126: Embracing Creativity as Your Birthright with Catherine Willows

What is your relationship with creativity? How do you define wellness? These are the questions that we explore in a recent conversation with Catherine Willows, a dynamic individual who believes that creativity is our birthright and integral to our total wellness.

In a fascinating discussion on the Mystical Sisterhood podcast, host Maureen Spielman and guest Catherine Willows delve deep into the intersections of creativity, wellness, and personal growth. Catherine, an impressive figure with a background in nursing, functional medicine, and various healing arts, shares how creativity is an essential thread woven into the fabric of our existence.

Catherine emphasizes that many of us have lost our creative spark but insists that it's still within us, waiting to be rediscovered. This creativity isn't just about making art or music; it's about how we solve problems, express ourselves, and connect with the world.

By participating in creativity, we don't just contribute to our well-being; we enrich the collective tapestry of humanity. Catherine's work with women underscores the importance of tapping into our creativity at all stages of life, especially as we enter phases often neglected by traditional societal roles.

Catherine Willows' insights serve as a powerful reminder of the necessity to nurture our creative selves. She invites us all to delve into this process with curiosity and compassion, embracing our imaginative capabilities as an essential part of our wellness journey.

About the Podcast

Mystical Sisterhood
Mystical Sisterhood is a celebration of women interested in connection to themselves, community, and the Universe. If you are a woman seeking conscious conversations on modern spirituality, understanding your soul’s journey, contemplating new directions in life, and mystical practices, you are in the right place!

The weekly podcast is hosted by Maureen Spielman, a Transformational Life Coach, trained in the Art and Practice of Spiritual Psychology, as well as Integrative Wellness and Conscious Parenting.

Maureen boldly invites the questions we only feel safe enough to ask in the community of other curious women ready to shift the current paradigm and soar. These curated conversations marry what we think of as our mainstream lives with the mystical.

Each episode infuses everyday women with the strength and clarity to rise above the self-limiting beliefs we have all heard on repeat in our heads so we can step into the limitless possibilities for shining and thriving in this lifetime.

Through interviews with healers, intuitives, and other courageous women doing the work of developing our inner lives, Maureen explores how to leave the lack dance behind, reclaim our worthiness, honor our intuition, and let the light in so we can more clearly see the light in others (and ourselves).

If you want to join this global movement of healers and seekers creating a new paradigm convened by an authentic woman who embodies the transformation practices she promotes, subscribe and listen to the Mystical Sisterhood podcast today.
