  • In this episode of Soul-Led Creative Women, Iโ€™m joined by the inspiring Elizabeth Makepeace, a healer, alchemist, and creator of the Ascendance Code.

    Elizabeth shares her profound spiritual journey and the powerful lessons learned through two major health challengesโ€”a 15 cm fibroid and a 4.5 cm brain tumour. She navigated these experiences with grace, turning them into catalysts for transformation and spiritual awakening.

    Elizabeth discusses how we can honour our creative essence by tapping into our higher selves, embracing both the colourful and the challenging aspects of life. Her philosophy is rooted in the idea that our life's journey is like a paintingโ€”one we get to choose whether to experience in black and white or vibrant colour.

    What We Discuss:
    ๐Ÿ’— Alchemy of the Soul: How Elizabeth combines 25 years of healing experience with the secrets of alchemy to help others align energetically and connect with their higher self.

    ๐Ÿ’— Transforming Pain into Power: Discover how challenges like health crises can become opportunities for deep healing and spiritual growth.

    ๐Ÿ’— Living Your Brilliance: Insights into how creativity and spirituality intersect, empowering you to live your most authentic and expansive life.

    ๐Ÿ’— The Role of Relationships: Exploring how our interactions with others serve as mirrors, reflecting who we are and offering chances for self-discovery and personal evolution.

    Key Takeaways:
    ๐Ÿ’ซ Embrace the Rollercoaster of Life: Life's highs and lows are opportunities to experience our highest potential and expand beyond our limits.

    ๐Ÿ’ซ You Are the Artist of Your Life: Every choice you make is a brushstroke on the canvas of your existenceโ€”whether it's colourful or monochrome is up to you.

    ๐Ÿ’ซ Spiritual Awakening Through Challenge: The darkest moments can illuminate the brightest paths when we choose to see them as catalysts for transformation.

    ๐Ÿ’ซ Alchemy and Self-Mastery: Elizabeth explains how we can transform limiting beliefs and inherited patterns into gold by connecting with our higher selves.

    Guest Info:
    If you're curious about energy/magic then you need to meet Elizabeth Elenor. Elizabeth has had 2 major life threatening health experiences. One a 15cm fibroid that she released by herself. The other a 4.5cm brain tumour that she had surgically removed and had many magical experiences through the process. Discovering the secrets of alchemy, she merged this knowledge with 25 years of being a healer to create The Ascendance Code and energetically align with her Higher Self Wisdom.

  • Welcome to Soul-Led Creative Women! In this episode, Sam Horton speaks with Bona Normandeau, happiness coach, speaker, and host of The Happier You podcast. Bona shares her mission of helping individuals discover their own path to happiness by guiding them to find more joy and resilience in life. With a background in military service and entrepreneurship, Bona experienced her own awakening when she struggled to answer the question, โ€œWhat is the dream in your heart?โ€ This moment became the catalyst for her happiness journey.

    Highlights from the Episode:
    ๐Ÿ’— The Foundation of Happiness: Bona discusses her approach to teaching happiness, emphasizing that itโ€™s something that can be learned and cultivated in a framework of โ€œtools, practice, and leveling up.โ€

    ๐Ÿ’— Personalized Happiness Formula: Bona talks about helping individuals discover what truly brings them joy by connecting with themselves and experimenting with small, actionable steps. Creativity and Play: Bona shares how reading Brenรฉ Brownโ€™s The Gifts of Imperfection opened her eyes to the importance of creativity and play in cultivating joy. She describes her experience of trying new creative activities, even when they feel uncomfortable, as a way to build resilience and enjoy the process.

    ๐Ÿ’— Self-Care Essentials: Bona emphasizes the importance of gratitude, celebrating small wins, and incorporating โ€œrecharge activitiesโ€โ€”from spontaneous dance breaks to nature walksโ€”to keep happiness accessible in daily life.

    ๐Ÿ’— Letting Go for Happiness: She explains that while happiness can grow by adding joyful activities, itโ€™s also about naturally letting go of things that no longer serve us. The Power of Vulnerability: Bona reflects on the vulnerability of sharing her personal journey through her podcast and how building a supportive community has been key to staying courageous in her path.

    ๐Ÿ’— Building Resilience and Confidence: For Bona, creativity is not just about making art; it's a powerful tool for navigating lifeโ€™s ups and downs, helping her and others build resilience and self-acceptance.

    Powerful Questions for Listeners:

    ๐Ÿ’— What is one small action I can take today that will bring me joy?

  • In this episode, host Sam Horton sits down with Mara Marchesi, also known as The Intuition Queen, to explore the powerful connection between intuition and creativity. Mara is an intuitive and creative coach, healer, and psychic, who helps entrepreneurs and creative souls discover their inner power and self-worth.

    Key Highlights:

    The Power of Intuition & Creativity: Mara emphasizes that everyone has the potential to tap into their intuition and creativity, even if they haven't yet discovered it. She shares how these two aspects go hand-in-hand and how, once unlocked, they can dramatically transform your life.

    Mara's Personal Journey: Mara talks about how she discovered her strong intuition and the pivotal moment when a friend helped her realize that her intuition was more powerful than most. She explains how she embraced the title of โ€œThe Intuition Queenโ€ and what it means for her to guide others on their intuitive journeys.

    The Importance of Trusting Yourself: Mara discusses how society conditions women, in particular, to distrust their inner voice and intuition. She encourages listeners to reclaim their power by learning to trust themselves and make decisions based on their own inner guidance, rather than seeking external validation.

    The Courage to Be Yourself: A central theme in Maraโ€™s work is helping women find the courage to truly be themselves. She offers insights into the fear of judgment and loneliness that often comes when setting boundaries and following your own path, and how to overcome these barriers.

    Creativity as a Healing Tool: Mara highlights how creativity, in any form, is essential for personal growth. Whether through art, music, or daily tasks like cooking, creativity can unlock joy and connection to your intuition. She also shares how color therapy and energy work play a role in her coaching practice.

    Tapping Into Your Intuition: Sam and Mara discuss the importance of listening to your body and emotions, particularly fear and discomfort, as they can offer valuable insights into what needs healing and attention.

    Key Takeaways:
    ๐Ÿ’— Everyone is intuitive and creative; it's just a matter of tapping into these inner gifts.

    ๐Ÿ’—Learning to trust yourself can lead to living a more aligned, authentic life.

    ๐Ÿ’—Creativity is not just about making artโ€”itโ€™s a way of life that helps connect you to your soul.

    ๐Ÿ’—It takes courage to live authentically, but the rewards are profound, including greater personal freedom and abundance.
