Empowering Your Creative Flow and Inspired Living
Welcome to Your Creative Chord Podcast, where we explore creativity, personal growth, and purposeful living. I’m your host, Jenny Leigh Hodgins—author, poet, pianist, composer, and creative empowerment coach. I’m here to guide us as we tap into our creative flow and navigate life with more inspiration and resilience.
This podcast is for creators, artists, musicians, caregivers, and anyone looking to reconnect with their creative side. Together, we’ll explore practical tips, thoughtful strategies, and heartfelt encouragement to break through obstacles, uncover our true potential, and live with intention.
Drawing from my own experiences as a musician, teacher, poet, author, and my SGI Buddhist practice, I’ll guide us through the ups and downs of creativity and self-expression. From overcoming creative blocks and performance anxiety to building sustainable creative habits, each episode is designed to help us move forward with clarity and confidence.
If you’re ready to reignite your creativity and live with more purpose, you’re in the right place.
