If you’ve ever started a creative project with excitement…

only to abandon it weeks later…

If you’ve felt inspired one month and completely dry the next…

If you’ve wondered whether you’re inconsistent, unfocused, or just “not disciplined enough”…

This episode will reframe everything.

In today’s conversation, Riva shares a feminine, cyclical approach to creativity — one rooted in nervous system wisdom, menstrual cycle awareness, and the natural rhythms of nature.

Because creativity was never meant to be linear.

And when we try to force ourselves to create the same way every day, burnout isn’t a character flaw — it’s a rhythm problem.

In this episode, you’ll learn the 4 Phases of the Creative Cycle and how to work with them instead of against them:

Riva also shares her personal journey of rediscovering her artistic voice and learning how slowing down actually helped her create more.

Whether you consider yourself an artist, hobbyist, entrepreneur, or simply someone longing to reconnect with your creative energy, this framework offers a grounded, practical roadmap.

Our intro and outro song, Reclamation (Reborn), is an anthem of remembering.

This song was created as a companion for the healing journey, especially for women reclaiming their voices, their rhythms, and their belonging in a world shaped by patriarchy.

You’re invited to listen, feel, and let the music meet you wherever you are.
