in this episode, i talk about how friendship, travel, and intuition shape a creative life. fatima and i trace the story of how we met online and ended up adventuring across the world togetherâfrom mexico to bali and beyond. we explore travel as an inner activation, creativity as something we are (not just do), using the four elements to move through creative blocks, and the practice of stillness to hear your intuition. we also share tender moments about faith deconstruction, building a life from courage (not certainty), and how nature brings us back to ourselves.
the origin story: instagram friends to bffsfive countries later and still chatting daily
booking the one-way: heartbreak, surrender, and following the nudge to mexico
travel as activation: how different lands awaken different archetypes (wild woman, lover, adventurer)
scrappy world travel: house/pet-sitting, hostels, and creative ways to make it happen
creativity as a way of being (not a task) and why trust is the real gift of the journey
digital overstimulation â re-connection: why many of us are craving slowness, presence, and people
building golden intuitive: fatimaâs home for heart-led creatives, leaders, and visionaries
