Episode Details

Our guest for this week is Molly Cofman, a 500-hour certified yoga instructor, acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, avid world traveler, and healer.

About Molly

Molly was always drawn to being a healer and her formal education can attest to that. She holds a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine as well as a Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Aside from that. she also has a master of Fine Arts in Theater Arts and Dance from the University of Arizona.

For a time, she was also a part of the renowned Human Genome Project, which is still the world’s largest collaborative biological project to date. 

Still, her journey took her away from the traditional medical approach as she discovered it didn’t align with her core values. Molly wanted to make a more personal and direct impact on people’s lives which is why she turned to dance and music - practices she has used as a form of personal therapy her entire life. For her, it was a way of “tapping into the wisdom beyond words.”

Under her personal brand Inspiration Heals, Molly uses resources and knowledge from numerous disciplines and practices in order to provide a unique and effective healing approach. She uses the power of travel to provide people with an opportunity to explore different cultures as well as themselves, all the while teaching on mindfulness practices that help guide the entire experience. Molly is currently based in Tuscany, Italy from where she teaches yoga and eastern healing practices.

She hosts retreats throughout the year and the next one will be held in South America, in the Patagonia region during March 2020. Another one, in Nepal, is scheduled for November of next year.

• The Foundation Of Creativity

Molly’s teachings have a lot to do with facilitating creativity and looking at the notion in a more comprehensive light. Most people that consider themselves uncreative do so because they lose sight of what it actually means to be creative. They focus on the grandiose expressions of creativity which clouds their judgment and makes them believe the lie that they are incapable of creative thought and action, which is never the case.

“For me, I think that the foundation of creativity, and I think that’s something that I’m really striving to facilitate for people, is just the simplicity of perspective. Of seeing life from different perspectives.” - Molly Cofman

• The Connection Between Creativity and Openness

Continuing our conversation on the path of exploring creativity, Molly shares another gem of the role of openness and how it affects our ability to be creative. If creativity is about variation and different perspectives we need to open ourselves up further in order to truly grasp and wield its power.
