I’m here with Whitney Freya, and we talk all about how to transcend fear and create a life you love through art. And this is largely her life’s work. She is an expert in inspired living and providing practical tools and practices that free your mind from limitations and scarcity to create more in your life that lights you up from the inside out.
She’s the author of three books along this topic of personal creativity, and she leads online courses that teach you personal painting practices that will dramatically expand your sense of possibility and overall wellness. And I talk a lot about the more knowledge-based cerebral side of health on this podcast, and I wanted to bring in somebody to talk about creativity and give some tangible tools to actually enhance this.
We talk about how she took up paragliding at age 46, her journey toward creativity that led her to her life work, and how she uses art to enhance creativity and to work through fear. She shares some specific tools for opening yourself to more creativity, how we can only operate from a place of fear or a place of love (not both at the same time) and how to learn to observe yourself and witness your emotions instead of staying in a place of reaction, and so much more. This is a deviation from our normal topic, but I think a really important one, and I hope you will enjoy.
