Today I am joined by Ally Markotich, an artist and author, to discuss the transformative power of creative practice and how it connects us to our inner wisdom and the divine. Supporting you to honour your creative impulses and find joy in everyday life.

We explore how creativity can help overcome perfectionism and routine by fostering a deeper connection to the feminine and a more playful approach to life. Allie shares her journey of rediscovering her artistic side and the significant impact it has had on her family and personal growth.

An absolute joy to bring this incredible episode to you to support you on your journey to living authentically you.
