  • Creativity is the missing link to our healing - with Amie McNee

    Creativity is the missing link to our healing - with Amie McNee
    Oct 1 2024
    “Creativity is the way that we heal. It is the way that we alchemize a lot of our trauma into magic.” Sah D'Simone sits down with Creativity Coach, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Amie McNee to explore the transformative power of creativity and art in our lives. This discussion dives deep into the vital role of artistic expression in healing, personal growth, and connecting with our deeper selves. Amie, whose upcoming book "We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something" is set to release in March 2025, shares her passion for empowering others to embrace their inherent creativity. She challenges common misconceptions about art and artists, arguing that creativity is not reserved for a talented few but is accessible to everyone. This conversation touches on essential themes: the alchemical nature of art in transforming trauma into beauty, the prophetic potential of creative expression, and the power of artists' voices in shaping our world. Amie and Sah explore how art gives us agency, creates momentum in our lives, and allows us to rewrite our internal narratives. They also delve into the practice of journaling as a form of art, discussing how it can serve as a time capsule of the present moment and a tool for self-discovery. Amie reveals how the act of creating can be both beautiful and challenging, confronting us with our darkness and light. Whether you're a seasoned artist or someone who's never considered themselves creative, this episode offers wisdom and encouragement to tap into your artistic potential. Join Sah and Amie for a soul-stirring conversation on creativity, self-expression, and the transformative power of making art. GUEST BIO Amie McNee created in total isolation for a long time. She bought into the stories that Artists can't make money, that they're lazy, that they're avoiding the real world. She spent years working jobs she hated, writing books and in a cycle of depression because she believed her desire to live a creative life made her less than. The work she does now is in service to her past self. She speaks, teaches and writes love letters to creators, reminding them that the world needs what they have to make, reminding them of their worth, and their importance in this world. Amie has been called to create supportive, empowered communities for writers and artists. She believes this is a big, beautiful, hard journey, and that no one needs to do it without support. Amie can be found on YouTube, Instagram, or on podcast apps. www.amiemcnee.com ✨✨✨ This podcast was brought to you by: IIN - Are you ready to take the next step in your health journey and career?

  • Facing Death, Finding Life: The Transformative Power of Compassion - with Peggy Kelley

    Facing Death, Finding Life: The Transformative Power of Compassion - with Peggy Kelley
    Sep 17 2024
    "We're kind of just thrown into this gig, and we gotta make sense of it." In this enlightening episode, Sah D’Simone sits down with Peggy Kelley, the lead chaplain at Cedars-Sinai, to unravel the profound mysteries of being human. Together, they dive deep into the spiritual riddles we all face and explore how to make sense of life’s most challenging moments. Peggy opens up about her extraordinary work with sick and dying children, offering a glimpse into the world of pediatric care through the eyes of a chaplain. She shares how her mystical “superpowers” can help us navigate our own lives with greater depth and understanding. From the innate spirituality of children to nurturing a connection with the divine, Peggy’s stories from the bedside are both heart-wrenching and inspiring. This conversation touches on essential themes: the randomness of life, the mysteries of death, and how we can find beauty and grace in the midst of suffering. Peggy reveals what it’s like to be present with those at the end of life and how embracing mortality can lead to personal transformation. They also explore what it means to be a modern mystic, the role of spirituality across faith traditions, and the power of compassion, love, and acceptance in healing. Whether you’re grappling with life’s big questions or simply seeking deeper meaning, this episode offers wisdom and comfort through the lens of someone who has witnessed over 2,000 final breaths. Join Sah and Peggy for a soul-stirring conversation on death, life, and everything in between. GUEST BIO Peggy Kelly has been the lead Christian chaplain at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the past 13 years. Originally from Minnesota, she grew up in a haunted lake house, where her spiritual inclinations developed from a young age. A naturally spiritual and imaginative child, Peggy initially pursued a career in acting and comedy, moving to Los Angeles with dreams of working in TV and film. She performed improvisational comedy for Disney and worked in the entertainment industry. However, the events of 9/11 prompted a profound shift in her path. Listening to her inner spiritual calling, she transitioned into chaplaincy, a role in which she has since accompanied over 2,000 people through the final moments of their lives. Peggy views this work as a privilege, being present for the most profound and vulnerable experiences of others. Outside of her intense professional life, Peggy embraces the vibrant lifestyle of being a "gal in LA." http://www.Instagram.com/chaplainpeggy https://www.instagram.com/them.lovablelarsens https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/near-death/id1689779166 ✨✨✨ This podcast was brought to you by: ONESKIN: for everyone that wants to prevent or reverse the signs of aging with a groundbreaking approach.
