Self-Expression is our Medicine: Liberating Yourself Through Creativity w/ Kaleigh Smith

Ep 6: Today, I am joined by my dear friend and sister Kaleigh Smith for a rich conversation on creative liberation, retreats (...journeys!), and the healing power of our authentic expression - especially as women on a journey to reclaim our sovereignty and embodied power.  Kaleigh is an expressive arts therapist in training, and together we will be co-hosting the Vibrant Heârt Creative Liberation & Expressive Arts Retreat for women this coming November 2-8 in beautiful Costa Rica. Together we explore:Expression as a soulful, embodied practice, not just an artistic oneThe universal human impulse to create - and how expression is actually our medicineUsing expression to give voice to our inner parts - from trauma to leadershipThe necessity of slowness and softness in nurturing feminine creative energyThe contrast between cerebral living and somatic, soul-led creationDifferent modalities of expression - cognitive, kinesthetic, sensory, symbolic - and how each can unlock deeper self-awareness.Kaleigh's journey of finding Expressive Arts Therapy as a soulful modality for her service in the world Kristen’s journey of “rewilding” through plant medicine, psychedelics, and life in PeruCreativity beyond art: in relationships, rituals, home, and daily choicesThe role of environment, nature, and cultural influence on creativity and embodimentHow overstimulation and digital overwhelm in our modern age hinder authentic expression - and what we can do about it 🌴🎨🌊 Costa Rica Creative Women's Retreat - Nov 2-8, 2025 (Apply below!)Vibrant Heart - Creative Liberation Retreat for WomenCosta Rica Retreat ApplicationLearn more about my work and offerings here:www.wildsoulmedicine.com
