37. Where Does Your Art Come From? Reclaiming the Story That Awoke Your Capital-A Artist

In this episode of The Voice of You, I’m sharing a story that shaped everything about who I am. As a human, a coach, a mom, and an artist.

I’m taking you back to a season in high school that cracked me open to life, grief, and what it means to use your voice for something bigger. Through loss, music, and the simple act of showing up with my whole heart, I discovered what I now call my Capital-A Artist. The part of me that makes art of life itself.

This episode is an invitation to look at your story:
-What moments, joyful or painful, woke something inside you?
-What chapters shaped your creative voice, even if you didn’t know it at the time?
-And how might reclaiming those parts of yourself help you create from a deeper, truer place today?

Key Takeaways: 

  • Your art carries the energy of what you’ve lived. It’s born from your lived experience, not separate from it.

  • The body often holds stories long after the mind believes they’re healed.

  • Revisiting old pain with compassion can unlock new creative life force and meaning.

  • You don’t need to be a professional artist to be an artist. Making art of your life is a way of being.

  • Reclaiming the moments that shaped you allows your voice and creative power to expand.

Join me as I explore how our most human experiences—grief, fear, awe, and love—often hold the key to our most creative expression.

Discover the voice driving your creativity and how to shift into one that feels more like you.
