Trust in your purpose - with Clenda Sabrina Lahr

What happens when you stop trying to cram your creativity into a single box? In this episode, Anne van Damme sits downwith multi-faceted artist and somatic coach Clenda Sabrina Lahr to discuss the messy, magical reality of living a creative life.

From the ‘internal knock’ of a new poem to the pressure of turning a passion into a profession, Anne and Clenda explorethe thin line between ‘serious art’ and the ‘silly little paintings’ that keep us whole. They dive into:

• The Power of Claiming the Title: How Clenda decided to simply "become" a writer by choice.

• The Vessel Theory: Discussing Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic and the feeling of ideas flowing through us.

• The "Unlearning" Process: How to find the spark of joy again after years of professional pressure and academic study.

• Private vs. Public: How to decide which creations are for the world and which are just for the "offline" self.

Whether you’re a songwriter, a painter, or someone who feels like a multi-faceted creative, this episode is a permission slip to call yourself an artist—regardless of the output.
