Episode 26: Creativity and Spirituality with Gail Warwick

You think you’ve lost your creativity.

That you need more time, more discipline, or to “get back into the flow” before you can start writing again.

But what if the real thing holding you back isn’t a lack of ideas… it’s the moment you stopped trusting what was coming through?

In this episode, Vanessa explores the belief that shifts everything for creatives, coaches, healers and experts who feel stuck: you’re not blocked — you’re interrupting the flow. This conversation will change how you see your creativity, your voice, and your ability to finally bring your book to life.
