Creativity Lives Here

Sign up for my newsletter by going to: www.leahsalinas.comSign up for a free Connection Call here: bit.ly/connectwithleah —Lately I’ve been exploring how I can make different areas of my life (my business, my creative projects, this podcast etc.) feel more sustainable. Not sustainable from an environmental perspective (that’s awesome as well, but a different conversation =)), but sustainable in a way that allows me to show up for all of these things consistently and with a sense of joy. I’ve found that communicating with our creative endeavors is a beautiful way to gain insights into what our creative projects really need from us. Which in turn allows us to create from a place of greater harmony, ease and flow. In today’s episode I’ll be sharing what this “communication” process looks like for me so you can apply it to your own creative projects as well! Today’s episode is also the Season 2 Finale! I’ll be sharing my future plans for the podcast (don’t worry, it’ll be coming back =)) and also how we can stay in touch until Season 3. A big thank you from my heart to yours for being on this journey with me. I’m grateful to each and every one of you! FIND MEwww.leahsalinas.comInstagram: @leah_salinasTHINGS I MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE*Ep. 18 Sustainable Creativity with Melissa BloomSign up for my newsletter by going to: www.leahsalinas.comSign up for a free Connection Call here: bit.ly/connectwithleah —This podcast has been edited and produced by René G.

ASHLEY’S FREE GIFTRATE AND REVIEW THIS SHOW ON ITUNESSIGN UP FOR MY MONTHLY LETTER I’m so delighted to share another beautiful and inspiring conversation with you today.This one is with Ashley DePaulis, who is a Body Muse, Movement Alchemist, and Somatic Embodiment Practitioner.  Ashley helps high performing women transform stress & enhance energy holistically. Inside the Vital Body Method, her signature program, she teaches you how to activate your body’s natural healing state for growth and expansion by feeling, processing and understanding the energy being expressed through your body so that you can align with your most vital self.I’ve spoken before about how I believe that how we feel in our bodies is directly correlated to our ability to tap into our peak creative potential. Ashley’s work is a really important piece of that puzzle. It’s all about learning how we can connect with our bodies so that we can be present in the here and now and also create a feeling of safety within. When we feel safe in our bodies, we also feel safe to express ourselves creatively. Which is one of the topics that we dive into in today’s conversation.Some of the other things that we talk about are: How to access your deeper gifts Ashley’s program, The Vital Body MethodLetting the kid within winThe power of DANCEAshley’s number one tool for moving beyond creative blocks  And so much more.Let’s dive in, and enjoy the show!! If you loved this episode you might also love:Cyclical Creativity with Fabia Bachmann, Cyclical Living & Menstruality Expert and Yoga Teacher FIND ASHLEYIG: @ashley.depaulisFB: Ashley DePaulisLinkedIn: Ashley DePaulis, MPHTemp.

Today I’m sharing a conversation with Joseph Santos who is an actor in LA. Joe and I originally met at an acting class and we were also in a play together a few years ago. He’s a wonderful actor and something that I’ve always really admired about him is his commitment to the craft of acting. I think you’ll really get a sense of that when you listen to him speak today. Some of the things we talk about in our inspiring conversation are:Imposter syndromeThe importance of being in class and “opening up the shop” What it’s like to work with Ethan Hawke Joseph’s work with writing his first pilotAnd, how candles can help with creativity =)Joe is such a wise, smart and passionate human being with a great sense of humor.

That’s what it did for me. Fabia is a Cyclical Living and Menstruality Expert, Yoga Teacher, Economist and is currently also studying Psychology and Religious Studies at the University of Zürich. A big piece of Fabia’s work is about seeing the menstrual cycle as the gift that it truly is. In today’s conversation we dive deep into what that means and so much more.Some of the things that we talk about are: How we can integrate cycle awareness into what can feel like a very masculine world Practicing menstrual awareness at the workplaceWhat the “four seasons” of the menstrual cycle are and how you can apply this awareness to your daily life How we can apply this wisdom to our creative process & projects What a “feminine” yoga practice looks like Fabia is an absolute joy to listen to and shares about this topic with so much wisdom and humor. One of the things that I love about Fabia’s work is that she makes cycle awareness feel so accessible. I walked away from this conversation feeling like I could easily start applying some of the concepts into my daily life.

Today’s episode is with another really special human being and creator, Savanna Jones-Martin. Savanna and I met two years ago in New York at an immersive experience that we both participated in. When I first met Savanna, I felt an immediate resonance with her. She’s a beautiful human being who is deeply embodied in her truth and her creativity. She’s a vocalist and in the last year she’s been very active with producing her own beautiful music and sharing it with the world. In 2020 she released an album called “Breath of Earth” and this year, in 2021, she released a gorgeous single called “Simplicity.” Currently, she’s in the process of producing and recording a new collection of songs that she’s written. Savanna is also an Embodiment Coach who uses Somatic Experiencing processes informed by the work of Peter Levine and she also teaches voice through a somatically-oriented therapeutic lens. She also facilitates dance and movement events and works as a ceremonial artist where she offers songs, prayers and space holding in meditative, healing and ceremonial settings. I see Savanna as someone who very much lives in her creative truth, which is one of the reasons I felt called to having her on the show. In today’s conversation she shares so many wisdoms and insights into the creative process. She is a true joy and inspiration to listen to! FIND SAVANNAWebsite: www.savannajonesmartin.comInstagram: @savannajonesmartinFIND MEwww.leahsalinas.comInstagram: @leah_salinasTHINGS WE MENTIONED IN THE EPISODEBreath of EarthSimplicity Savanna’s Embodiment Coaching work Savanna’s voice lessonsSomatic ExperiencingThe War of Art by Steven PressfieldThe Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron—This podcast has been edited and co-produced by René G.

As I’ve mentioned before, one of my main goals with this podcast is to share as many tools as possible to support you with tapping into your peak creative potential. Today’s conversation will be all about one of the most potent tools that I’ve discovered on my own journey of tapping deeper and deeper into my creativity. That tool is Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback which allows you to train different brainwaves and optimize the self-regulation of your brain. In today’s episode I share a fascinating conversation with Elena Arici who is a Psychologist and Neurofeedback Specialist. She runs her own Neurofeedback practice, called Lernwerk, with two locations in the Zürich area. I’ve been training with Elena and her team for the past 8 months and have experienced amazing results: I’m able to focus for much longer periods of time (which has allowed me to tap into deeper & longer creative flow states!), I sleep better, experience less anxiety and the training has also supported me on my journey of healing a chronic pain experience. Neurofeedback is an amazing tool that I feel should be much more widely known. So I’m delighted to share this conversation with Elena today, who is a true expert in the field. Some of the things we talk about are:What Neurofeedback is and how it worksWho can benefit from Neurofeedback Neuromeditation (an exciting new area of Neurofeedback!) How Neurofeedback can support the creative processPossible side effects you might experience during training Tips for finding a Neurofeedback practitioner if you don’t live in ZürichAdditional practices that can optimize your brain functionElena has such a wealth of information and insight to share.

Today’s conversation is special to me on so many levels. For one, it’s full of inspiration and wisdom. In addition to that, it holds a very special place in my heart because it’s with a dear childhood friend of mine: Vanessa Spiteri. Vanessa has gone on to be a professional Ballet Dancer, and she’s also performed in several musical theatre productions. She already has such a successful and multi-faceted career behind her, and she’ll share all about that in today’s conversation.This past year, she’s transitioned out of dancing full-time and has started her own online yoga business called Siayoga. Sia stands for skill in action and Vanessa’s mission is to share the practice of yoga with dancers, professional athletes and people who are avid movers in their free time. You can check out the Siayoga website by going to siayoga.com.Vanessa is such a beautiful, vibrant and inspiring human being.

It brings me so much joy to start the year off with this beautiful conversation with Melissa Bloom. Melissa is the founder of The Sisters Bloom, a sustainable stop-motion animation studio. She is also the co-founder of Lane & Lanae (a fine jewelry and home goods company). As well as a writing coach and yoga teacher at The Mindful Writer.Stop-motion animation is the practical art form of moving elements in front of a camera frame-by-frame and stringing those together to get a moving image. Unless people are being animated, the stop-motion process requires creating puppets, sets, props and other elements to create the animated world, which often results in a process that can be quite wasteful and harmful to the environment. Which is why Melissa was inspired to start her company, The Sisters Bloom, which is all about slowing down and finding new ways to create animations that produce minimal waste and are not harmful to humans or the environment. In addition to speaking about her work with the studio, Melissa goes really deep into her creative journey during today’s interview. Some of the things we talk about are:What it’s like to suddenly question the path you’ve chosenHow it’s OK to take a step back sometimesThe importance of taking baby steps if you have a big visionWhat it’s like to carve out your creative path on your own terms.

Welcome to Episode 17! In today’s episode I share a really beautiful conversation with Miranda Kelton, who is a Portrait Photographer based in Bend & Portland Oregon, as well as Los Angeles, California. She creates imagery for individuals and businesses who are looking to elevate their visual branding and market their products & services. I’ve worked with Miranda as a client myself and I can say that she not only creates gorgeous photography and is very knowledgable about personal branding, but she also brings an immense amount of creative sensitivity to the process. So if you happen to be in Oregon or California and need photos, I highly recommend checking out her work. In today’s conversation we talk about Miranda’s work as a photographer. But we also deep dive into other aspects of the creative process and Miranda shares a lot of thoughts and struggles connected to the creative process that we can all relate to. She also shares very openly about what life has been like for her this year, especially in relation to having a creative career.Enjoy the thoughts, wisdoms and insights shared in today’s conversation! Let’s dive in. FIND MIRANDAWebsite: www.mirandakelton.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/mirandakeltonphotoFacebook: www.facebook.com/mirandakeltonphoto FIND MEwww.leahsalinas.comInstagram: @leah_salinasTHINGS WE MENTIONED IN THE EPISODEMiranda’s Website: https://mirandakelton.com/Resource section on Miranda’s website: https://mirandakelton.com/blog/photography-business-resources-recommendations Miranda’s Branding Course: https://mirandakelton.com/classesMiranda’s Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/1213490440?si=LpPVCzIuQV2_Mt12Gc0P1A EPISODE QUOTES“I had this idea in my mind that someday I’d get to this enlightened artist state, where I’ll never have creative blocks again. And I’ve come to realize that that’s really not true.” - Miranda Kelton “Sometimes if I’m doing something creative other than photography, it’ll kind of have some weird crossover in my brain where it’ll open up different ideas for things I can do with photography, cause I’m doing a different thing creatively.” - Miranda Kelton —May this episode bring you joy & inspiration!xo Leah—This podcast has been edited and produced by René G.

I felt called to create a solocast that is all about how I raise my frequency. I’ve come to find that my energetic state, my frequency, is directly connected to my ability to tap in my peak creative potential. When I’m vibrating at a lower frequency, it’s much more challenging for me to receive inspiration, enter flow states and to create. And the same is true for when I’m vibrating at a higher frequency. I’ve been aware aware of this for quite some time, but over the course of this year, my awareness of this has heightened. It’s become easier for me to notice when I’m in a lower frequency state and I’ve become very clear on the exact steps I need to take to shift my state to a higher frequency. As we are all aware, this year, 2020, has been a challenging one. And in my eyes, I feel like it’s been, and continues to be, an amazing opportunity for us all to take ownership over our own energetic state. We don’t have to get sucked into whatever whirlwind is happening outside of us. My goal for today’s episode is to show you how simple it is to raise your frequency. We all deserve to feel empowered and in charge of our own inner wellbeing. So join me for this sweet 20 minute candlelight chat (yes, I recorded this by candlelight!) and let’s all step into our power as sovereign beings.

I’m absolutely delighted to have Christina Avaness on the show today, who is the Founder of Papua Coffee as well as the author of the healthy lifestyle book “Living Beyond Organic: Nutritional Knowledge Redefined!”. Christina is also a Food Alchemist and a Shakti Reiki Master. I know that coffee can have a bit of a negative reputation. Which is justified in some cases, but I’ve found that the coffee that is the centerpiece of today’s conversation is an exception. It’s called “Papua Coffee” and I’ve found that when I drink it, it fills me with a deep sense of wellbeing, both physically and mentally. I started drinking this coffee about 13 years ago, and what I started to observe, is that it actually supports me with tapping into a creative flow state. Nowadays, I consider it a key component in my toolbox of tools that I use to support me in my creative process. Christina and her family went through their own healing journey using food and herbs, which is also how the creation of Papua Coffee came about, and you’ll hear all about that in today’s episode. You’ll also learn about Christina’s spiritual journey and how her work with energy influences the roasting of the coffee. Other than that, Christina offers up some really wise and beautiful words on creativity and listening to those is a real treat as well. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to have Tina on the show and to share her wisdom with all of you!Enjoy the show, Friends! * This episode is not sponsored.

That’s really very important to me.” - Raphael Corkhill —May this episode bring you joy & inspiration!xo Leah—This podcast has been edited and produced by René G. Salinas.

Gianmarco’s seminar on Social Entrepreneurship in Zürich, Switzerland on Thursday, November 19th, 2020: Social Entrepreneurship SeminarDear Friends,Welcome to Season 2 of the podcast! I decided to give it a name change, which I share more about in the introduction to this episode. I also share an amazing conversation with Gianmarco Marinello, who is a Social Entrepreneur, an Innovator and the Founder of the social start-up Nai Nami. Nai Nami is based in Nairobi, Kenya and gives disadvantaged youths of the Mathare Slum an opportunity to use their street skills and life stories to become Storyteller Guides who give tourists an opportunity to experience Nairobi through the eyes of a street child on an intimate walking tour through the city center. All of the youth involved with Nai Nami now have a job, earn a regular income and live a life free of crime. Nai Nami won the Traveller’s Choice Award 2020 by Viator and is rated as the #1 Tour in Nairobi on TripAdvisor. In March 2019, Nai Nami was handed over to the youths who now own and successfully run this profitable business themselves. Over all, this is an amazing conversation for anyone who feels like they’re struggling to find their place in the world, regardless of whether you’re interested in becoming a social entrepreneur or something else. Some of the things we’ll be talking about are: transforming weaknesses into strengths, how you can make a positive difference in the world and the difference between purpose and passion.

And I’m not giving up until I find this spot.” - Gianmarco Marinello“Purpose is something you feel obliged to do. There is actually pressure coming from the inside… the fun part is passion: which tasks, which people, which environment is the right one…it’s easy to find out your passion, and often the purpose is hidden somewhere there.

Hey Friends! Today’s episode is the season finale! I thought this would be the perfect moment to share some of the things that I’ve been learning from creating this podcast. Even though I’m reflecting on my podcasting experience, this episode is for anyone starting anything new and is looking for some words of encouragement and support. Enjoy, and I already look forward diving into Season Two with all of you!

Today’s conversation is with the inspiring Gina Steinhauser, founder and CEO of the Swiss Kombucha company. I first met Gina and her partner, Ed, who is also working with the company, a little over a year ago and I think they’re just two completely awesome and inspiring human beings. Gina’s life looked very different before she started the Swiss Kombucha Company: she got an MBA and worked in sales and HR. Creating Kombucha began as a passion and a hobby for Gina, and it was thanks to a combination of her savvy business brain, some fantastic research that she embarked on and a few fortunate twists of fate that she manifested her passion into a successful business and a full-time job. I find Gina’s story incredibly inspiring and hope that you will too. I also want to mention that if you live in Switzerland, or happen to be passing through here, I highly recommend locating a bottle of booch from the Swiss Kombucha Company so you can try it for yourself. It is hands down the best Kombucha that I’ve ever tried and the quality and purity of the ingredients is second to none. They use organic and local ingredients whenever possible, and don’t add any sugar or preservatives. It’s truly a beautiful product.

Hello Beautiful Beings!I just wrapped up a 5 day water fast and felt called to share my experience with you here on the show. I deep dive into how I prepared for the fast, how I felt during and after the fast, and some key takeaways I wish I would’ve known before embarking on this adventure.Enjoy the show! xo LeahIG: @leah_salinaswww.leahsalinas.comTHINGS MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE“The Transformational Power of Fasting” by Stephen Harrod Buhner—This podcast has been edited and produced by René G.

Hello You Beautiful Beings!Today’s episode is a little surprise treat. When we officially finished the interview for the last episode, “Covert Creativity While Working in a 9-5 with Maria from an International Development Organization,” my guest, Maria, and I ended up having a really rich conversation about perfectionism, vulnerability, getting messy with our creativity and the inner critic or, as Maria calls it, “the goblin who lives in our head rent free.” Maria generously agreed to letting me use the footage of that conversation for today’s little episode, and I so look forward to you listening to it! Since this wasn’t an official “interview” it begins and ends a little abruptly and isn’t as structured as some of the other episodes, but I still feel that you’ll really enjoy it =)EPISODE QUOTES“People see creativity as an identity and not as an action.” - Maria—May this episode bring you joy & inspiration!xo LeahIG: @leah_salinaswww.leahsalinas.com —This podcast has been edited and produced by René G.

I’m really honored to share today’s guest. As I’ve shared before, one of my main intentions with this podcast is to promote the message that creativity doesn’t only play a role in the arts, and that you can live a life connected to your creative spirit, even when your day-to-day might not look that creative from an outsider’s perspective. Today’s guest, my dear friend Maria, is an amazing example of that. She works for an International Development Organization and is one of the most creative people that I know. She sets an amazing example that it’s still possible to remain connected to your creativity even while working in a 9-5. Although I will say that she very deliberately crafted a four day work-week for herself so that she could devote her Fridays to her creative endeavors, and during the interview we’re definitely going to get into how she achieved that and what her “Friday Makery,” as she calls it, looks like for her. Other than that, you’ll also hear how she really pours her creative energy into the work that she does for her job, which goes to show that you can remain creatively activated in all areas of your life, whether you’re working on your 9-5 or whether you’re working on your personal creative endeavors. THINGS WE MENTIONED IN THE EPISODENina Simone “Sinnerman” EPISODE QUOTES“There’s no better better feeling than when you’ve written something for someone that’s deeply personal to them or that they feel strongly about and you send the first draft back and they’re happy with it. For me that’s actually the same kick that I used to get out of writing prose creatively but actually a bit more of a kick.” - Maria “I guess creativity doesn't always look the way you think it will. I used to hate anything practical - I even used to diss something by saying "it looks too practical" ie. where's the flare or fun in that? But I guess I learnt that actually getting concrete and practical, getting down to the specifics of how you're going to make something manifest is the key ingredient. I'm only able to start painting and drawing now because I've dropped the idea that it means I'll necessarily have to go insane or starve to death to do it. That's not the way it has to be and indeed, for most of us in the world who also have to earn a living you can only keep that flame alive and get stuff done if you bring plenty of structure and logic to the party.” - Maria“Do something random. The point of creating is to create…It’s about just making things. It’s about carving out a bit of time. Even if you’ve got a few evenings, or one evening, or… all the time we spend watching telly, could we listen to something that’s like telly and is interesting and do art? It’s about trying to find those opportunities to mess around.” - Maria“I think creativity is a process of embracing failure and just picking up whatever you’re doing and just doing it. And not worrying so much about getting the perfect time or the perfect moment that you miss any moment. Just seize what moments you’ve got and just making something.” - Maria—May this episode bring you joy & inspiration!xo LeahIG: @leah_salinaswww.leahsalinas.com —This podcast has been edited and produced by René G.

I have a wonderful interview to share with all of you today: a really rich conversation with my dear friend, Brooke Brasfield. Brooke is a Healer for the Healer, a Licensed Clinical Therapist and a Spiritual Guide. You probably all know the saying that you should put on your own oxygen mask first in the plane before helping anyone else. Well, this conversation dives really deeply into that concept. Brooke’s work is all about learning how to be devoted to ourselves first before we devote ourselves to others. She works with a lot of people who are focused on healing others: therapists, coaches, parents, yoga instructors, nurses, energetic healers, doctors… And she supports these people with taking their own energy and power back, so that they approach their work from a place that feels full. She has also recently come out with an incredible new offer called “Devoted” which is designed for the types of people I just mentioned, but also really anyone who wants to be guided back to themselves and the healer within. If you’re interested in exploring that, just see the notes below and you’ll find everything you need to know to get in touch with Brooke. And other than that, some things we dive into today are tapping into your creative power, feminine creativity, the relationship between the body and creativity, and how to give yourself the space to uncover what you’re really passionate about. Brooke has such a soothing, nurturing and wise presence and I feel like listening to her speak feels like a real balm to the soul.

Really I’m allowing something bigger to work through me.” - Brooke Brasfield “Know that it’s waiting for you. That creative idea, that creative project. It’s there for each & every one of us.” - Brooke Brasfield “Creativity to me means freedom. Freedom from that box. Freedom from my own mind sometimes. Freedom within my body. Freedom within my movement, my spirit, my emotions. Just freedom.” - Brooke Brasfield —May this episode bring you joy & inspiration!xo Leah—This podcast has been edited and produced by René G.

Hello and welcome to my first ever solocast! I have to admit I was a little bit nervous about showing up for this one, which was actually kind of perfect, because today’s episode is all about THE POWER OF SHOWING UP to our creative intentions, especially when we don’t fee like it. I dive into a few tools that can making showing up easier when you feel that resistance creeping in. And I also talk about the magic that can unfold once me move past that resistance and we simply show up, regardless of how we feel in the process.

Teresa Morillas is a Nutritional Counselor and a Holistic Health Coach. She’s one of the most qualified and knowledgable health coaches that I’ve ever come across. Just to give you a sense of her qualifications, I’ll share some of them here: she has a Master’s Degree in Food Engineering from the University of Almería in Spain, where she also earned a Master’s Degree in Agronomy. She also has a Master of Advanced Studies in Nutrition and Health from the ETH University in Zurich, Switzerland. She received an Immunology Certificate from Rice University. She received her Holistic Nutrition Health Coach certificate from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, where she also took advanced courses to become a Hormone Health Specialist. And finally, she’s currently deepening her connection to the mind-body relationship by studying for a Mind-Body Eating Coach Certification at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Teresa is currently offering coaching to private clients and also has an amazing and incredibly informative blog, you can learn more about both of those things here: www.yourlifeonaplate.com One of the reasons I wanted to have Teresa on the show is because I believe that feeling good and in balance within our bodies is such an essential part of tapping into our peak creative potential. And I believe that the work that Teresa does with her clients is to guide them closer to that place.Teresa herself went through a powerful journey of initially living a life where she was successful by external standards, but internally she felt out of alignment and was slowly burning herself out. In today’s conversation she talks quite extensively about that experience and how she worked her way through and out of that and is now enjoying a life where she’s connected with her health again, she’s doing work that she loves doing and she has also rekindled her relationship with her creative spirit.
