Is there an area of your creativity that feels draining, stuck, or even overwhelming right now even though you deeply love it? Maybe you started with passion and excitement, but lately, it's felt exhausting. You might even be questioning whether itâs worth continuing at all.
If so, youâre not alone. In this solo episode, I share the pivotal moment when I almost quit this very podcastâŚand the shifts I made that saved it (and me).

From this episode, youâll learn:
-How to recognize when burnout is really a process problem, not a purpose problem

Have you ever felt disconnected from your bodyâor grieved the version of it you used to know? I have. And in this episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, Iâm talking with disability advocate and author Jayne Mattingly about something we donât hear enough about: body grief, and how it can quietly block our creativity and self-love.
Hereâs what Iâve come to realize: when we lose trust in our bodies, we often lose connection to ourselves and therefore our creative voice. But when we start rebuilding that trustâeven slowlyâwe open the door to healing, peace, and creative freedom.
Jayne created a powerful framework to help us understand and move through body grief, and in this episode, she shares her story, how it applies to you, and how getting into a relationship with your body can shift everythingâfrom how you heal to how you create.
From this episode, youâll learn:
-What body grief is and how to recognize it in your own life
-The 7 stages of body grief and how to move through them-How to begin rebuilding trust with your bodyâat any stage
-Why healing your relationship with your body can unlock your creativityTW: Eating Disorders and Mental Health

What if healing after trauma wasnât just about survivalâbut about creativity, reclamation, and transformation? Todayâs guest, Marlee Liss, is living proof that healing can look radically different than what weâve been taught. After experiencing sexual violence, she was thrown into the justice system and quickly realized something: the traditional punitive approach wasnât leading to healingâit was retraumatizing. So, she did something groundbreaking.
Marlee became the first person in North America to advocate for and successfully secure a court-ordered restorative justice process, requiring her assailant to undergo mandated therapy instead of incarceration. Through this process, she proved that true justice isnât always about punishmentâit can be about deep, lasting accountability, healing, and even transformation.
This is the second episode in my series on using creativity to change the worldâbecause creativity isnât just for art. Itâs for how we think, how we heal, and how we rebuild broken systems.
⨠From this conversation, youâll learn:
The radical question that changed everything for Marleeâand how it can change your life, too
Why the justice system often fails survivorsâand what a real, healing alternative looks like
How creativity can be used to solve even the worldâs toughest problems
The surprising key to true healing: reclaiming joy, pleasure, and personal freedom
