Sensitivity and Creativity
Episode 4 season 6: Lauren Salapa on Writing and Healing
If you’re the kind of person who walks into a room and picks up the subtle vibes immediately, and that energy sometimes drains you, listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Lauren Sapala, an author, teacher and creative guide, on honoring your intuition.
“It is very healing to work with your own creativity, and to experiment with being willing to be surprised.”
Show Notes:
If you’re highly sensitive, chances are you experience the world differently. You might see and feel things that others just don’t. You’ve probably always seen that as a detriment, but it doesn’t have to be. Your perceptions are actually a gift that can help you better understand yourself and others. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women’s coach, welcomes Lauren Sapala, author of several non-fiction books for intuitive creatives, including The INFJ Writer, The INFJ Revolution and Writing on the Intuitive Side of the Brain. In their discussion on living a more creative, empowered life as a sensitive intuitive, they’ll talk about boundaries, overcoming overwhelm, and finding a community where your creative process can unfold safely and help move you toward healing.
