Combinging Mindfulness and Art with Mindful Creative Muse Founder Cynthia Hauk

Cynthia Hauk is an artist, educator, and the founder of Mindful Creative Muse. Cynthia helps people reconnect with creativity in simple, kind, and realistic ways. She began using art as a way to move through anxiety, illness, and burnout, and that personal practice grew into work that now supports thousands of creatives and educators around the world.   Cynthia believes creativity isn’t about being perfect or producing more—it’s about showing up, paying attention, and trusting the process. In this conversation, we talk about creative blocks, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and how small, mindful practices can help creativity feel supportive instead of stressful.   In this episode, we talk about how mindfulness and creativity are linked, how she incorporates yoga into her practice, the mind-body connection, how she teaches people the business side of living a creative life, how to stop judging your art, and more.    Follow Mindful Creative Muse on Instagram: ​​https://www.instagram.com/mindfulcreativemuse/  Visit Mindful Creative Muse’s website: https://mindfulcreativemuse.com/  Check out Mindful Creative Muse’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MindfulCreativeMuse  Art as Mindfulness Workshop: https://learn.mindfulcreativemuse.com/art-as-meditation-workshop  Subscribe to Version 1's substack: version1podcast.substack.com/  Follow Version 1 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/version1podcast/ Support the show: https://buymeacoffee.com/waverlycolville
