In this episode I sit down with Yang Jiang, Creativity Coach and Founder of the Hidden Artist. We talk about her journey to creativity and her current role in helping others find their creative voices. As she mentions, people often check in on one another&apos;s relationships, health and virtually all other aspects of life. However, we rarely ask the question, "how is your creativity doing lately?"

This month I sat down with Aurora Vilchis. She is a beautiful lady with an equally beautiful soul! Our conversation centered around wholeness and what it means to be a whole person while taking on creative endeavors. So often being a "creative" is associated with being a dreamer rather than a doer; an idea person; someone with their head in the clouds... Rarely is "creative" associated with Type A personalities. Enter Aurora, the creative who gets the job done. Let her show you that one can love designing beautiful things while also getting joy out of planning projects in a spreadsheet. And that creativity can go hand in hand with order and productivity. We&apos;re mom&apos;s, we&apos;re boss career babes, we&apos;re creatives, we&apos;re whole people. You can find Aurora on Instagram @auroravilchiscreativeOr on her website, www.auroravilchis.com
