The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
Welcome to The Authentic Creative with Siri Baruc Thornton: a top 2% 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.
