Empowering Your Creative Flow & Inspired Living
Welcome to Your Creative Chord, the podcast for creatives, artists, musicians, caregivers, and anyone seeking to nurture their creative spark, build creative confidence, and live with more intention, resilience, and joy. I’m Jenny Leigh Hodgins—creative empowerment coach, author, poet, pianist, composer, and longtime creativity mentor.
This podcast helps you rebuild trust in your unique creative process with practical mindset tools, self-care strategies, and curiosity-driven creative exploration. Whether you’re navigating creative blocks, managing burnout, or simply deepening your connection to creativity and inspired living, each episode offers clear, actionable guidance to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Drawing from 30+ years of teaching, composing, caregiving, and my SGI Buddhist practice, I share insights that support nurturing creativity, exploring new ideas, and living a more inspired, authentic life.

Empowering Women With A Queen Mindset | Your Creative Chord Podcast Episode 33
In episode 33, part 1 of 2 with my guest, Empowerment and Productivity Coach, Agnese Rudzate, we learn how she's helping female entrepreneurs thrive in their businesses without 24/7 time investment. Her Freedom Business Formula is designed to bring structure so business owners can get rid of overwhelm and constant hustle by working smarter. Rudzate’s Freedom Business Formula Involves: Mindset, Commitment, Implementation.
HIGHLIGHTS:
“Find that weak link, what’s not working. Focus on things that bring results. You increase your profits but decrease your hours because you focus on the right things.”
‘Ask yourself, “Are you being active? Or are you being productive?”
“If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?”
This puts things into perspective.’
“Without Mindset, there can’t be big results because you are your business.”
“When you start to see results, you get empowered. It all really comes down to the mindset.”
“List all your business tasks or processes. What can be delegated, automated, or eliminated?”
“Prioritizing is about what brings results. If it doesn’t, why is it there?”
“Just reach out to your mentor or role model. It doesn’t cost anything. Why wouldn’t you reach out?”
