Welcome back, dear listener. I am so thrilled to share today’s episode with someone who has had a really meaningful presence in my own journey—Liz Kimball.

Liz and I met about ten years ago in a coaching certification program, and I really looked up to her. She had already been coaching for years and brought this grounded, wise, creative energy to everything she did. After the course ended, I got to work with her as a client, and it was a pretty magical experience for me. So, reconnecting with her for this conversation felt like a full-circle moment.

Liz is a creativity catalyst and transformational coach for visionary creators. She’s the founder of The Creative15 and The Expansion Project Creative Development Lab, and her work is all about helping women and girls free their voices and bring their brave creative work into the world—without burning themselves out in the process. Her work has been featured on TEDx, Oprah.com, The Guggenheim, and at universities and institutions throughout the country. She’s also a mother and, as she says, a nonlinear duck—more on that in the episode.

In our conversation, we talked about the importance of having a safe, de-pressurized space for the creative process to unfold—something Liz creates so beautifully for her clients. As she put it, she needed “a de-pressurized environment to hear the sound of me,” and I think so many of us can relate to that.

We also talked about her nonlinear path to coaching—how she started long before coaching was a buzzword—and how she’s followed the quiet tugs of her inner voice, often before she could see the full picture.

This one’s for anyone who’s feeling the call to create something, even if it doesn’t all make sense yet. I hope you love it as much as I did.
