The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
After Party Magic: Gratitude, Joy & Polishing Each Other in Community
In this spontaneous and soulful after party following our Spring Equinox and International Day of Happiness panel, we dive into the rich reflections and lingering heart wisdom that surfaced once the formal conversation ended.
We explore the beautiful truth that “the mud is fuel”—how the challenges we face are the very ground from which our light and transformation can bloom. From Buddhist teachings about blooming from the mud and polishing each other in community, to personal stories about healing, embodiment, and choosing joy, this after party is filled with real talk, laughter, and tenderness.
We speak about:
- Gratitude as a foundational spiritual practice and gateway to abundance
- Finding presence in everyday moments like brushing our teeth or watching the sunrise
- Remembering that we are already enough—and acting from that truth
- Community as a mirror and a polishing tool for growth
- The power of living fully in the now, not waiting for joy to come later
- And the beauty of sharing space with women on a healing, creative path
From sunrise in Australia to divine downloads in Florida, this episode captures the joy and wisdom that arises when powerful women come together and speak from the heart: unscripted, unfiltered, and full of soul.
Shoutouts include:
Claudia’s powerful podcast Don’t Shrink to Fit and her award-winning children’s book Secrets Don’t Include Mom, as well as everyone’s heartfelt reflections on the importance of gratitude, presence, and self-trust.
This is it. This is the moment. This is the joy.
Thanks for staying for the after party! We're so glad you're here.
