Embracing Creative and Spiritual Callings with Chela Davison
Gorgeous listeners, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home; a little moment of deep connection, where we dive into the inextricable link between mind, body and realising your most authentic self.
In this episode, we sit down with the wonderful Chela Davison; Master Integral Coach, Writer, Producer and all-round creative force, to share her profound journey of "finding calling". As a guide to thousands on the themes of artistic recovery and spiritual alignment, she walks us through the blueprint you need to truly hear, attend to and bring into life the mission that fires you. Irrespective, perhaps of the trepidation each one of us faces in squaring up to our true purpose.
Chela shares her transition from leading an incredibly successful coaching business, positioned at the top of her field, to letting it all go to allow a greater creative force to move through her. This willingness to surrender to intuition led to the writing and release of her empowering one-woman show - an opus on the themes of identity, societal expectations and being "A Little Bit Much".
We explore the powerful impact of listening to one's inner voice, the importance of community and shared spaces, and how to express your spirituality in a way that feels true to you. You'll learn how to navigate the practical challenges & sacrifices that can come with following one's true path; in their turn, liberating the immense and transformative power of feeling enlivened by a life spent in authenticity, presence, curiosity and connection.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed sharing it with you.
