Called to Bloom — where floral artistry meets holistic wellbeing and smart, soulful entrepreneurship.

Join your host Jen Cavender — artist, educator, and founder of Nectar & Bloom — in these powerful, mini masterclasses and candid conversations that blend floral design, small business strategy, and holistic wellbeing.

Called to Bloom is a podcast for creative souls who are ready to evolve. From stepping into a new career in flowers, to building a creative life in alignment and abundance, and from pivoting when it’s time to grow, to recovering from burnout — each episode equips you with holistic tools and perspectives to grow a thriving floral practice (or any creative venture) without sacrificing your health, sanity, or creative wellbeing.

Almost anyone with a desire to create with flowers can begin, but designing an aligned, and sustainable creative business is another matter. Called to Bloom brings you the tools, systems, and support you may not have known you needed in order to unleash your creativity and build and sustain your dream.

What to expect:

• Health & wellbeing insights – guidance from Ayurveda, Reiki, and somatic practices that keep burnout at bay and creativity in flow

• Community & mentorship – feel seen, supported, and empowered alongside fellow floral designers, solopreneurs, and flower‑lovers

This is a podcast devoted to empowering you to evolve and live well, while you transform your callings into a successful business and a creative life.

  • My Favorite Trick to Unlock Your Creative Potential
    Jan 28 2026

    This is all about renewal and creative expansion, a celebratory finale for our first season of Called to Bloom, where I am sharing with you a trick I discovered along the way that always returns me to that playful and infinite source of creative possibilities.

    The goal is to open new pathways to explore, nurture, and refresh your creative practice with a new perspective that empowers you to find cues and inspiration in the whole world around you.

    What catches your interest or makes you curious? What are you passionate about? What method, practice, study, art form or industry do you know like the back of your hand?

    This is all a wealth of inspiration that you can use to inform and transform your creative process as well as what you create. And it's time for you to have this trick up your sleeve now too.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    • Discovering the Tool of Creative Translation
    • A Step-By-Step Guide for How to Use This Trick
    • Examples & Uses of this Creative Tool in Action
    • The Origins of This Creative Tool For Me
    • Expanded Translation Tricks to Try

  • Self-Care for Balance: The Renewal You've Been Seeking
    Jan 14 2026

    During busy seasons we can get really out of balance — we get caught up, wound up, overwhelmed, or just spread a little too thin — especially as sensitive creatives who are very in tune with and responsive to our environments. The energy is high in a busy season, expectations are high, timelines can be tight, and we can lose track of our own needs while we tend to the demands and opportunities all around us.

    Even when we are doing things we love and value, whether for our businesses and the people we serve or the people we love, a constant state of output and productivity is not sustainable.

    What we need are accessible self-care practices that are easy to find, easy to do, and that allow us to return to balance again through simply receiving and through nourishing our bodies and nervous systems so that we can rest and feel refreshed for a new season in alignment.


    In This Episode, We Cover:

    • Cycles & Rhythms — self-care practices & how they bring balance
    • Sound & Frequencies — self-care practices & how they bring balance
    • Bodywork & Somatics — self-care practices & how they bring balance
    • Introspection & Reflection — self-care practices & how they bring balance
    • Connection & Community — self-care practices & how they bring balance
