A podcast reflecting on healing through art, love & spirituality. The Closeted Artist Podcast is an extension of my paintings -- it is a safe space to talk about things that go below surface-level. Halie Torris interviews some of her favorite artists and
The Closeted Artist Podcast is a truly remarkable and inspiring show hosted by Halie Morrison. From the moment I started listening, I was captivated by her soothing voice and the authenticity that shines through in every episode. What sets this podcast apart from others is how Halie combines her passion for art with her spiritual beliefs and personal journey, creating a unique and uplifting experience for listeners.
One of the best aspects of The Closeted Artist Podcast is Halie's ability to create a calming atmosphere through her voice and storytelling. Each episode feels like a conversation with a close friend, making it easy to connect with her experiences and insights. Her discussions about art, creativity, spirituality, and personal growth are thought-provoking and have inspired me to explore new artistic avenues and embrace my own creative process fully.
Another standout feature of this podcast is Halie's openness about her own struggles as an artist and as an individual. She shares vulnerable moments from her life, such as dealing with ptsd and agoraphobia, which adds depth to the conversations. This transparency fosters a sense of genuine connection between the host and the audience, reminding us that we are not alone in our journeys.
If there's one criticism I have of The Closeted Artist Podcast it would be that there are sometimes long breaks between episodes. As someone who eagerly looks forward to each installment, I wish there was more consistency in release dates. However, I understand that life can get busy, especially for someone as multi-talented as Halie.
In conclusion, The Closeted Artist Podcast is an absolute gem that deserves all the recognition it can get. Halie's beautiful voice combined with her unique blend of artistry and spirituality creates a space where listeners can find inspiration, solace, and encouragement on their own creative journeys. Whether you're an artist or simply someone seeking personal growth, this podcast will leave you feeling uplifted and motivated to embrace your own gifts and share them with the world.
