Sustaining Creativity with Mari Reisberg

In this episode, I'm speaking with Mari Reisberg: therapist, performer, creativity coach, and host of the Sustaining Creativity Podcast.    Mari and I talk about her journey as a very creative child, to the world of performing, and then onto her role supporting other creatives. We talk about rejection as a creative (something we all experience), creative self-care, and creating on your own terms.    Words you'll hear…   "Affirmations lead us to goals, they lead us to the changes we want to make in our life."   "When we give our mind space to relax, answers show up."   "Creativity is a present moment experience."   "I think we forget how important mindfulness is to creativity."   About Mari   Mari Reisberg, LPC is a therapist, performer, podcast host of the Sustaining Creativity Podcast and creativity coach. She holds a BFA in Acting from the University of Hartford's Hartt School and an MA in Somatic Counseling Psychology, Dance/Movement Therapy, from Naropa University. She currently splits time between the traditional 9-5 world as the director of utilization review and internship programming for a substance abuse treatment center, and her own Sustaining Creativity coaching business where she works 1:1 with performers and non-performers to spark, grow, sustain, share and transform creativity in their lives. She has shared her Sustaining Creativity work at conferences, Universities and in workshops across the country.   Mari believes we are all creative and life is way more fun when we can find creativity.   Links   Mari's Facebook: facebook.com/sustainingcreativity   Mari's Instagram: instagram.com/sustainingcreativity   Mari's Podcast: https://sustainingcreativity.buzzsprout.com/   Amy's episode of the Sustaining Creativity podcast: https://sustainingcreativity.buzzsprout.com/1028026/9485614-amy-eaton   Mari's LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/marika-reisberg-b1320151   Mari's 7 Day Creativity Challenge: https://courses.skillfulmeans.life/7-day-Awakening-Creativity   Mari's Free Creativity Guide: https://courses.skillfulmeans.life/Awakening-Creativity   Brioka: https://www.brioka.com   Brioka on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createwithbrioka   Amy's website: https://www.amytakespictures.com/   Amy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amy.takes.pictures-----------------------Join me on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/amy.takes.picturesWatch on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/amyeaton-----------------------Subscribe + leave a review!
