If purpose has started to feel like a heavy question you need to answer before you can move forward, this carousel is for you. It offers a different way of seeing purpose, not as something to find, but something you are already living when you're present to what's here. If you've been stuck waiting for clarity, this might help you breathe a little easier and take your next step from a place of trust rather than pressure.

We've been taught that purpose is something we have to find before we can fully live, work, or create. But what if that belief is actually the thing keeping us stuck?This session offers a different view.It explores how purpose isn't a fixed destination or identity. It's not something you earn or chase. It's something that reveals itself moment by moment, when you're present to what's real and honest right now.If you've felt pressure to figure it all out before moving forward, this is for you.You don't need to find your purpose to live it. You're already living it. One moment at a time. Get full access to From Surviving to Thriving at claredownham.substack.com/subscribe

There was a time when everything felt personal, every comment, every silence, every mistake. I felt like I had to be “on” all the time. But when I started to see that I didn't need to take every thought or feeling so seriously, everything softened.

In this video, I'll explore how high-achievers fall into the trap of self-evaluation and what becomes available when we gently shift our attention away from ourselves and back into life.

Episode 148: Recipes That Heal—Creativity, Courage, & Community Care with Elisa Pérez-Arellano, LMSW What does it take to turn pain into purpose—and how can creativity, food, and cultural traditions transform how we approach mental health? In this episode of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Elisa Pérez-Arellano, LMSW—founder of Inclusive Empowerment Services and the visionary behind Recetas que Sanan (Recipes That Heal), a wellness initiative that reduces stigma and improves access to healing resources. Elisa's story is one of incredible resilience, innovation, and heart. From her lived experiences as an immigrant and survivor of teen dating violence to creating a therapeutic cooking show with her husband, she's inspiring new ways to connect, heal, and build community through authenticity and cultural wisdom. Here's what we cover in this deep, powerful, and inspiring conversation: ✨ Elisa's journey immigrating from Mexico to the U.S. at age 16✨ The trauma and resilience that shaped her as a therapist✨ Why she left traditional systems to build her own bilingual practice✨ The creation of Recetas que Sanan—a cooking show that opens mental health conversations through food✨ How creative expression, storytelling, and joy support healing✨ Why therapists need their own therapy (and how healing enables deeper impact)✨ The importance of speaking out about collective pain and the current political climate A Therapist, Creator, & Courageous Leader After years of working in traditional clinical settings and feeling deeply unfulfilled, Elisa decided to start her own private practice in 2020—right as the pandemic hit. With clarity about her gifts and a drive to create meaningful, culturally responsive care, she launched Inclusive Empowerment Services, LLC. But Elisa's work goes far beyond therapy sessions. As a bilingual public speaker, trainer, and educator, she's passionate about bringing stories, lived experience, and emotional wisdom into schools, businesses, and community organizations. “I knew I had gifts I wasn't using—and I had to do something about it.” Recetas Que Sanan: Recipes That Heal What happens when you combine traditional cooking, storytelling, and emotional education? You get something completely magical—and that's exactly what Elisa created with Recetas que Sanan. This bilingual wellness initiative uses food as a gateway into deeper conversations about mental health and emotional well-being—particularly in Latinx and Spanish-speaking communities where stigma remains high. Cooking intuitively and sharing her personal stories while preparing traditional meals, Elisa helps viewers feel seen, nourished, and safe to explore emotions in a way that feels natural and culturally resonant. “Cooking is my magic. It's where my feelings live—and where connection begins.” From Surviving to Leading with Love Elisa generously shares about her early years in the U.S.—navigating family reunification, language barriers, and role reversal as a teen helping her parents navigate systems. She also opens up about surviving teen dating violence, and how that lived experience fuels her trainings and outreach today. Her commitment to authenticity is woven throughout her work. Whether she's leading a community workshop or filming an episode of Recetas que Sanan, she brings her full, human self—breaking the mold of what a therapist “should” be. “I'm cool. I'm human. I show up as myself—and I want others to feel safe doing the same.” Want to Sponsor Recetas que Sanan? Elisa is currently seeking sponsors to grow her bilingual show and expand access to culturally-grounded mental health conversations. Your support helps cover kitchen rental, ingredients, and tech equipment.

The other day, I got lost on the way to my hair appointment—not because I didn't know the way, but because I listened to the wrong voice in my head. My inner critic told me to take the "longer" route, even though my inner knowing had already given me the right answer. The result? I was late.This is exactly what happens in life, too. Your inner critic is predictable—it always shows up just as your inner knowing does. It plants doubt, makes you second-guess yourself, and keeps you stuck in overthinking.In this session, I'll show you how to recognise the BS patterns of your inner critic so you can stop letting it derail your decisions. Where has this happened to you? Let's explore together.
