we talk about our favorite style icons and tarot!

Even if you’re not knowledgeable in astrology, you can start just by using a few key aspects in your chart such as your ruling planets, rising sign, Venus sign, and 5th house...as you embark on your style journey. All genders can experiment with fashion, use the magic of color, and work with planetary influences. This episode is great for learning more about astrology in general and inviting more creativity into your life.

In episode 29, I do a solocast about the necessary process of emotional detoxing. If you’re struggling emotionally, this may shed light on how to go through this process of true self-care which is to resolve negative, trapped feelings. I share my experience of how a health crisis led me to the realization that my unresolved emotions were at the root of my illness. By going through this process, I learned how to transmute my pain into clarity and I wanted to share this with you. I cover why you need to do an emotional detox, the signs that indicate that you might need one, and what habits to cultivate so you can learn to regulate your feelings in future. Addressing the physical body, taking time for solitude completely away from your normal routine, movement, breathwork, grounding through nature, and divine connection are some of the components to getting back to emotional equilibrium.

In episode 26, I do a solocast about how to reinvent the holidays on a fundamental level. It is totally normal to be BOTH happy & sad right now. I’m going to talk about how to deal with the difficult aspects of this time such as stress, grief, spiritual bypassing, family drama, gluttony, the lies that our holidays are based upon, and the financial strain. But onto joyful things...I give you some creative ideas for conscious gift-giving. The holidays hold the positive potential for renewal in faith, childhood nostalgia, miracles, and magic. I also talk about why New Year’s resolutions are not productive and why we especially need to take care of each other during the month of January too. I'm not trying to be a Scrooge, I just believe that it's good to operate from a place of want rather than "should".
