Dr. Eric Maisel discussed the profound and often contentious issues surrounding mental health, religion, psychiatry, and the nature of human consciousness. Dr. Maisel, a prolific author and critical thinker, shares his insights on the pathologization of everyday struggles, the impact of psychiatric diagnoses, and the importance of reclaiming personal meaning and resilience. Dr. Eric Maisel is a psychotherapist, coach, teacher and author of more than 50 books that include “ Rethinking Depression: How to shed mental health labels and create personal meaning” published in 2012 , “The Future of Mental Health: Deconstructing the Mental Disorder Paradigm in 2015 and his most recent book “Redesign Your Mind” published in 2021. His contributions are diverse and vast. A lifelong atheist, Maisel described in his 2009 book The Atheist's Way: Living Well Without Gods how individuals can negotiate the paradigm shift from seeking meaning (in religion, spiritual pursuits, or anywhere else) to making meaning.

The conversation concludes with a discussion on the history and criticisms of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and the medicalization of mental health.

They explore the role of psychiatry in controlling and labeling individuals, the importance of embracing darkness and suffering as part of the human experience, and the need for individual and collective resistance against harmful systems. 00:00 Introduction: The Medicalization of Human Experience04:06 Guest Introduction: Dr. Eric Maisel's Background and Interests09:21 Early Experiences and Observations12:18 Personal Story: Dr. Maisel's Father14:48 Exploring the Notion of God and Meaning17:53 Observing Human Behavior and Values20:10 The Significance of Synchronicities26:23The Concept of the Soul and Unexplainable Phenomena31:07 Determining What is Right and Wrong34:34 Reflections on Meditation and Seeking Explanations37:00 Exploring Higher States of Consciousness and Love44:28 Critiques of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders56:07 The Medicalization of Mental Health01:04:35 The Role of Psychiatry in Social Control01:08:18 Resistance Against Harmful Systems01:18:47 The Future of Mental Health: Individual Efforts and Peaceful Activism*If you are in crisis or believe you have an emergency, please contact your doctor or dial 911.

This episode is named after a book by Eric Maisel, PhD that I am currently reading.  From the initial chapters, I can tell you that it is about changing not only what you  think, but also how you think, using the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy.  On the back jacket of the book, the author includes information that will ultimately do the following: “∙ increase your creativity ∙ reduce your anxiety ∙ heal from past trauma ∙ achieve emotional well-being, and ∙ live your life purpose.” Some people need a book to help guide them on such a transformational learning experience.  Other people live it and just seem to figure out how to get through it.   My guest on today's episode of the FFAB podcast is such a person.   I honestly do not remember where Carmelina Baccari and I first met.  It must have been through socializing somewhere among mutual friends. She and I bumped into each other recently at a wedding—of a mutual friend that neither one of us knew that we shared. Carmelina and I chatted briefly, and I knew that hers is a story that must be told—boldly and widely.  It is a tale of redesign, reformation, and resilience.  It is also one of choice, healing, self-love, and the paradox of losing yourself to re-create yourself.   Carmelina joins me today via Streamyard on the Forever FAB Podcast to discuss healing, self-love, and the paradox of losing yourself to re-create yourself.

Is it possible to create within fashion-culture and not create environmental waste? For fiber artist and natural dyer, Lesley Darling, this question is as much a part of her lifestyle as it is her artwork. Her passion for whole systems (from animal to thread) have landed her in places such Sweden, Whales and various folk schools in the U.S. foraging and growing natural dyes and contemplating not often contemplated topics, such as the history of string. She reminds us that many of the old ways of doing things were not in fact “broken,” that traditional skills remain relevant and good for us even today. It's up to us to be on the search and to share, listen and give it a try…even if it's with an angora rabbit in your lap (watch the live interview to see the bunny!).

"About Rahti Gorfien: As a struggling actor and standup comic, I used to start support groups for myself around writing, getting to auditions, etc. I really liked Julia Cameron's ‘The Artists Way' and worked through that book 3 times…once solo and twice in groups I formed with friends. Speaking of groups, I also started a Wishcraft Team inspired by Barbara Sher that collectively resulted in a yoga business, a bookstore and a DJ.  I seemed to have a gift for facilitating change. Finally, I knew it was the right business to pursue because one day my husband said “You're good at this stuff.  Start charging.”  And since I was burning out on cooking, temping and a myriad of other serial day jobs, I took his advice. In retrospect, the diversity of my background is clearly a key element in the evolution of my coaching style.  As an actor, playwright, standup comic, private cook, company manager, restaurant hostess and adoptive parent,  I can accurately say that I've experienced life from many enriching perspectives.   I even spent several years as a full-time yogini living at an ashram in Pennsylvania!  If you haven't guessed by now, I'm a seeker, and as a result my approach is both humorous and compassionate.  As for street cred in terms of days and hours, in addition to having become a professionally certified coach,  I have been helping individuals realize their creative, vocational, and personal potential since 1990.  So bring it.

In this episode:   Are you a creative, an artist who often asks what's the point? Maybe you are creating for the sake of creating (you are not a professional yet, who makes a living making art) but you are losing your steam and doubt yourself. Many people make crap and they are proud of it, but you still struggle to believe in yourself? Some people deal with more doubts, inadequacy, and judgment because of their Human Design. (when we work together we look into that too) The one practical idea on this episode is: stop throwing obstacles underneath your feet, stop wasting energy on doubts and use this energy for creativity.  What is the value of your creativity?  The value of making art (for you): self-expression, getting better and better at this, higher self-esteem (because it is your authentic expression, therefore squishing that expression squishes your life's force), expanding your creative potential, release of creative anxiety. Creating flow in the channel of inspiration. Making room for more, bigger, better ideas.  Even if you make bad art,  (not as good as you wished) - you need to make it. Eric Maisel's quote on writing bad pages "You need to write the bad to write the good. You can always throw away the bad paragraphs, but first, you need to write them"  My epiphany after painting a kitschy painting and loving it.  My experience with writing a blog in English (it's my second language) and looking back at the blogs I wrote years ago, seeing all the mistakes and feeling horrible shame ... Epiphany: even though shame is one of the most painful emotions a human may feel, I would take it over the pain of hoarding ideas.(!!!)  Value of your creativity for others. (my experience with sharing my art, my experience with another person's art. Being delighted with imperfect art: it didn't have to be a masterpiece, it just had to be done. and shared.) What to do about the fear of critique, judgment, etc.  What I noticed while coaching on public speaking.  Creativity and life coaching: https://positivelyrebellious.com

This week on The Melting Pot, we learned from Eric Maisel, creativity coach and trainer of creativity coaches. He writes the ‘Rethinking The Mental Health' blog for Psychology Today, which has more than three million views, and he's the lead editor for the Ethics International Press Critical Psychology and Critical Psychiatry series. Eric is also the author of more than 50 books covering the areas of creativity, life, purpose, meaning, and mental health.Once upon a time, in a world filled with rules and orthodoxies, Eric discovered the power of self-forgiveness, purpose, and creativity. Growing up in a neighbourhood where the aftermath of World War II still lingered, he was instilled with the idea of being a resistance fighter against societal norms at a young age. This spirit of opposition led him to question the status quo and seek out his own life purposes. He faced the challenges of being a smart individual in a society that often sought to silence voices like his. Through this struggle, Eric learned the importance of embracing one's individuality and passions. Over time, he developed into a creativity coach, guiding artists and entrepreneurs on their journeys to self-discovery and success.In this episode, Eric talks about one of his books, Redesign Your Mind, and cognitive therapy, and how it works on your thoughts. In his book, Eric proposes a methodology for changing your thoughts or replacing them with something else. He also about entrepreneurs and how he coaches them, as well as artists, who he thinks share many things but are also very different. He shares some tips about how to get in flow, his thoughts about burnout, and how to live a better life and lower your anxiety.  Download and listen to learn more. On today's podcast: Being smart in a non-smart worldWhy are people burnt out?The creative power of sleepThe trances of workingHow to redesign your mind Follow Eric Maisel:WebsiteLinkedInRedesign Your MindWhy Smart Teens Hurt Book recommendations:Eric has always felt that he is in the existential tradition, a specific philosophical and literary tradition.

Are you on the verge of burnout and overwhelm? There are options for you as an entrepreneur who feels this way: you can quit, pivot, or pause. You are about to hear from a creative entrepreneur who left private practice in homeopathy after burning out, getting into a motorcycle accident, and being diagnosed with cancer at 58. Sometimes life whispers and other times shouts to get us to make some big life changes. Meryl Cook shares her story of how she came back and left her 20-year career behind and got into rug hooking. Oodles of hooking jokes abound. Color, texture, joy, and self-compassion define Meryl Cook's work as a fiber artist and writer in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. As an emerging artist, Meryl is becoming best known for her use of the Chakra colors and her Wild Woman series. Her current mediums are rug hooking, spinning, wet felting, and journaling. What began as a way of holding space for herself following breast cancer treatment has led Meryl to a career as an artist and writer, inspiring others to connect with their joy and sense of purpose. What makes her process unique is the ties between her writing and design. All her designs begin with her journal, where she writes and sketches about becoming the powerful, joyful, exuberant woman she was always meant to be.  Chakra color theory and a technique of tapping into the body feeling also influence her designs. Meryl works in her home studio in Dartmouth, overlooking the Halifax Harbour. She is a member of ART1274 Hollis Gallery. She is a Journal Council member of the International Association for Journal Writing (IAJW).  Meryl is the author of two books, One Loop At a Time, A Story Of Rughooking, Healing, and Creativity (2016), and One Loop at a Time: The Creativity Workbook (2017). Meryl is the chapter author of “Journaling and the Reinvention of the Self One Loop at a Time” in Transformational Journaling for Coaches, Therapists, and Clients edited by Lynda Monk and Eric Maisel (Routledge, 2021), and “Journaling and Design Inspiration” in The Great Book of Journaling: How Journal Writing Can Support a Life of Wellness, Creativity, Meaning, and Purpose, edited by Eric Maisel and Lynda Monk (Mango, 2022). In conclusion, if you're feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout as an entrepreneur, it's important to remember that you have options. Whether it's quitting, pivoting, or pausing, taking action to prioritize your well-being and make changes in your life can lead to a more fulfilling and rewarding journey.

REVIEWS: For moms like me, the pandemic was an opportunity to re-evaluate and course-correct things in our lives we weren't thrilled with. Coming out of this period, sluggish yet motivated, so many of us can use this book to help us wake up! If you're looking to refresh, reenergize, and yes, reimagine a better version of your life, this book is for you. I loved the hilarious, yet poignant stories about motherhood today and the window into the world of those who've gone for it – and did it. - Macollvie Neel, Brooklyn, NY This chapter is about getting in touch with your creative, playful, imaginative side. The part of yourself that perhaps felt freer before you became a parent, before you chose your identity and had a lot of responsibilities weighing you down. In helping you get in touch with your more playful, creative self, it not only helps you on a path toward greater happiness and fulfillment, but it also helps you to feel more fulfilled as a parent. – Mom/PR The words: imagination, play and fun are not the usual things we as mothers think of when wondering how to get a grip back on our career and I believe it provides a really fresh take and lots of food for thought for mothers reading it. I think that the tone is so energetic and fresh that it is why I would pick it up. – Latina Mom/Positive Psychology Coach Melissa is a mom of three with big dreams who tells it like it is. She draws on her own experiences and the experiences of professionals she's interviewed for her podcast to reflect on the plight of the mother. How do women conform to or challenge the traditional “mom script”? If you're a mom, what can you do to break the “cultural glass ceiling” to be yourself and a great parent, all without having to force yourself into a mom mold that doesn't fit you? Melissa is like a great friend, honest and wise and funny, telling you about her life and asking you to reflect on yours. This book is a great purchase for moms in every stage of life. – Aspiring Novelist, Librarian, Mom To Two Kiddos In her book, Melissa shows us that motherhood does not have to be a pause or an end of your pre-child self. With guidance from her podcast guests, she encourages us to think big, find what lights us up, think big, and move towards our goals with the steps that fit the reality of our lives as they are today. In doing so we honor and inspire our child(ren), and our own inner child. – Single Mom To A 12-Year Old Boy

What if we've gotten meaning all wrong? Perhaps “searching for meaning” is completely the wrong way to think about things. If we can reconceptualise, it may be far easier to build a life suffused with meaning and joy. Dr Eric Maisel has been fascinated by the subject of meaning since he was a small child. This week Andrew and Eric discuss Eric's new book, which suggests that meaning is just a feeling, and that purpose is a choice. Dr. Eric Maisel is the author of more than 50 books. His interests include creativity, life purpose and meaning; mental health and critical psychology; and parenting in a “mental disorder” age. Dr. Maisel writes the “Rethinking Mental Health” blog for Psychology Today and is a regular contributor to Mad in America, where he founded and edited its parent resources section. Among his favourite things are leading Deep Writing workshops around the world (in places like Paris, London, Rome, Dublin, Prague, New York and San Francisco), working with individual creativity coaching clients, and producing interesting and useful programs (like his Life Purpose Boot Camp Self-Paced Instructor Training).   If You're Looking for More….

For many artists that want to market and sell their work, finding a balance between studio practice and business life is challenging. There are pitfalls in spending too much time on the business side of your practice, and drawbacks to not paying enough attention to this. Finding a good balance between your art and your art business is not simply a time management issue, but also one of your focus and emotional investment. A key to navigating this balance is being flexible because your needs for greater focus for either studio time or business change over time, depending on your current situation with your work and your financial needs. Besides time management, also consider where you find that your focus and emotional energy are best spent. Not everyone wants to invest a lot of themselves in marketing their work, teaching workshops, or other forms of art business. Motivation for becoming involved in art business needs to be an inner drive. Art business can be stressful and there is no shame in deciding not to go in that direction. Deciding to begin or develop your art business requires artwork that is consistent and of good quality, and confidence in yourself. It is common for people to either be too eager to enter the art business world or too reticent, so seeking honest, objective feedback is valuable to understand if you are at a good point to go forward. If you do become involved in art business, finding systems that work for you is crucial. You need ways to track expenses and income, and to manage other aspects of your art career like maintaining your website. What you hear from various art business in terms of advice may or may not suit you personally, so you may need to be creative in finding ways that do. As you go forward, prioritizing your studio time and setting aside enough time to feel creative flow is always critical. Without the focus on your art, there is no reason to be involved in marketing or art business. As your work improves and becomes more widely displayed and collected, the challenges of balancing studio and business focus can shift. Exhibits, for example, require great effort on both fronts. But experience with art business does ease the way, as you learn what works for you. Thanks to everyone who has been sharing the show and donating!

As artists, many of us honor the age-old tradition of creating our work with nothing more than our hands, a few tools, and materials that have stood the test of time. Yet we also live in a high-tech world, and that impacts all of us. How artists view technology ranges from a necessary evil to a full embrace of its creative possibilities. But we should all understand that technology itself is not a new factor in making art. Today we'll look at some of the ways technology has been used over time in art and ways to think about it in our current world. Dealing with technology can feel daunting and unnatural to the way you approach your work or it may be something you embrace enthusiastically. But it impacts all of us in life as well as in art. For artists, technology represents an intersection of scientific knowledge and creative output. It means knowledge that expands the known boundaries of what can be done in the name of creativity. But thinking of technology as something only relevant to artists today does not consider the long history of technical advances that aid in creative production. A good example is the use of the camera obscura during the Renaissance by artists like Leonardo da Vinci to understand and depict perspective in painting. In addition, there have been countless advances in art materials, tools, and equipment that make our creative lives more expansive today. Many artists today embrace new forms of technology in their work, including digital media, 3-D printing, and Artificial Intelligence. Yet traditional forms of art in which we see the hand of the artist will always have human appeal, and it's important to not feel pushed into technology to feel your art is relevant. But whatever approach is right for you, being open to the changes in art that result from technology, being curious and appreciative of its place in the flow of art ideas over time is important.

Each type of painting media that an abstract artist uses has specific qualities that make it suitable for certain approaches-- and less so for others. As part of your studio practice, it's important to understand and work with the qualities of different media rather than trying to push against their nature. And it is also exciting to explore outside your typical media to see what each has to offer. Today we'll look at several media used for abstract painting—oil, acrylic, encaustic, watercolor, and mixed media approaches and touch on the benefits and challenges of each. A basic art theory concerns the idea that each art media has unique characteristics to explore and exploit. There is also plenty of middle ground; various media lend themselves to layering, for example. But in exploring various media for different purposes, you may discover new ideas and directions for your work. Water based media tend to offer possibilities for spontaneity, while oil painting offers special luminosity of color. The material qualities of various paints also play a special role in abstraction, when color, line, and physical texture can be important be an important presence for their own sakes. Along with choosing painting media that is in line for your intentions, the tools associated with the medium are a consideration. Experimenting with tools that are outside traditional choices can be exciting, but if you are truly a brush painter, for example, you would probably work best with a fluid media like oil, acrylic, watercolor, and gouache rather than thicker media like oil mixed with cold wax medium, or encaustic. Exploring these different media is exciting, and often leads to a cross-pollination of ideas. For example, you might work through several iterations of an image using water-based media that sets up quickly, and then moving some of those ideas into oil. Or you might increase the scale of a small acrylic study to a large mixed media piece. A shape that you play with in acrylic may take on more depth or dimensionality when you build it up in layers of oil paint. Each medium has distinct effects and potential.

Dr Eric Maisel appears and has a new book on the horizon. He has written more than 50 books and shares his decades of experience with Dr Pinkston. This episode reviews the mislabeling and all too aggressive measures of pharmaceutical therapies in psychiatric disorders used by medical professionals in this day and age. More and more children are misdiagnosed and treated with pharmaceuticals that are not FDA approved or indicated in children and the algorithms lack inclusion of the correct diagnosis and multitude of non pharmaceutical measures that should be utilized. The same rule applies for adult therapies. Pharmaceuticals can be helpful when used correctly but there are many non drug therapies available to patients discussed in this segment.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As artists we all recognize that intuition plays a role in what we do, but what that role is can seem mysterious and elusive. Like many concepts in art, we tend to use the words intuitive and intuition loosely because they defy exact description. But a closer look may help you understand its place in your own way of working, and to better access its power. If trusting intuition doesn't come easily to you, you are not alone. Today we will talk about what intuition is, why it can be challenging to trust, and ways to nurture it in your work. The word ‘intuition' has its roots in the Latin intueri which means ‘to look at or toward' or ‘to contemplate'. This points to the foundation of intuition, which requires an openness, an awareness of your true self, your experiences, and emotions, that you can use in your work. When you have that base, the inner knowing that we call intuition can be accessed. Intuition also comes from being in the moment, and tends to motivate us toward action and decisions. It is motivating and energizing, but it can be counteracted by second guessing and hesitation. Rational thought is important too of course, the need to step back to analyze how things are going. We need critical thinking to improve and evaluate our work. But in creative work, the original impulse is intuitive. When your work comes from your deepest self, that is rarely a purely rational or intellectual source. Left-brain thinking can support and help develop the original idea. But what gets you rolling, provides the excitement and energy, is generally not primarily intellectual, but instead emotional or experiential. Many artists want to be able to develop and to trust their intuition but they feel inhibited by their rational minds, or by fears of being judged if they allow their inner selves to be more visible. Making art sometimes from as pure an intutive source as possible is a good way to develop your intuition. It's important to honor and nurture intuition however you can access it, whether in small decisions or in larger, more inspiring ways that get to your deeper sense of self-expression.

Artistic expression is driven by an inner need to be your authentic self, to express what is true and unique in your individual experiences and thoughts. That may sound straightforward, but as we know, there is nothing easy about finding the creative voice that is yours, dedicating your time and energy to its expression, or putting the work that results out into the world. Creative expression challenges us to be honest, to focus, face our fears, and to understand and cope with failure. We can feel alone in this journey, but countless other people in all fields of endeavor have followed their creative urges and found a way forward. Today we are excited to welcome our special guest -- author, entrepreneur and award-winning graphic designer Joey Cofone. Joey has designed and art directed over 100 products from zero to launch. His design work has been featured in Fast Company, Bloomberg, New York Magazine, Newsweek, Bon Appétit, and more. He is also the author of the exciting new book that we're going to be talking about today, “The Laws of Creativity”, which has been called “a comprehensive exploration of the curiosity, discipline, playfulness, and persistence necessary to usher new ideas into the world.” Joey discusses various aspects of nurturing creativity, starting with challenges inhibitions instilled in us as children, such as feeling we need to know the outcome of what we take on, or hesitating to question established rules. He talks about many aspects of working on your creative mindset as the foundation of making art and getting it out into the world, including understanding risk-taking and fear, and the importance of truly enjoying what you do and the joys of creativity.

Structure, people. It's everything. Or it's a very simple thing. Like I said in the shownotes, for fiction, chronological 3rd or 1st person, present or past tense, following the protagonist through the story is the white-button-down and jeans of structure. Always appropriate, almost invisible. For non-fiction, it's harder—there is no fall-back basic, but a good trick is to pretend your book is either a chronological story or a how-to and start from there, then see what feels right and what feels wrong about it. Overlaying a very practical structure on a philosophical topic can make it more accessible to the reader—and easier to write.I threw in a bunch of book references to this one. Our stand-by, The Art of the Book Proposal from Eric Maisel. The Christie Affair, The Jane Austen Society and Bloomsbury Girls, Adult Assembly Required, The Arc, The Mutual Friend.Hope the blueprint is going well for you!

I Episode Info| In this episode, Sinéad speaks with Eric Maisel, a former family therapist, creativity coach, and brilliant thinker who originated the profession of creativity coaching in the United States. Maisel also created Kirism, a holistic philosophy for living. After many years of working in family therapy, Maisel realized the increasing medicalization of wellness and the ineffectiveness of the traditional therapeutic model to meet the evolutionary needs of human beings in the current age. Realizing the potential of working with clients on how to utilize creativity, personal empowerment strategies and a re-framed perspective on what “meaning” is in life, Maisel has built a reputation as a powerful speaker, deeply insightful and practical thinker, and a fierce believer in personal accountability and self-knowledge as keys to a more empowered, creative life. |Dr. Eric Maisel | ► Website |https://ericmaisel.com/ ► Books | https://ericmaisel.com/books/ - https://tinyurl.com/4fkuayh3 ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/ericmaisel/?hl=en ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100041393381174 ► YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EPL0NlADR0 | Show References | ► ExistentialismI https://iep.utm.edu/existent/ ► Albert Camus I https://www.britannica.com/biography/Albert-Camus ► Kirism I https://https://kirism.com/ | Star Family Wisdom Products | ►Free Stress Relief Meditations I https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/freemeditations ►Quantum Journeys I https://www.starfamilywisdom.com/journeysandactivations This page contains I ►Quantum Life Purpose Activation ► Quantum Destiny Journey ►Quantum Journey Tree of Wisdom |Related Star Family Wisdom Videos| ►Creativity & Spirituality w/ Jacob Nordby I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR3yLOXkxAw&t=13s ►Wholeness & Healing w/Tara McCallam I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MQwR5CMZns&t=40s ►Lives On & Off Earth w/Linda Backman I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bylEcm6Anfg | Star Family Wisdom | ► Website| http://www.starfamilywisdom.com ► Podcast| http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/podcast ► Disclaimer | http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/disclaimer ► Core Values | http://www.starfamilywisdom.com/about ►Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/starfamilywisdom ►Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/starfamilywisdompodcast_ ►Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/starfamilywisdom ►Youtube | http://www.tinyurl.com/starfamyoutube | Connect with Sinéad and Jenna | ►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/jenna_layden ►Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/swhelehan/ ============================================= About the Podcast: Star Family Wisdom is a paradigm shifting podcast, community and online school for your Spiritual and Cosmic evolution!

Hello beautiful people!Check out the To Be Human Book List | https://amzn.to/3KCdRaXOn today's podcast we have the wonderful Eric Maisel. Eric is a retired family therapist, now regarded as America's foremost creativity coach. He is a developer of a philosophy of life called Kirism and is the author of over 50 books, including ‘Lighting The Way', ‘Redesign Your Mind' and ‘Fearless Creating'. What I personally love about this conversation is our depth of exploration into meaning and purpose. I feel meaning and purpose are both experiences that are necessary for a fulfilling life, but are indeed experiences that we don't always feel in touch with. So it is in this conversation that I really get Eric to be specific about how we can become more informed and take action. We also explore creativity, and discuss some strategies that I can say personally are integrating as we speak into my own life on how to show up, deliver and maintain consistency in that. Please enjoy this conversation with the lovely Eric.CONNECT WITH JENNAH-LOUISEMindset Coaching | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseCONNECT WITH ERICWebsite | https://ericmaisel.com #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

|Episode Info| Jacob Nordby is the author of The Divine Arsonist - A Tale of Awakening, Blessed Are the Weird - A Manifesto for Creatives, and The Creative Cure: How Finding and Freeing Your Inner Artist Can Heal Your Life. He is also the co-founder of The Institute for Creative Living. After experiencing something of a spiritual awakening, Jacob chose to leave behind a lucrative company he had built himself, and a full life with all the trappings - to follow his dream of becoming a writer and a creative, and to inspire others to do the same. The central theme we discuss with Jacob in this episode, is the power and energy of creativity, in all and any forms. We'll talk about tapping into that, and how spiritual energy and creative energy elevate us; our innate ability to create in life; tapping into intuitive flow; our ability to create our reality.... And Jacob's personal story about transformation, change, and following one's heart.

Eric Maisel once said that ambition is vital, but dangerous—capable of driving people over the edge. That's especially true when you add greed to the equation, and a relentless desire for status. For some, what other people think of them is the only thing that matters. That tiny little inner voice that never felt good enough starts to drown out all the other voices, even the ones who say “I love you.” Nothing's more important than looking like you have more stuff than anybody else. Nothing matters more than having a seat at the table with the “right” sort of people. And if the “wrong” sort try and get in your way, well—things can get dangerous.Sources:The Palm Beach Murder by Marion Collinshttps://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna12009956https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1990-07-15-9002040058-story.htmlhttps://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1998-04-29-9804280344-story.htmlhttps://www.ajc.com/news/local/triggerman-socialite-sullivan-murder-released-from-prison/Pwc3DKaD8LzVfzYu5JiNVN/https://www.palmbeachpost.com/article/20150607/NEWS/812063065https://www.e-reading-lib.com/chapter-amp.php/147530/50/the-best-american-crime-writing-2005.htmlhttps://blackthen.com/lita-mcclinton-murdered-white-husband-attempt-reach-social-elite-status/Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfireFacebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.com
