Episode Nineteen: Creativity and the Power of Limitlessness

When was the last time you did something creative?So often, we leave creative expression behind in childhood because we're "not good enough", it's "a waste of time" or any number of other reasons. And when people ask if we're creative, we laugh awkwardly and tell them that we were never that good at art.But what if everything we've been told about creativity over the years is wrong... Or at least missing out a great big chunk of the story?What if all this time the scorn of creativity and the criticism of our own creative efforts has been based not on truth, but on a plan to keep us all from remembering one of the greatest and most archetypally feminine powers we possess?In this week's episode Ceryn shares her recent journey to embrace more creativity in life, and the lessons that's brought.Speaking about her various ventures into creative expression, Ceryn explains how the "big magic" they all involve has led her to an altogether more limitless way of life, and all of the experiences that go with that.And don't forget to check out our next episode with illustrator Hazel Mead, headed your way very soon.Episode notesNext time around we'll be talking with Illustrator Hazel Mead.
