Olivia Amitrano — founder of Organic Olivia and now recording artist OLIVIA — returns to explore the art of reinvention, inner child healing, and overcoming the fear of the unknown. Olivia opens up about shedding the identity that built her success, rediscovering creativity through play, and learning to trust herself again after a period of deep change. She shares how solo travel, sobriety, and stillness led her back to her truest self, and how embracing imperfection and presence opened the door to her next evolution as an artist. Together, we discuss the courage it takes to outgrow old versions of yourself, why creative play is medicine, and how being present — not perfect — is the ultimate definition of living Ever Forward.

#189 - A cone head at baggage claim. A prank that makes a whole terminal laugh. And beneath the costumes and skits, a marriage held together by faith, service, and a fierce tenderness forged in grief. We sit down with Troy and Melinda Hicks—Hicks in the Wild—to explore how everyday adventure can coexist with loss and how playful creativity becomes a lifeline.Their love story starts in college, survives a mission and distance, and grows into a partnership where roles fit like puzzle pieces: Melinda crafts the ideas and heart-forward projects; Troy builds the systems, supply chains, and giving model. That model was born from pain. They share the sudden preterm birth of their son Tanner at 24 weeks, three days in the NICU, and the sacred details that became anchors—a donated blanket and cap, a father who knew how to navigate the unthinkable. Melinda now sews tiny blankets and diaper covers for NICU babies, transforming sorrow into service families can feel in their hands.The Hicks also walk through a second crucible: their five-month-old's neck tumor and the week of terror before a successful surgery. That experience reframed hospitals as places of skill and hope, inspiring them to donate a percentage of their revenue to Phoenix Children's Hospital. We dig into their mission-driven venture, Searching for Jesus, a Christ-centered Advent tradition that turned their December into daily wonder and helped their kids fall in love with prayer. Along the way, we talk viral moments, Lord Farquaad gags, a months-long “bird landing” quest, and the simple rule that guides their content—if it isn't fun, they don't do it.What emerges is a blueprint for meaningful, joyful living: schedule delight, let faith hold your anger long enough to heal, make small things that help real people, and keep choosing each other through the messy middle of family life. Adventure, they remind us, isn't a mountain or an ocean crossing—it's a decision to move forward without knowing every turn, and to laugh together when you can.

"I am a Mediterranean painter" - Cy TwomblyWelcome to Episode #125:In 1952 Robert Rauschenberg photographed his friend and fellow artist Cy Twombly standing with a thin notebook next to Constantine's colossal hand while on holiday in Rome. They were together on a traveling arts scholarship. They traveled extensively for months in Italy and North Africa. Five years later Cy Twombly moved from America to live in Rome, Italy.Cy Twombly (1928-2011) made a life in Rome as an artist. He kept the art world at bay, painting vast canvases full of white space with a trademark style to his work, secluding himself in places like Gaeta, Bassano and Rome. Twombly would take many journeys over his lifetime. Moving between places and homes and making art. Twombly's fascination with ancient civilisations, the Mediterranean cultures, the Greco and the Roman would converge on his canvases. A love of literature and poetry underlines his art. This is a story about place, art and history, and how they intersect on the canvas of life. Musical Scores by Richard JohnstonShownotes at MichelleJohnston.lifeA Writer in Italy InstagramSubstack - At My TableMichelle's Books© 2025  A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2025Support the show

Inspiring episode of The Create Podcast, host Ekaterina (Kat) Popova sits down with artist, author, and creativity coach Carrie Schmitt to explore what it means to fall in love with your creativity again — to trust it, surrender to it, and let it lead you toward healing and joy. Carrie shares her powerful story of transformation, from facing a life-threatening illness to rediscovering painting as a divine and loving force that carried her through darkness and back into light. Together, Kat and Carrie discuss creativity as a sacred relationship — one rooted in devotion, acceptance, and self-compassion rather than perfection or control.   You'll hear insights on: Reconnecting with your creative spirit through trust and love Letting go of judgment, pressure, and self-criticism Finding inspiration and meaning in difficult seasons Healing creative wounds and learning to create for joy, not approval Viewing creativity as a living, supportive presence in your life   Carrie's book, Awakening Creativity: A Sacred Journey to Reclaim Your Inner Artist, is an invitation to remember the beauty and wisdom that flow through you every time you create.

The other day I found myself walking through a parking garage stairwell in Iowa City, and I realized they were using the same scent design as the local mall in Bratislava where we used to live. Half-shocked, half-amused, I climbed the cement stairs as I remembered riding the escalator through the same subtle scent cloud two years ago. The memory was visceral. Though we don't always think about it, our sensory experiences have a strong impact on how we feel and how we work. I do my best work in a situation where I feel comfortable. In fact, I generally prefer not to work at home because step one, for me, to working at home is often to clean the entire house, put music on, light a candle, pick flowers, make tea, etc. and so I spent an hour prepping to work before I do anything. I bet you've already put considerable time and effort into making your classroom a space where you feel comfortable and where students feel welcome. Today isn't about changing any of that; it's just about finding small places where you might be able to tune your sensory dashboard in class to make it work even better for you and your kiddos. By thinking specifically about the five senses - just like we have students do in their writing - you can find easy wins to make the workspace more welcoming, energizing, and comfortable for everyone inside.

Combining incredibly tight and expressive platforming with nonlinear Metroidvania design and a vibey soundtrack, Pseudoregalia is a very good snack of a game, though not without some critical discussion points.

What if healing isn't about becoming more, it's about remembering who you already are? In today's episode of The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Martha Beck for one of the most profound and heart-opening conversations I've had about healing, awakening, and living in truth.  Dr. Beck opens up about the out-of-body psychic experience during surgery that became her doorway from trauma and anxiety into joy, peace, and wholeness. She reveals the messages she received from the light of consciousness and so much more. With three degrees from Harvard, she reminds us that true wisdom lives where science meets spirit – in the lived experience of awakening. Together, we explore what it really means to awaken while staying grounded in the body – how to find safety in spirituality after trauma, and why awakening isn't about striving but about releasing what isn't true. We also dive into gentle, trauma-informed entry points to meditation, her framework for dissolving anxiety, the importance of shadow integration, and joy as a spiritual strength.  I can't wait to hear how this episode resonates & what opens up for you.    === Episode Time Stamps 00:00 – Intro 00:48 – Paranormal experiences, awakening, living beyond anxiety 03:05 – The OR Experience: "I wasn't dead, but I left my body" 06:15 – Communion, joy, and the core messages 09:58 – Waking Up  12:00 – Aftermath: Trauma flashbacks, life upheaval, and the light remains 16:40 – What Science Can / Can't Explain about NDEs 19:30 – Psychic: Remote Viewing Stories during Pregnancy 22:05 – "What if a Critical Mass Awakened?"

On this podcast, we talk a lot about meditation, but it's far from the only way to connect with the deepest part of yourself and build a stable, joyful mind. There are so many other paths to reach that same inner stillness: spending time in nature, practicing yoga, exercising, making music, writing, or creating art.For Scott, art was his meditation long before he ever learned to sit in silence. Our friend John Simon Jr. feels this connection just as deeply, so much so that he wrote a whole book about it called Drawing Your Own Path.Scott and John first met years ago through their shared love of creating art with computer software. Recently, they reunited at John's home in New York State to talk about how drawing by hand (the old-fashioned way) can be a profound meditation in itself. It's a beautiful reminder that creativity, presence, and peace can flow through any form of expression.Episode 207: Drawing As Meditation with John Simon Jr. Support the show

Creativity through the lens of a singer/songwriter"Creativity, it's all about your imagination"Tom Ciurczak (Sir-Zak) offers up an infectious blend of energetic rhythms, danceable beats and powerful storytelling lyrics that make you think you are listening to a crossbreed of Bruce Springsteen, Warren Zevon and Steve Earle, complete with Eagles-esque harmonies and hook-laden Eric Clapton style guitar work. Tom learned, early on, about music's complex and distinct sounds and rhythms as well as the imagery that great storytelling can evoke.  In his mid 20's, Tom moved to the West Coast where he soon found work in the Specialty Lighting industry. Marriage and 2 young children meant putting his musical ambitions on hold, although he continued to write songs almost daily as he traveled the world to seek out the newest innovations in lighting. His career established him as an outstanding businessman, as he built three very successful Specialty Lighting Companies: Osram, Ushio and his own company, BLC International. Through it all, he continued to hear the siren's song as songwriting provided the creative outlet in his life.  Things changed in 2014, when Tom decided to dust off his prodigious arsenal of songs and put them to the test. When he attended recording artist Steve Earle's Songwriters Master Class and Retreat, he knew that he had found his people. From there, he turbo-charged his songs, taking them to a whole new level.  On June 26th 2025 the Album YORICK was released, highlighted by the title track Yorick based on a character from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It also included critically acclaimed singles, The Watcher and On Top Of The Rainbow.Tom performs regularly at music venues throughout Southern California to promote his own brand of Heartland Rock.  Singer/songwriter/recording artist Tom Ciurczak is proof that, once lit, the musical spark never dies – it's just waiting for the right time to blaze its magic.www.tomciurczak.comhttps://music.apple.com/us/artist/tom-ciurczak/1523602233https://open.spotify.com/artist/4kSCXkEUWwUq5ykqyEf1Dnhttps://www.instagram.com/tokyotommy58/https://www.youtube.com/@tomciurczak8782Tom Ciurczak Band: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092202082226Tom Ciurczak: https://www.facebook.com/tom.ciurczakSend us a text

If you're the kind of person who walks into a room and picks up the subtle vibes immediately, and that energy sometimes drains you, listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Lauren Sapala, an author, teacher and creative guide, on honoring your intuition.  “The basic strategy I teach is that most writing methods are achievement oriented. They really hold a lot of masculine energy.”  — Lauren SapalaIf you're highly sensitive, chances are you experience the world differently. You might see and feel things that others just don't. You've probably always seen that as a detriment, but it doesn't have to be. Your perceptions are actually a gift that can help you better understand yourself and others. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women's coach, welcomes Lauren Sapala, author of several non-fiction books for intuitive creatives, including The INFJ Writer, The INFJ Revolution and Writing on the Intuitive Side of the Brain. In their discussion on living a more creative, empowered life as a sensitive intuitive, they'll talk about boundaries, overcoming overwhelm, and finding a community where your creative process can unfold safely and help move you toward healing. You can find the full show notes and resources mentioned here- https://www.elizabethcushcoaching.com/awaken-your-wise-woman-podcastSupport the show

Today's conversation is with two of my favorite worship leaders, Jenna Nicholson and Zoe Kuhn, and I've been waiting to have this one for a while.I first met Jenna and Zoe at a book release event I was producing at church, and they closed the night with a song called "New Thing" that absolutely slayed me. I thought it was just the season I was in that made it hit so hard, but turns out every time I hear it, it strikes me just as deeply. If you're in a season of transition, pain, confusion, or well… anything, this song is a balm to the soul.Today, we're talking about hidden seasons… the stretches of time when you're wondering if God's plan includes your dreams. Jenna shares about the question God keeps asking her: "If this doesn't happen the way you want it to, do you still think I'm good?" We talk about what it's like to make music in Music City and how the comparison trap can't rob you of your calling. There's so much that's helpful here.These two exude joy, and this was a refreshing conversation on every level. Go right now and download their music.

unforgettable conversation. Chef and writer Jeremy Lee — the beloved face of Quo Vadis in Soho — takes us deep into the story of modern British cooking, creativity, and the art that connects them all. From Elizabeth David's revolutionary food writing to Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail philosophy, Jeremy paints a vivid picture of how Britain's culinary culture transformed from postwar blandness to global influence.Along the way, he recalls his early years with Terence Conran, the visionary designer who turned dining into an art form, and shares intimate memories of icons like Anthony Bourdain, AA Gill, and Alastair Little — the “rockstar chef” who changed everything.Full of warmth, humour, and wisdom, this episode explores how food, design, and storytelling intertwine to create culture — and why the best meals are still about generosity, imperfection, and joy.If you care about British food, restaurant history, creativity, or the people who built the scene we know today — this is a must-watch. =============================================

Melanie Perkins is CEO and co-founder of Canva, currently valued at over $42 billion, generating over $3 billion in annual revenue, with more than 240 million monthly active users and, incredibly, eight consecutive years of profitability. But the journey was far from smooth. Melanie was rejected by over 100 investors during her first fundraising round, her team spent two years without being able to ship a new feature during a technical rewrite, and the company pivoted early from a yearbook publishing platform to become the design powerhouse it is today. Through it all, she maintained what she calls “column B” thinking: building toward a dream future rather than just using the bricks around you.We discuss:1. How “column B” thinking helped Melanie build Canva, by starting with an impossible vision rather than existing constraints2. The power of setting “crazy big goals”3. How Canva survived a painful two-year period without shipping any new features while rewriting their codebase4. How Melanie pushed through 100 investor rejections, and how she used each rejection to strengthen her pitch5.
