Lila: Recent Episodes
Kristin & Bria
To be creative is every human being's birthright. And if being truly alive requires us to be creative, how do we unlock and sustain such a raw version of ourselves? Whether your creativity translates through fine art or a non-stereotypical medium, it is your unique gift, and the world needs it. YOU need it. Exercising our unique expression connects us to our Divine Creator. Yet sadly, our creative urges often get lost in the roller coaster that is everyday life. Modern psych studies consistently prove that the more in-tuned we are with play + creativity, the more fulfilled we are. Here with your hosts Kristin and Bria, we unpack this truth as we explore the vital intersections of spirituality, mental health, and the creative process. Together, we'll unlearn "busy mentality" and unleash a play-filled life instead.Episodes every other Tuesday!
Do you oscillate between feeling proud of your multiple talents and overwhelmed by them all? Sometimes having several skillsets can make us feel scattered and "all over the place" compared to creatives with a distinct area of expertise. But navigating life as a multi-passionate, "jack-of-all-trades" artist can manifest differently depending on how intentional we are with our gifts. Let's explore how we can leverage our multifacetedness and harness it into our greatest superpower.

In the last two episodes, we covered the three modes of the creative process: inspiration, ideation, and implementation. But how can we start viewing creativity as a life practice instead of marginalizing it to a "creative process?" This episode will explore how to create from a place of creative health and avoid snares like burnout, procrastination, and stagnancy that artists so often face.

What is the creative process...really? Each of our creative processes is unique to us. But learning about the different modes of creating can help us understand our own process much more clearly. Join us for Part 2 as we finish exploring the four modes of creativity and how to navigate the challenges and benefits of each mode with intentionality and practical wellness tips. The more we understand our own process, the more effectively we can harness our ideas into a finished product.

This episode is inspired by Howard Thurman's famous quote, “Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive”. Do you always feel like you lack the time, money, or resources to be the artist you're called to be? Are your creative urges overwhelmed by the practicalities of everyday life? Then this episode is for you. When we live from abundance instead of survival mode, we can create from total freedom!

Staying grounded in the meaningfulness of our art requires us to be aware of our own unique "why." Why do you create the things you create? Why do certain works of art give you chills while others leave you feeling...blah? How do our inhibitions sometimes hinder us from connecting to the work we feel so strongly called to create? And how do our personality traits show up in our art? Join us in this interactive episode where we ask ourselves the necessary questions to arrive at our deeper why.

As children, creativity was simply a way to play and express ourselves— not something to make us feel validated or relevant. So why do artists often experience this? Join us as we explore the environmental influences that led us to imposter syndrome, hyper-competitiveness, and burnout. We'll unlearn these thought patterns together.

If we are all made in the image of God, how does this impact the way we create? How do we overcome ego and separate our identities from our art? And how does creating art activate faith? Also, what does it really mean to “glorify God with our art”? These are a few of the questions we’ll be unpacking in our kick-off episode! Tune in as we explore how creativity looks when we’re aware that we are divinely loved.
