Her style of teaching is accessible and playful, yet rich with sacred wisdom and ritual. As an intuitive healer and channel for spirit, Joanna's healing sessions are deeply transformative. Her natural ability to hold space will make you feel safe and at ease; whether it's in a yoga class, Reiki session, or Women's Circle.

How to tune into messages from the universe to help guide you

Hello lovelies! This is a very special episode because it marks the end of Season 1 of A Creative Life!
Cass and Sam are both on a high loving the gorgeous sunny weather, isn’t it awesome when it feels like Summer has arrived?!
In the last episode of the season Cass and Sam share their own personal stories and experiences of listening to their intuition and following messages from the universe. We hope this last chat is a good reminder for us all to get out of our minds and follow our intuition. We are ALL always being so guided.
Sam pulls three Dreamy Moon cards that beautifully support today’s topic and then we dive in. We talk about how everyone receives messages differently, often in the way that each individual wants to speak to the universe. Cass receives messages through occurrences that she experiences in life and Sam receives them in many ways but today shares how animal spirits come through to speak to her. Sam first shares the story of when she dreamt of her dog Luna being born and shares the wild story where animal medicine guided her move from Melbourne to the Mid North Coast of NSW.
Note: When you hear Sam sharing the story of her reading with Guliz where Luna eats the rose bud…you need to know the rest of the story! Sam forgot to share in the episode but she later found out two things about her ancestor on her mum’s side - that she lived in Italy and her surname was “La Rosa” (la rosa which means the rose in Italian!)
Thank you all SO much for listening to ACL in 2022- we have LOVED this year with you and wish you all the best for the festive season. We are so looking forward to being back in your ears early 2023. If you have any feedback for us on the poddie, feel free to reach out. We love hearing from you!
See you back on the airwaves in 2023 but you can catch us on socials before then. Big love!

Upgrade your money mindset with Clare Wood

Hello! We are so excited to welcome today’s gorgeous guest, the incredible Clare Wood! Clare is a money mentor and this is a super inspiring chat with her!
Cass begins by sharing how she knows Clare and what their history is before Sam dives into the card pull. The card ‘find wisdom in challenges’ that appears has Clare fighting back tears as it is so appropriate for what she is currently moving through in life - which we get to later in the ep.
As a money coach, Clare specialises in helping small businesses make more money by growing their PROFIT not just sales and she is a genius at working on improving money mindset. Clare shares her journey from being an accountant at a firm to consulting and running her successful business and how changing her money mindset has led her to living her dream life in her home on the water.
Clare also shares how four months ago she was in a serious car accident that she easily could have lost her life in and has been dealing with the physical and emotional healing since. This has beautifully helped changed her perspective on life and she now has a new appreciation for everything.
We dive deep into all things money in this episode and answer all your burning finance questions as a creative entrepreneur. Clare shares her biggest tips, the importance of getting into the habit of looking at your numbers and the importance of investing in your business. She also outlines the money blocks that Clare sees the most in creatives.
There is SO much to take from this brilliant episode. We know you are going to love Clare, enjoy!

Intuition vs Ego: how to tell the difference

Hello and welcome to a BIG episode on the poddie! Cass and Sam begin by sharing what is happening in their worlds - Cass is still in between studios and slowly setting up her new one and Sam just finished performing in a dance showcase. In today’s chat we discuss intuition vs eg. Sam pulls the very perfect card “”trust your intuition” - at this point it is comical when these perfect cards come out, you just can’t make this stuff up!
We dive deep into this chat and begin by breaking down the difference between intuition and ego. Intuition comes from the neutral, non judgmental place that is the divine collective whereas ego is always fear based and comes from the idea that we are all separate.
Ego is not bad though - we need our working, functioning brain. Intuition is what guides us to make decisions and the ego then helps us use our brain to get it things done.
We distinguish the difference between a normal thought and intuitive thought and Sam breaks down all of the various types of intuition. Cass and Sam both share examples of when they have or haven’t followed their intuition in life and business and what it has led to.
It is a huge topic that we could talk about for days! One big takeaway is that life is easier when you surrender to it and just go with your gut feelings.
We also have a BIG announcement this week!! THE CREATIVE COLLECTIVE WAITLIST IS OPEN!!!

Attracting dream clients with branding that feels like you

Hello and welcome to another fun chat on ACL with a fresh new look! Cass is on school holidays and enjoying the holiday vibe and we dive into all things branding! Sam pulls a powerful card that says “use your power to bring this world love and peace” and we talk all about how branding represents your business which is your legacy and mark on this world and how you can use the power of your creative work to positively impact the world.
Cass and Sam share their personal experience with branding over the years and how their various logos have represented who they are over the years. We discuss the importance of rebranding over the years as you need to. If your branding doesn’t feel like you anymore, then that is a big hint to make a change!
Branding that feels like you and that you are proud of will attract your dream clients. Some catalysts for a rebrand are a launch of a new product or collaborating with a big name client. If you are dreaming of up-levelling in your business, think about the biggest dream client you would like to work with and picture what your branding looks like next to theirs. Are you happy with it? If not, maybe it’s time for a refresh.
We discuss how it’s okay for your branding to change over the years - we change and evolve as people and so does our business so our branding can and should reflect that. Don’t be afraid to change it up!
With the upcoming launch of our Creative Life Collective we felt the pull for a rebrand for the poddie. We will be launching a sneak peek this week. Check out our socials and the new podcast cover. We can’t wait to hear what you think! x

How to be ruthlessly in alignment with your self

We have got a special episode in store for you today! Both Cass and Sam are feeling fuelled and inspired by the extra burst of sunshine in their beach towns. Cass is also in a total holiday vibe with the sun shining and kids on school holidays and it felt aligned for her to get back on to Instagram so if you’ve missed her, she is back on the gram! The title of today’s ep is full credit to Kate White, our Human Design guest expert from earlier this year on the poddie. She recently shared these words with Cass who then shared them with Sam and it set both of their hearts on fire!!
The card pulled at the beginning of this chat is about connecting with your inner child, doing things that are fun and bring you JOY. The message is to nourish your inner child, go exploring, paint just for fun, go do what feels fun and joyful to you! This is what makes you feel most aligned and are the ways to get back into alignment.
We break down what being in alignment actually means and how to feel aligned in moments where you are doing something that you don’t love. Hint: it’s in the small things that you can do! Remembering things you love like burning a candle with your favourite scent, having a special crystal nearby, listening to music that you love. Doing these things will lift your vibration and you will consequently attract more good things into your life. Sam shares her experience of dealing with a past horrible boss that was not alignment with her and the crazy thing she did that turned the entire situation around and in total alignment for her. We are here to remind you that alignment is a choice.
Today’s episode is your big permission slip to unapologetically go be YOU, go for the things you want to do, make those shifts and go do whatever it is that makes you FEEL GOOD and is in alignment with you.

Developing your brand’s products with Zoe from THREADJAM

Hello and welcome to another exciting interview episode of ACL! Today we chat with one of Sam’s good friends, Zoe from THREADJAM! Cass and Sam are both super pumped to share her amazing business journey.
At the top of the episode Sam shares a story that she and Zoe had experienced that morning where they both encountered a bee in nature - symbolising hard work ethic and taking the time to stop and smell the flowers. Sam also pulls the Canary Spirit animal card to support Zoe to share her story. She is such a humble person so the canaries were definitely showing up to help Cass and Sam encourage Zoe to sing her own praises.
Zoe has been in fashion production working with global brands for over 10 years and in March 2021 started her own business where she now brings other small business dreams to life by managing the production process. This includes technical documentation, liaising with overseas suppliers and factories that create your products, develop samples, conduct fit sessions, conduct costing and lead time negotiations, fabric sourcing, labelling and packaging. Her business THREADJAM really covers it all!
Zoe shares her story of always wanting to do more in her life than a standard 9-5, then during covid she was made redundant and had a baby. After having her daughter Zoe wanted to create a life where she could have more time with her baby. She shared her business idea with her good friend, who you all know, Sam who pushed her along the way to get it up and running.
Zoe shares what it was like growing a business so quickly, bringing her husband on board to the business, being a working mother and what she has in store around the corner. We get a glimpse behind the scenes of her flourishing business and she shares her advice for any creative entrepreneurs and start ups. Such a fun and inspiring episode. Enjoy!
