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.

Creative Power, Burnout Recovery, & Becoming the Main Character in Your Life | Your Creative Chord Podcast Ep 80
EPISODE 80: Creative Power, Burnout Recovery & Becoming the Main Character in Your Life
In this reflective episode, I share my personal story—why burnout recovery, boundary-setting, and creative empowerment have become a vital part of my work. You'll hear how navigating caregiving, family dysfunction, and community leadership led me to reclaim my voice and shift from overextension to alignment.
This episode includes:
- Insights on recognizing and shifting out of burnout
- Support for setting boundaries without guilt
- A reading of my original poem, Your Life (from my poetry book)
- Guided reflection prompts to support your inner clarity
- A meditative moment with my original music, Ocean Waving
If you’re feeling blocked, burned out, or disconnected from your creativity, this episode offers space to reconnect with what matters most—through creative expression, self-compassion, and personal values.
