This episode is your invitation to explore how creativity is not separate from life, it emerges when we feel calm, present, and aligned. I’m joined by MEgan Mosley founder of BodyWise Consulting and Coaching and creator of The Art and Science of Being Me.
She defines creativity as a natural expression of a nervous system that feels safe, connected, and grounded. MEgan shares how her work integrates physical therapy, somatic psychology, trauma release, and plant medicine to help people embody their truth and live in alignment.
MEgan walks you through a powerful Authentic Alignment micro practice that brings you into your body and opens space for intuition, clarity, and creative flow. I’ve used this practice regularly since we recorded, it’s become a reset button in my day. I am curious, if you try it too!
We also chat about the messy middle of showing up creatively: How saying “fine” can mask people‑pleasing, how everyday acts (like folding towels or making dinner) can become creative expression, and how nervous system health: Sleep, nature, movement, tremoring, can serve as creative vitamins.
