The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
Welcome to The Authentic Creative with Siri Baruc Thornton: a top 2.5% globally ranked podcast for women who are ready to expand their capacity to feel good, embody their truth, and create from wholeness.
Here, we explore what it really means to live and lead from authenticity. What if feeling good in your body, your work, and your life isn’t indulgent, but the key to everything?
Each week, you’ll hear intimate conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, healers, and visionaries who are redefining success through creativity and embodiment. Alongside these stories, host Siri Baruc Thornton: Reiki Master Teacher, Transformational Breathwork guide, retreat creator, and podcaster — shares grounded spiritual tools, somatic practices, and lived wisdom from her work leading retreats for women around the world.
You’ll also be invited into monthly women’s circles and leadership panels, where diverse voices gather around a new theme each time, exploring embodiment, abundance, creativity, leadership, or the art of truly feeling good.
With listeners in over 65 countries, this podcast is both sanctuary and spark: a reminder that you don’t need to push to create, or perform to belong. You get to feel good. You get to embody your truth. And from that place, your most authentic life and art flow effortlessly.

Recovering a Sense of Power: Embodied Companion to The Artist’s Way Part 3
In Episode 3 of this 12 part minisode devotional series, I explore what it means to recover a sense of creative power and reconnect with the part of you that has choice, agency, and voice, even when doubt, fear, or past experiences have made that feel distant.
I reflect on how power is often misunderstood and how many sensitive and creative people learn to distance themselves from power because it has been modeled as control, dominance, or perfection. This episode explores how creative power lives in presence, small choices, and the willingness to begin before certainty arrives.
I also share personal reflections on how being a healer, wife, mom and retreat leader helped me experience power as something that emerges when ego softens, and how that freedom can be remembered and accessed through breath, creativity, and presence in everyday life.
This episode includes a gentle breathwork and visualization designed to help you reconnect with your inner authority, release fear around creative expression, and step toward your life with greater trust in your own voice.
I encourage you to move through this series in order, daily or weekly, and consider choosing an inspiration partner to witness the journey with you.
If this work is resonating and you feel drawn to go deeper, I offer a private 12 session breathwork journey inspired by the chapters of The Artist’s Way. This is a space to be fully held as you embody the themes and recover yourself with support:
