Episode 6: Art, Emotion & Self-Discovery with Gen from Gen & Tonic Art

In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Gen from Gen & Tonic Art. Gen is a brilliant artist, new mum, and all-around creative powerhouse. Gen’s work isn’t just about painting—it’s about shifting energy, stopping people in their tracks, and creating art that makes you feel.

We dive deep into:
✨ The connection between art, emotions, and personal growth
✨ Prioritizing self-care over people-pleasing
✨ How tuning into your body and creativity can lead to real transformation
✨ The power of stopping, noticing, and embracing the moment

Gen also shares her new program 52 Days of Fortitude, the daily practice you didn't know you needed! Daily reminders that shift your energy to find fortitude, clarity and calm.

We have just experienced the Spring Equinox here in the Southern Hemisphere and this episode is a little on that and about my recent experience at Soul Flight. I share a bit about the experience and the practice of noticing the small things in life, trying not to rush and making the most of our time.

Enjoy the episode and as always, reach out if you would like to connect.
