9. Balancing Creativity Within the Changing Seasons of Motherhood with Nikki Hollett
Do you consider yourself a creative woman? How do you balance those creative urges, projects, and ideas while also navigating new motherhood?
This week Lauren chats with multi passionate artist Nikki Hollett. Nikki reflects on her initiation into motherhood and the impact it's had on her creativity and work as an artist. Through the lens of her own personal experiences and healing journey, Nikki shares the nuances of her own relationship with creativity as a mother and artist, offering profound insights around balancing creative urges with mothering. Together, they weave a beautiful web of conversation that centres around creativity, intuition, human design, ancestral healing, and cyclical living.
Nikki shares more on:
- Navigating creative urges without sacrificing connection, especially in the tender early postpartum time
- Birth as a portal to deeper intuition and an initiation into a new creative frequency
- Her experience with ancestral healing, and the effect of our lineage, familial stories, and traumas have on the way we were mothered and the way we mother
- The beauty of our natural hormonal and physiological design postpartum and the effect that has on our energy and creativity
Nikki also shares more about her newest creative project blending fibre arts and her shamanic gifts that celebrate the healing journey so many women are on right now.
This conversation will leave you with a new perspective around the cyclical nature of creativity and how there is a season for everything.
