29 The Secret Connection of Health, Art and Expressing Creativity with Cynthia Morris
When struggling to find a passionate creative drive, we all come up short some days... but how often do we consider the effect this has on our health?Today I'm doing something a little different. I thought it'd be really fun to have Cynthia Morris on the show.Cynthia is a rare breed of author, illustrator and performer. She is the brilliant mind behind Chasing Sylvia Beach, a fast-paced, intriguing romantic fantasy.In this episode Cynthia teaches us how to accept and express the artist we were born to be. We dissect what keeps us from our best writing and our electric creativity.
Also, I’m excited to share with you my sponsor, Perfect Supplements. I use their Cordyceps and Natural Calm Magnesium all the time – and am thrilled to partner with them to bring you the show.
