In this uplifting and expansive episode, Claire O’Brien (Honest and Goodness Nutrition) is joined by creative strategist Briona (Grow Creative) to explore the deeply human and wildly underutilized power of creativity.

Together, they unpack what it really means to be creative (hint: it’s not just for artists), how fear and self-judgment block our flow, and why play, joy, and holistic marketing are the keys to both personal growth and business success.

Briona shares how she uses coaching and strategy to help people reconnect with their true voice, tap into their intuition, and express themselves - professionally and personally - with clarity, courage, and creativity.

Whether you’re running a business, going through a life transition, or simply feeling creatively stuck, this episode will help you reconnect to the spark inside you.
