The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
The Authentic Creative is a top 2% globally ranked podcast hosted by Siri Baruc Thornton.
Every conversation is an invitation to come home to yourself.
With more than 316 episodes and listeners in 65+ countries, Siri has welcomed Emmy Award winners, New York Times bestselling authors, neuroscientists, psychologists, physicians, artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, spiritual teachers, researchers, and everyday people whose stories illuminate what it means to be fully human.
Every episode begins with curiosity.
Together we explore creativity, healing, psychology, spirituality, relationships, purpose, nervous system regulation, and the beautifully imperfect human experience. These conversations invite honesty, deepen compassion, expand perspective, and remind us that healing often begins the moment we feel deeply seen.
The subtitle of this podcast is Expanding Our Capacity to Feel Good.
Feeling good begins with expanding our capacity to fully experience life—with love, grief, wonder, uncertainty, creativity, gratitude, joy, and compassion. As that capacity grows, so does our ability to live authentically, create courageously, love deeply, and meet life with presence.
Alongside intimate conversations, you’ll also find guided meditations, Transformational Breathwork, Reiki teachings, and solo reflections that offer practical tools for healing, authentic living, and personal growth.
Everything I create is rooted in one intention:
Creating extraordinary spaces where people feel deeply seen, safe to tell the truth, and remember who they truly are.
Whether you’ve been listening since the very beginning or you’re pressing play for the first time, I’m honored you’re here.
Welcome to The Authentic Creative.

The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
When the Room Shifted: 5 Minute Meditations, Co Regulation + Motherhood with Jessie Larson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I dialogue with Jessie Larson, co creator of Five Minute Meditations for Kids, about how simple, intentional moments can shift the entire energy of a home.
I share the story of playing her meditation in the ER while Bodhi’s arm was being reset, and how everything changed. What could have been chaos became calm, connected, and deeply held.
We explore co regulation, how our nervous systems shape our children’s, and why even 2 to 5 minutes can interrupt anxiety and create real emotional shifts.
This is a conversation about motherhood, overwhelm, and the reminder that it doesn’t have to be complicated to be powerful.
“Time slowed down, and I felt like we were wrapped in this bubble of love.”
“You are a good mom. We’re all doing our best.”
Connect with Jessie at Five Minute Meditations for Kids on Instagram, YouTube, and all podcast platforms.
If this journey is resonating and you feel called to deepen into the embodiment of these themes, I offer private 12 session breathwork journeys inspired by the chapters of The Artist’s Way.
I am also hosting The Authentic Creative: Breathwork and Reiki by the Sea, a women’s retreat taking place May 3 to 6 on the Oregon Coast. There are a few spots remaining. If you feel curious, you are welcome to email me and we can explore together whether it is the right fit.
Thank you for walking this devotional path with me. I am deeply honored to share this creative and healing journey alongside you.
