In this episode of Creative Hearts, I’m talking with Louis Allan, the founder of Exploring Fear (@move_with_louis, exploringfear.com), about how fear and creativity are deeply connected in the journey of personal growth.
Louis shares his story of transforming his passion for movement and fear navigation into a purpose-driven business. We dive into what happens when you face rejection, welcome uncertainty, and give yourself permission to play. We also talk about the importance of support, the power of stillness, and what it truly means to enjoy the creative process.
If you’re curious about unlocking creativity through courage and exploration, this conversation will feel inspiring and energising.
In this episode of Creative Hearts, I’m talking with Ioana, the artist behind Artizine UK (@artizineuk), about her creative journey and what it really means to become an artist. We dive into how she moved from a corporate life into embracing her true creative self, the challenges she faced, and how vulnerability played a huge role in her growth.
We also chat about the role of community art, zines, and somatic work in her process—and why reconnecting with your inner child can unlock new creative energy. This conversation is all about exploring the creative path, making art for yourself, and finding meaning in the process.
If you’re curious about how creativity can evolve and grow, I think you’ll find this chat really meaningful.
In this episode, we’re joined by Liv (@livsliving1) — a certified self-love and mindset coach, and the voice behind Liv’s Living Podcast. Liv creates sacred spaces for the feminine within to finally be heard through 1:1 coaching, goddess gatherings, and retreats.
Together, we dive into a deeply honest conversation about creativity, feminine energy, and what it really means to grow into your most authentic self. We explore how so often we create from a place of wounded masculine energy—pushing, proving, and striving—and what happens when we start to lead with softness, presence, and trust.
This episode is for anyone navigating their own personal growth, craving more ease and flow in their creativity, or learning to listen to themselves more deeply.
🌱 What we talk about:
Why slowing down can unlock deeper creativity
The power of vulnerability in the healing journey
Balancing doing and being in work and life
Reclaiming your voice and creating from wholeness

In this solo episode, I’m sharing a bit of my own story—what it’s been like to find my way back to creativity in my mid to late 20s. I talk about the things that have helped along the way, like The Artist’s Way, morning pages, and learning to balance the softer and stronger parts of myself. I also reflect on how culture, upbringing, and ideas of “success” can shape the way we see creativity—sometimes keeping us from it entirely. This episode is really about remembering that creativity isn’t reserved for a chosen few—it’s something we all have access to. It can be healing, grounding, playful, and even powerful. And it gets to look different for everyone.
