| 🧘♀️Body Neutrality: Heal Your Relationship with Your Body This Holiday Season w/ Body Image Coach, Jessi Kneeland | 27 nov. 2025 | 01:05:39 | |
Hi Creative Cutie! The holidays...They're often a time that can trigger old wounds of all sorts. Definitely not the least of which, are wounds around our bodies and body image. I wanted to reshare this episode with you to help you gain some awareness and tools to heal your relationship to your body and gain Body Neutrality. More info below. I love you and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate! Original Description: TW: Eating Disorders and Body image. Today’s guest is Jessi Kneeland. They are a queer and non-binary writer, speaker, podcaster and body image coach. Jessi started off as a physical trainer-- working with everyone from celebrities to supermodels and they found something interesting -no matter the body type, their clients always thought their bodies were not enough. This led Jessi to dig into their own body image, traumas and past to finally discover what helped them start their healing journey, which is something they call, Body Neutrality. As someone who has long suffered with a bevy of body image issues including eating disorders, disordered eating and just generally never feeling Like I have the “right” body…I can honestly say I find Jessi's work revolutionary and healing in such a deep way, it’s hard to really put into words. Between their book Body Neutral, which comes out this June (and I highly recommend you pre-order now) and this conversation, I feel like I’m finally on a path to do some deep healing and rewiring in this area. I hope this chat will do the same for you. From today’s chat, you’ll learn:

| How to Get Younger with Age: Lessons on Self-Acceptance & Surviving Your 20s | 20 nov. 2025 | 00:14:50 | |
What if getting older could actually make you feel younger and more free? In this solo episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, I share the audio version of my recent Substack essay about why I feel more youthful at 36 than I ever did at 22. The secret is self-acceptance. I talk about the pressure I felt in my early twenties, the urgency that aged me from the inside out, and the healing that helped me finally feel light, calm, and creative again. Youth is not the absence of age. It is the presence of self love. When we stop tying our worth to our achievements and start trusting ourselves, everything opens up. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt behind, struggled with self worth, or been hard on their younger self. You will learn:
If you are ready to feel more confident, peaceful, and creatively free, this episode will help you get younger from the inside out.

| 🖋️🕊️Creative Grief, Identity Shifts & the Return of My Inner Artist | 02 juil. 2025 | 00:35:04 | |
Hi Creative Cutie.!This week I’m sharing something really personal with you. I recorded this episode right from my bed, no video, no script, just me and my heart.

From this episode, you’ll learn: -What “creative grief” really looks like (and why we need to talk about it more) I also read you a personal journal entry I wrote as a love letter to my artist self, and maybe it’ll speak to yours, too.

In this special re-release, I’m sharing one of my absolute favorite conversations from the early days of Unleash Your Inner Creative…an episode so dear to me, it feels like a time capsule. You’ll even hear how my voice has changed, because I recorded this over six years ago, basically as a creative fetus. LOLz. This powerful episode features the incredible visual artist, podcaster, and creative entrepreneur, Amanda Oleander. If you’re not familiar with her work yet, prepare to fall in love. Amanda’s story is a shining example of what’s possible when you take a leap of faith on your creative calling—especially when life pushes you before you feel fully ready. From raw talent to becoming the most-followed woman on Periscope, Amanda’s rise is about so much more than art—it's about courage, self-belief, and embracing discomfort to create the life you’re meant for. This episode made me emotional (I think it’s the first time I ever cried on the pod!) and helped me reconnect with my own creative power. I know it will do the same for you. 💗 From this episode, you’ll learn: -What happens when you’re forced to leap—and rise to the occasion 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me: Remember to subscribe/follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Original Description: Today I’m taking you inside a coaching session with Caroline Stokes. Caroline is a comedian, dancer, visual artist, musician, and self-expression expert who has who has been lighting up the internet with her hilarious content for years now…Building an organic audience of 111k followers on TikTok and almost 20 thousand people on Instagram. This is actually Caroline’s third time being on Unleash! I was quite honored that she, someone who I see as a fully unleashed person, wanted to be coached. It’s a reminder that everyone needs someone to see, guide and believe in them--that often times, that’s how they got there in the first place, and that’s how they continue to grow. This coaching session helped Caroline figure out a part of her creativity she didn’t even know she desired so deeply. It also was illuminating for me, as I discovered a whole new way to guide fellow multi-passionates (and honestly, myself) on how to allocate our time and creative energy. It was honestly pretty revolutionary. From today's episode, you'll learn:

Have you ever felt disconnected from your body—or grieved the version of it you used to know? I have.

But when we start rebuilding that trust—even slowly—we 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 everything—from how you heal to how you create.

| ❤️🩹🗣️Healing After Trauma: The Creative Path No One Talks About | Marlee Liss | 12 mars 2025 | 01:04:28 | |
What if healing after trauma wasn’t just about survival—but about creativity, reclamation, and transformation? Today’s guest, Marlee Liss, is living proof that healing can look radically different than what we’ve been taught. After experiencing sexual violence, she was thrown into the justice system and quickly realized something: the traditional punitive approach wasn’t leading to healing—it 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 isn’t always about punishment—it can be about deep, lasting accountability, healing, and even transformation. This is the second episode in my series on using creativity to change the world—because creativity isn’t just for art. It’s for how we think, how we heal, and how we rebuild broken systems. ✨ From this conversation, you’ll learn:
