With J.K. Kennedy

In a world obsessed with perfection and highlight reels, what happens when we dare to embrace our messiness? The latest episode of Find Your Feminine Fire featuring poet JK Kennedy offers a refreshing perspective on creativity, healing, and the power of authentic self-expression.

"Anxiety has a million hands," Kennedy shares in the episode, "and until you put something in every one of those hands, it needs something to do." This simple yet profound observation speaks to a truth many of us feel in our bones – our unexpressed emotions need an outlet. They need somewhere to go, something to become. Through her journey, Kennedy discovered that creativity isn't just about making art; it's about making space for our full human experience.

In one of the most touching moments of the conversation, Kennedy describes catching herself trying to multitask while brushing her teeth – a moment that crystallized how disconnected we've become from simple, present-moment experiences. Her journey of "rewilding," isn't about becoming more impulsive or wild in the conventional sense. Instead, it's about returning to our natural rhythm, learning to be fully present in each moment, and finding beauty in the ordinary.

What makes Kennedy's work so powerful isn't just its artistry – it's its honesty.

Through sharing her most vulnerable moments online, she discovered a universal truth: the very things we think make us unlovable are often what connect us most deeply to others. Her poetry serves as a mirror, reflecting back our shared human experience in all its messy, beautiful glory.

Whether you're a seasoned creator or someone who has never thought of themselves as creative, this episode offers a gentle invitation to explore your inner landscape through creative expression. As Kennedy's journey shows us, sometimes our deepest wounds become our most beautiful offerings to the world. Her debut book, "Clumsy Beauty," stands as testament to this truth – that in our messiest, most vulnerable moments, we often find our greatest strength and most meaningful connections.

In this soul-stirring conversation, you'll discover:

— How hitting rock bottom led to an unexpected creative awakening that transformed one woman's life

— Why expressing your "mess" through creativity might be the most powerful path to healing
— The surprising connection between anxiety and creativity, and how to channel nervous energy into artistic expression
— What it really means to slow down and "rewild" yourself in a world that never stops
— How sharing vulnerable truths can create profound connections and remind us we're not alone
