YOUR WILD CREATIVE SELF: Recent Episodes
Eva Kopriosek
PODCAST FOR YOUR CREATIVE JOURNEY This is a podcast for everyone who feels a deep calling to express themselves through art- no matter how old you are or if you have not created anything for a long time. Very often the process of creation is obstructed by old habits and patterns of belief that end up blocking our unique voice so we get all croaky and insecure, maybe not making any art at all at the end of the day.Tapping into your true wild, the core of yourself that has not been tamed or made small will offer your true gift to the world. This podcast presents a mix of various topics related to the wild creative self: self-confidence in your art, moving from personal drama to a conscious process of creation, matters of business and money, self-care and much more. I will talk to people across many sectors of education, art making, curating and business on what accessing their wild creative self means to them. This podcast intends to provide diverse and bountiful inspiration so you continue to grow and expand as an artist and creator.You also find me on Instagram @yourwildcreativeself. Love&Joy, Eva x
In this episode Carina Maiwald talks to me about her own journey into the wild in the company of free horses, shedding the skin of her old self as an acclaimed and multi-award-winning equine photographer. She shares some marvelous insights into what wild horses can teach us about ourselves as artists and the creative process. We also talk about authenticity and how to show up authentically on social media as artists and why it's okay to step into certain roles in the process.

In this Episode I am fortunate to have US-born author and book coach Emily Tamayo Maher as my interview guest.
Her book "The Meaning Method" provides a spiritual path to writing and publishing for aspiring authors. She talks to me about what led her to link the system of the chakras to the art of writing. We also touch upon the importance of curiosity in the creative process, the difference between traditional ideas of coaching and coaching for artists- and many other inspiring topics.
You can find her book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09D191T6N?ref_=pe_3052080_276849420
Here is the link to the Free Writing & Yoga Staycation she mentions in the interview: https://meaning-method.ck.page/f33962cfa5

When we come (back) to art at a later stage in our lives, the game is a little different compared to that of a young person. Imagine a child walking up to an adult proudly showing a newly drawn scribble of a drawing-chances are high that it will be praised for it rather than criticised. Now imagine yourself walking up to your next door neighbour or your colleagues at work with your freshly painted picture and all your insecurities of whether or not this is good enough- reactions are likely to be a little different.
When we have only just rediscovered art for ourselves we need to be careful with who we share it with. And we need to be careful when we bump into old versions of ourselves, they might not wish us only the best on our new journey.

Do you feel like you have wasted huge chunks of your past life because you were not creative?
Are you regretting the many days, weeks, months and years you put off making art because there is so much you could have achieved in the meantime?
When we come back to art at a later stage in our life it is so easy to condemn ourselves for all the things we did not do. Things we missed out on, opportunities we led pass by.
It is very easy to beat yourself up over this, but it is certainly far from helpful for your next steps as the creative soul you are.
In this episode I share with you some tipps and rituals how you can honour your non-creative past. Integrating our pasts in all aspects of life is crucial to our healing process. And if you hurt because of your non written stories, your unpainted pictures, your unsung songs, because of all the art you did not make- it is time to begin integrating that past and see it for what it truly is: the necessary process of your unique artistic journey.

So you are an artist? Wow, that's impressive. What do you create, can I see it?
If you cringe at the first question and fall silent at the second one: No worries, I got you.
This Podcast got you because it is made for you, the wild creative soul that got caught and tamed along life's journey. The creative soul that lost touch with the inner wild of unlimited possibilities and freedom to expression- maybe only recently, perhaps also decades ago.
In this very first episode I am telling you a bit about myself, where I come from both in terms of my own story as well as my creative life and how I relate to the topic of wild creativity. I am untangling a few non-functional narratives that I told myself for many years- and firmly believed them! There are many more I am going to untangle in the future. This is the beginning. Enjoy!
