Creativity Cycles & Spiritual Evolutions with Leya Van Doren

Nov 10, 2020

Today we are joined by Leya Van Doren for a beautiful conversation about the evolution of her inner artist and spiritual journey, and the ways the two intermingled within one another to bring Leya where she stands today as a creativity coach and full-time creative. Leya is truly living in purpose as she brings her passion for helping creative see their worth to light on a daily basis.
