295. A Story of Letting Go In this episode of Creative Chats, Mike Brennan shares his journey of writing his new book 'Blue', a story about letting go and transformation. He discusses the emotional challenges he faced while writing, the importance of authenticity in creative work, and encourages listeners to create meaningful projects that resonate with their personal experiences. Top Three Key Takeaways Creativity as a Tool for Processing Pain and Growth Mike opens up about how his latest book was inspired by a difficult personal experience. He emphasizes that creativity can be a therapeutic outlet for processing pain, grief, and major life changes, sometimes, our most meaningful creations come from our most challenging seasons. The Importance of Authenticity in Creative Work While developing the visuals for his book, Mike struggled to find a style that felt true to himself. Through experimentation and self-reflection, he discovered that authentic self-expression resonates more deeply than following someone else's template, encouraging listeners to create with vulnerability and honesty. Releasing Your Work and Letting Go of Expectations Mike discusses the process of letting go, not just as a theme in his new book, but as a creative act itself. He describes the freedom in releasing a project to the world without being attached to outcomes, and how sharing our stories can become a source of hope and connection for others.

Life has a way of teaching us exactly what we need to learn. For Clarissa Castillo-Ramsey, PsyD, that lesson came in the form of spasmodic dysphonia - a condition that challenged her relationship with her voice just as she was building her coaching practice. But what could have been a setback became a catalyst for deeper transformation, leading her to discover the profound healing power of art and wellness practices.Today, Clarissa is an international best-selling author, award-winning Transformational Coach, and internationally collected abstract artist whose work touches lives across the globe. Through her top-rated podcast Painting Your Path™, she guides women in midlife and beyond to rediscover their authentic selves - helping them break free from imposter syndrome, release perfectionism, and reconnect with who they are before the world told them who to be.Drawing from her own journey of healing through art and personal development, Clarissa creates transformative experiences that blend creativity, wellness, and self-discovery.Her programs, including Painting Your Path to Self-Expression, From Cubicle to Creative Life, and The Courageous Leadership Summit, have empowered over 4,000 creatives and professionals to step into their full potential. Whether working with clients one-on-one, in intimate groups, or through immersive retreats, she brings her unique blend of tough love and unwavering belief in possibilities to every interaction.While her expertise has been featured in VoyageLA, Bold Journey, Medium, and top-rated podcasts like The Art and Soul Show and Thrive Radio, Clarissa's greatest joy comes from witnessing the moment when someone realizes they can paint their own path forward - just as she did when she discovered that every challenge, even losing her voice, can lead to a beautiful new canvas.Find more from Clarissa here: https://linktr.ee/ClarissaCastilloRamseyGet your Jumpstart Journal here: http://subscribepage.io/YCauoKWork with me: www.karaleighgarrison.com/coaching

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, I talk with designer, writer, and thinker Ben Rennie, author of a new book that explores the transformative power of curiosity and creativity. Together, we unpack the dynamic relationship between curiosity, creativity, and confidence, and how this path can guide us to overcome fear and step more fully into our potential. Ben shares his personal story—sparked by a promise to his late mother—that led him to examine how people find themselves in powerful, unexpected places.We explore the idea that creativity isn't limited to the arts but is instead the ability to see things differently, solve problems, and bring ideas to life. Through vivid stories and practical wisdom, Ben and I explore how curiosity is the antidote to fear, how creativity naturally flows from curiosity, and how confidence is built by simply beginning—and continuing—to create.From imposter syndrome at a Dolce & Gabbana event to finding inspiration in nature, this conversation is a powerful invitation to get curious, stay creative, and be kind to yourself in the process.Topics Covered:How curiosity dissolves fearWhy creativity is about seeing possibilities, not just making artReframing repetition: why doing what's been done before is still meaningfulHow creative confidence is earned through actionThe role of environment and nature in creative flow Navigating imposter syndromeand Honouring your pathResources & Mentions: Ben Rennie's new book Ben's “Wednesdays” blog on Medium Brene Brown Steve Jobs: “You can't connect the dots looking forward…” Meredith Hite-Estevez: “Join a song already singing” Rick Rubin: on creativity and remixing existing ideasTakeaways / Call to Action:Follow your curiosity—it's the best antidote to fear Just start, even if it's been done before—your voice mattersPractice regularly and create space for your creativityCapture your ideas on the goBe gentle with yourselfSpend time in nature to reset and reconnect

This episode is a replay of a previous episode of Dance Dad with John Corella. Enjoy! Happy Pride! “I loved how free I was,” reflects Ally Marc Jacobs, a transgender teen and emerging star in the worlds of voguing and drag. Inspired by the House of Juicy Couture's performances and the House of Balmain on the HBO series “Legendary”, Ally began vogue dancing and quickly became a sensation across social media. She is now a member of both the House of Juicy Couture and House of Marc Jacobs. Today on the Dance Dad podcast, Ally shares insights into the ball culture, her personal journey of coming out, and how both her mainstream and kiki house communities have become like a second family to her. Ally's biological family, including her mother Amy, who also joins the podcast, has supported her from the start. Amy discusses the pressures facing Ally as a prominent figure in the trans community, and the scrutiny she faces as a parent. Ally addresses her experiences with bullies in various settings, from playgrounds to churches and even political arenas, and how she has found a supportive community. Host John Corella highlights the hypocrisy of parents who criticize Amy for 'forcing a lifestyle' on Ally, while they themselves push their children into unwanted activities. Ally, confident in her identity from a young age, and perhaps even in past lives, is forging ahead fearlessly. Tune in to hear her discuss her love for Beyoncé, Monster High dolls, and her very own dance dad.

Everyone's talking about Aubrey Marcus right now... Calling him a narcissist, a fraud, and tearing him down for contradicting himself publicly. But I'm here to say something different.In this episode, I share my honest take on why I finally feel like Aubrey is being real, and why his messy, vulnerable, and public contradictions might actually be a reflection of something deeper: the energetic shift from Pluto in Capricorn to Pluto in Aquarius.This isn't just about one man's choices. It's about the end of authority as performance, the collapse of pedestals, and the rise of raw, unfiltered authenticity. I talk about spiritual leadership, the pressure to have it all together, and how being seen in your evolution, mess and all, is where true power lives now.I also share a personal story about the transgender movement, the dangers of performative allyship, and the difference between bandwagon activism and real, embodied support. It's all connected to this new Aquarian energy of nuance, contradiction, and radical self-expression.If you're ready to throw away the script, question what it really means to lead, and embrace your most liberated self, you'll want to hear this.✨ Mentioned:The Pluto in Aquarius revolutionCancel culture & messy healingTransitions in authority, leadership & spiritual powerMy Higher Self Healing Codes course for navigating your chart & emotions with ChatGPT

In this episode, I help leadership coach and podcaster Julie Neale work through the discomfort she feels on stage.Though she's right at home behind the microphone, being on stage stirs up something different. Julie may look confident, but inside, she's anxious — silently struggling.Together, we trace her nerves back to early experiences that shaped her identity, including a pivotal moment when her father, with the best intentions, publicly praised her in a way that became a role she felt expected to play — even at the expense of her own truth.We also talk about how to feel more grounded, expand your stage presence, and create a sense of belonging in front of an audience.If you've ever felt unseen, misrepresented, or not fully yourself in the spotlight, this conversation will speak to you.Click here to check the full show notes.

She then went on to manage digital marketing for the largest division of a $100M fintech firm, where she built the company's social media strategy from the group up– growing it from zero conversions to averaging 250 conversions per week in just 7 months. Her remarkable success was noticed by high level executives where she was then invited to present her strategy and data to the executive board.

Send us a textWhen I stop and look at the state of gender - I, and all that identify as women - have LOTS to get mad about. Inequality in general, inability to drive a car in some countries, inability to own or inherit land in others, the paycheck gap in the US, being invisible when it comes to drug trials and the user experience in general up until recently (which is why airplane seats hurt our necks) etc, etc.But, today is not about gender - it is a journey into the intersection between divine feminine and divine masculine. It involves undoing old programming, parenting, teachings, that left no space for the two sets of being, not to mention the place where they intersect, collide, comingle. Let's get into it.Divine Fem and Divine Masc 101Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine were explained to me this way and I hope it resonates with you as well.Think of the Divine Feminine as the waters of a grand river; flowing; life-giving; dynamic; creating its own motion and course. Now think of the Divine Masculine as the riverbank; the steep sides and bottom that give the river structure, dimension, directing the flow, it holds in this precious resource, protecting the vibrant waters. Yin and yang symbols embody dualism - and that includes the divine feminine and divine masculine. Think of that black and white symbol for a second. The black swoop has a dash of white in its center, and the white swoop contains a bit of black. Together they bring balance, harmony, respect. They are sound, together a perfect whole.
