Ep 160: Celebrating 5 Years of the Creative Soul Podcast: Lessons on Creativity, Trust, and Following the Call

HAPPY 5 YEAR BIRTHDAY TO THE CREATIVE SOUL PODCAST! In this heartfelt solo episode, I reflect on five years of podcasting and what it takes to show up for your art - even amidst transition and change.

We talk about:

• The journey of celebrating the 5-year anniversary of The Creative Soul Podcast and 160+ episodes recorded.
• What it means to treat creative projects like living beings with birthdays, growth, and their own evolution.
• Lessons I've learned about trusting my voice, creating sustainable rhythms, and navigating overwhelm.
• The cosmic synchronicity of the podcast anniversary aligning with my baby’s six-month birthday.
• Why creative structures (like journaling, voice memos, or podcasting) help build trust and confidence in your artistic voice.
• Encouragement to honor your own creative soul projects and start, even if it feels messy, small, or unknown.

Whether you’re in a season of transition, doubting your creative voice, or looking for inspiration to start your own project, this episode is an invitation to trust your soul’s nudges and celebrate the art you’ve already birthed into the world.
