Welcome to the Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.

Casual and meaningless are everywhere right now, but real connections are rare, and finding those connections in a world that seems increasingly disconnected is what the podcast is all about. It's what I'm all about!

It's a little unusual, but when you feel that connection, sometimes you just have to act, and this episode is the epitome of that idea.

Completely unplanned. Just two humans who the universe aligned in a city of over 2 million people and who found a connection through honesty, vulnerability, art, darkness, and the beauty that can be found in some of that darkness.

I believe that everything is connected and that I was always supposed to meet the guest who's on this episode. He's a creator, a graphic designer, he draws, he's a DJ, a music producer, and he has his own record label, and he uses all of these ways to express himself creatively.

But this episode isn't about the work as such. It's more about two people connecting through vulnerability, honesty, and openness.

We get deep on this one. We talk about the journey, and we discuss difficult topics like grief and loss and how leaning into some of those harder emotions and connecting to the deeper side of ourselves is often where you'll find the most beautiful stuff.

We discuss living in the moment, resilience and how we have to keep going no matter what happens in life because we are the art!

There's no such thing as a coincidence, and the universe put us together when we needed to meet. Two like-minded souls, finding connection through art and experiences. And that's what the podcast is all about.

He doesn't call himself an artist. He's an expressor, and his name is Lolo.

Hope you enjoy this episode of The Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.

Welcome to the Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.

Now, this might seem like a massive question, but are you living your life with purpose?

Maybe it's something that you haven't even thought about until right now, or maybe you think it's about finding that single grand calling or once-in-a-lifetime revelation that's reserved for the lucky few who have just managed to get it all worked out well.

On this episode, we are joined by the wonderful Hannah Miller. An author, a businesswoman, and a strength coach who specialises in helping to guide people to live lives with more intention and purpose. And she has literally written a book on it.

Studies have shown that having a clear sense of purpose improves not only our mental and physical health but also boosts our wellbeing, lowers our stress levels, and even increases life expectancy.

So Hannah's here to help. By explaining why purpose isn't just reserved for the select few and why it's not about a single grand calling, but that finding our purpose can happen for anyone in any situation, as long as we're willing to do the work.

We discuss how purpose is something that builds, something that evolves and shifts over time when we understand who we are as people and our values. It's something that's already within us based on our talents, personalities, and experiences.

But I get it. It all probably still sounds a bit daunting, right?

But that's why we also go into some of the practical and actionable steps in Hannah's book, 'The Purpose Pursuits: Eight Steps to the Life You've Been Searching For.' Steps that we can all use to try and uncover or build a sense of purpose in our lives. That's shaped by our own unique strengths and passions.

You can check out the links to all of Hannah's platforms, including the link to buy the book, while you're listening to the podcast, of course.

But for now, sit back and let Hannah explain why purpose isn't just about discovering what you are here to do, but actually about who you are here to be.

Hope you enjoy this episode of The Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.

Welcome to the Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.

What's the difference between art therapy and having a creative practice that feels therapeutic?

As it turns out, quite a lot—and in this episode, art psychotherapist and practising artist Claire Hilton helps us understand those differences.

Claire has always been creative and understood the benefits of creating from a young age as a way of processing some of the feelings related to her father being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

With this understanding, Claire went on to study Fine Art and then a Master's in Art Psychotherapy, turning her love of creating and her love of people into something that has a real impact for the clients that she works with.

For many of us, art is a way to express something or communicate a feeling, often with a finished piece in mind. But art therapy isn’t about creating a final outcome. It’s about connecting with ourselves, exploring what’s happening beneath the surface, and focusing on the process. As an art psychotherapist, Claire witnesses that process and helps join the dots of what may be going on internally for her clients.

In this episode, we talk about Claire's creative journey, her path to becoming an art psychotherapist, and how she balances that with her own art practice.

We also explore why there’s no such thing as good or bad art, why people with an existing creative practice may struggle with art therapy, the bravery it takes to create, and the value of making art no one else ever sees.

Claire also shares tips for beating creative block and, a big one for many of us, how to overcome the fear of things not being perfect.

Check out the links below to both Claire's psychotherapy work as well as her personal artwork while you're listening to the podcast, of course!

But for now, get comfortable and let's find out why maybe we all need a little bit of therapy.

Hope you enjoy this episode of The Creative Nowhere Land Podcast.
