Looking for a creative excuse to get outside? In this Guided Creativity episode, we're slowing down, taking a nature walk, and turning simple treasures from the outdoors into a playful piece of art. It's a mindful activity that encourages creativity, movement, and a little curiosity along the way. Whether you're creating solo, with a friend, or with your kids, I hope this exercise inspires you to step outside and see what you discover.

Episode 31 - Characters & Words by Allistar

In this Spotlight Interview, I’m sitting down with Allistar Banks, a writer and creator I connected with through Threads. Allistar creates a variety of work — from journals and courses to children’s books and cookbooks — all inspired by her personal experiences and growth journey. In this conversation, we talk about how she’s navigated self-doubt, built confidence in her voice, and now uses her writing to help and inspire others. This episode is a reminder to keep creating, to share your voice, and to start even before you feel ready — because you never know who you might impact or what you might learn about yourself along the way. ✨ Connect with Allistar: Socials: https://instagram.com/allistarthewriter https://facebook.com/allistarauthor https://tiktok.com/allistarbanks Products: Books on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/stores/Allistar-Anne-Banks/author/B00QSAFW90?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnAkbFulsZnBvEJaRyHLM4mrTU01M4upRkJxPk3ZNDQoe6Y43yHFlGEXCyOrw_aem_ZIfuqmeL4YQUxOVeeTkPZw&ccs_id=91794b3e-8481-4779-8879-987d1f4822ea] Bluegrass Redemption Book of Poems [https://abanks91.gumroad.com/l/bluegrassredemption?_gl=1%2A1a29139%2A_ga%2AMzQxMTIyNjk1LjE3Njc5MDI0NDE.%2A_ga_6LJN6D94N6%2AczE3NjgxMzA2NzkkbzkkZzEkdDE3NjgxMzA3MjQkajE1JGwwJGgw&utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGn-u0Hl_fx7GUlD0vXQw2sYnx4u9wF494Y0AA511TaaDycTZr4SKK8-u8Jxk4_aem_hmVHwh3vGUiY9ddtCz4jhQ&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3_a1denngrmgufuy] Courses: How to Tackle the Seven Behaviors of Self-Sabotage [https://abanks91.gumroad.com/l/tackleselfsabotage?_gl=1*ewml94*_ga*MTg2MjEyMzkyNi4xNzczNzk2MzQ0*_ga_6LJN6D94N6*czE3NzU4MzcwNDkkbzI2JGcwJHQxNzc1ODM3MDQ5JGo2MCRsMCRoMA..]💌 Connect with Me: Website: https://www.mindovermatastudio.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindovermatastudio 🎵 Background Music: Lightness of Being by Strawberry Candy on Soundcloud.com
