Recovering a Sense of Strength: Embodied Companion to The Artist’s Way Part 8
Description
In Episode 8 of this 12 part minisode devotional, embodied companion to The Artist’s Way, I explore what it means to recover a sense of strength and reconnect with strength as something sustainable, supported, and deeply embodied.
In this episode, I reflect on how my understanding of strength has evolved from endurance and over functioning into a more grounded, relational, and nervous system centered experience of strength.
I share how motherhood and caregiving shaped my early ideas of strength, and how creative practice, breathwork, and healing work helped me redefine strength as consistency, presence, and self trust.
I also share about home birthing both of my boys and how those experiences taught me that true strength often lives in surrender. Surrender to the body. Surrender to support. Surrender to the intelligence of the moment. Those experiences reshaped how I understand creative strength, emotional resilience, and the courage to stay present during transformation.
In alignment with this chapter, I explore how strength can grow through creative devotion, boundaries, community, and allowing vulnerability and resilience to coexist.
This episode includes a guided Tri Active breathwork experience designed to help you feel strength in your body, release pressure to over perform, and reconnect with support and internal stability.
You are invited to move through this series sequentially, whether daily or weekly, and to consider choosing an inspiration partner or creative companion to witness your unfolding alongside you.
If this work is resonating and you feel drawn to go deeper, I offer a private 12 session breathwork journey inspired by the chapters of The Artist’s Way. This is a space to be fully held as you embody these themes and expand your creative life.
I am also hosting The Authentic Creative: Breathwork and Reiki by the Sea, a women’s retreat taking place May 3-6 on the Oregon Coast. There are a few spots remaining. If you feel curious, you are welcome to email me and we can explore together whether it is the right fit.
Thank you for being here. I am so glad you are walking this devotional path with me.
