Customer Reviews
Feeling It!!
Thank you so much to these two amazing women for their intelligent, compassionate conversation on creativity. I have been an artist in some form or another for most of my 33 years and now as a mum of 3 young kids am entering a new era of my creative journey and its so wonderful to hear the thoughts of Liz and Brene on creativity.
Elizabeths voice is pure wisdom from above!
Ten minutes into listening and I bought your book 'Big Magic'. My mum passed away nearly 6 years ago and I have not heard such wisdom since she was alive until I started following this podcast. It is truly a gift to those who like myself feel a little lost sometimes to get perspective and insight like Elizabeth gives. From the bottom of my heart Thank you!
Thank you for feeding my soul
I can so relate to each of the magic lessons students. Creativity has ebbed and flowed in my life… I’ve written a book, written and performed songs, poetry, stolen quiet moments to paint art and am a podcaster… but I still feel creatively stifled at times. One of the biggest aha moments for me was when Brene Brown was talking about getting her people together over three intensive weeks to collaborate on helping her create her book Rising Strong. This idea was really inspiring to me and something I will look at doing for a future book. It took me three years to write my first one and I was hidden away in my office for much of it. Liz, you’re such a terrific interviewer and podcasting really suits you. I wish you well and hope to connect with you someday. Big love for #BigMagic.
