If you’re listening to this, chances are that creativity, and the desire to grow, has been calling you. Maybe you’re simply curious about how coaching and creative practices can transform your life. Maybe you’ve explored creativity before, drifted away, and are finding your way back. Or maybe you’re standing at the edge of change, ready to begin but unsure how. Wherever you are on your journey, you’re not alone. That’s one of the reasons I created Transformations Through Coaching and Creativity, a space to explore what it means to live, work, and express ourselves with authenticity, courage, and imagination. Together, we’ll look at how creative processes inspired by Julia Cameron's famous book, The Artist's Way, and coaching tools can help us reconnect with who we really are and who we’re becoming.

    S2E3. Build Creative Confidence Like a World-Class Performer

    ⚠️ Listener Note (Safety Disclaimer): Please make sure you are not driving, operating machinery, or doing any activity that requires your full attention while listening to the meditation at the end of this episode. Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax and fully immerse yourself in the experience. Blue Monday shows up every January but should we believe it? This episode takes a curious look at the Blue Monday formula shared on Wikipedia, a much-debated equation involving weather, debt, motivation, and time since Christmas. Rather than letting a formula define the day, I explore practical ways to build clarity and emotional resilience. With insights from Miss Americana, reflections on journaling and mindset, and a calming guided meditation inspired by The Source by Tara Swart, this episode invites you to design your day with intention not equations. Background music copyright info from Acast: XK6LL1ZNSWU3XL1Z, 9MCSXUQO1N3ZNS4F, TZPGRL6DAXB8GTFN The Blue Monday formula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_(date))   Where: W = Weather/Light exposureD-d = Debt minus ability to payT = Time since ChristmasQ = Failed quit attempts (New Year's resolutions)M = Motivational levelsNA = Need to take actionThe 2005 press release[10] and a 2009 press release:   where W = weather, D = debt, d = monthly salary, T = time since Christmas, Q = time since the failure of new year's resolutions, M = low motivational levels, and Na = the feeling of a need to take action. One relationship used by Arnall in 2006 was:[11]   where Tt = travel time; D = delays; C = time spent on cultural activities; R = time spent relaxing; ZZ = time spent sleeping; St = time spent in a state of stress; P = time spent packing; Pr = time spent in preparation.

  7. The Secret of “Thinking in Writing” and Why It Changes Everything

    The Secret of “Thinking in Writing” and Why It Changes Everything

    In this deeply reflective final episode of 2025, I had a chat with writer, teacher, and lifelong reader Nazli, whose creative life has been shaped by literature, teaching, healing, and sustained attention. The conversation touches on methodical reading, honest and compassionate criticism, the power of attention in a distracted age, and why writing isn’t about producing ideas but about making sense of ourselves. Nazli, the brains behind https://waysofblackink.wordpress.com/about/, also offers a thoughtful perspective on teaching, creativity as practice, and how small, consistent rituals can create space for meaning and joy. This episode is a rich invitation to slow down, pay attention, and reconnect with your creative self, just in time to welcome a new year. ✨ A fitting close to the podcast’s 2025 season, and a gentle opening toward what’s next.
