Description

Maya Oren became the Creative Director for a boutique hotel after starting off as an entrepreneur making films and telling stories from around the world. She also has a substack newsletter called ‘On Holiday’ in which she hopes to inspire others to live more intentionally and find the sweetness out of everyday life experiences.

Key Takeaways:

• Creativity can be part of our everyday lives, it doesn’t have to be siloed to a large artistic pursuit
• Shifting from entrepreneurship to the corporate world can be empowering in that it can provide us with the resources to realize the full potential of our creativity
• Finding rituals that help to ground you can bring some slowness and intentionality to our lives
  
  -We can pull ritual inspiration from our cultural heritage and through examining how other cultures approach life
  
  -For example, Maya has taken to lighting Shabbat candles on Friday and using a Mezuzah over her door to honor her cultural background and find some moments of ritual
• Recognition in our careers will come when we’re living in alignment and from a source of joy
