Finding Calm in the Storm: Angela McKinney on Creativity and Healing
“How we need our body here to sort of swing us into connectedness, into our hearts, into our stomachs, into our opening our chest, unlocking our throats, allowing our voices to find new forms, new expressions, new language to support our life more fully.”
How do you find calm when life feels like a whirlwind? Angela McKinney, addiction-recovery expert and host of 'Untangle & Thrive', believes that creativity might just be the answer. In this episode, Angela dives into how poetry, music, dance, and other forms of creative expression can help us connect with parts of ourselves that logic alone can't reach. She shares her thoughts on why having a 'stabilizing floor' is essential for accessing our creative sides, especially when life gets chaotic.
From painting to dancing, Angela explains how these activities can make us feel more alive and present, helping us to embrace both the beautiful and the terrifying aspects of our emotions. Whether you're an artist or someone simply looking to unlock your creative potential, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights. Angela also touches on the importance of group coaching and returning to our 'organic intelligence' to find peace and healing.
Tune in to discover how embracing creativity can lead to profound self-discovery and inner peace.
