Shereen Sun (they/she) is an artist, author, and acclaimed mentor who specializes in creativity and self-actualization. They have spent their life living on the margins, inviting the creative spirits of others to come out and play. Shereen teaches people how to express themselves with confidence and authenticity, and they help people live their Creative Missions by guiding them to build thriving platforms that are as impactful as they are unique.
As an art educator since they were 18 years old, Shereen's love for creativity and desire to help the most marginalized youth led them to earn a master’s in urban education with advanced specializations in the visual arts. Their passion for awakening the creative spirit of others (or what they like to call remembering their Creative Mission) led them to become an art teacher in inner city schools and paint murals with communities all around the world. After quitting their job as a teacher to start a nonprofit, Shereen realized that they still weren’t living their own Creative Mission. While they loved the impact that they could have on their students, they knew that their Creative Mission was bigger than that.
Called by the desire to engage in their own creative work, they started Radiant Wildheart in 2016. It was then that they discovered that community-building actually was their creative work. By helping people to identify their passions and create a life around them, they soon found themselves immersed in a community with thousands of people, with more joining every day. Their global following of loyal creatives, whom they call Wildhearts, are longing to make a positive and creative impact on the world. They believe that everyone deserves access to the revolutionary healing power of the arts.

Susan Lopez is a psychotherapist, energy healer, and mindfulness teacher, who focuses on the intersections of healing, spirituality, and social change. She comes from a long line of medicine women, santeros, and curanderos and is a carrier of sacred medicine songs. Her work centers on supporting people in transforming personal and systemic traumas and reconnecting to their authentic selves for deep, transformative healing. Using a variety of modalities, including psychotherapy, plant spirit medicine, and various shamanic energy healing practices, Susan supports individuals in returning to the truth, wholeness, and power of their fully expressed hearts. She believes that our liberation is multidimensional and bound up in each other and our recognition of our shared dignity, wisdom, and interconnectedness. Supporting people while they examine and untangle the great tangle of what it means to be human is her sacred passion and joy.
I hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation with Susan where we uncover the Witch Wound.

Get hype with the one and only Creative Hype Coach, Shereene Manimala!
Shereene and I have a conversation on what being a creative and an artist means to Shereene, and how that's evolved. We talk about the importance of having a support squad that wants to see you win and are down to hold you accountable; self care, time management, and some of the amazing things the Hype Coach is up to next! Chatting with her always leaves me lit up and inspired to continue taking my creative pursuits to the next level.
Shereene and I met through the @radiantwildheart business academy and I know without the support of that group, I would not have been able to launch my podcast and get my business to where it is now. I love having people like her to hold me accountable to what I want in life. I hope you have those people in yours. If not, I hope this episode inspires you to find your support squad and live your fullest & most authentic creative expression.
All my artists, creatives, and dabblers out there, you won't want to miss this one! Follow Shereene below to stay up to date with all her incredible offerings. Much love!

In the first part of this series we talked about what our self doubt looked like, about healing communally and how important that can be. Well, how do we start healing our feelings of self doubt from an individual standpoint?
Mariana and I answer this question as well as bring you updates on my life these past few months, and offer some words of encouragement to you. I hope this conversation supports you wherever you are. If you are in need of further support, you can book a free alignment call with me here to see if we'd align in working together.
