Welcome to the Creatively Curious Podcast, a space where creativity, life coaching, and occupational therapy intersect to inspire and empower your most authentic life. I’m your host Ashlea Walter. I’m a Life Coach, Artist and Occupational Therapist.
Each episode we’ll explore the processes, struggles, and breakthroughs that shape our personal and creative journeys. Together, we’ll see how creativity could be the missing piece you’ve been searching for, whether you’re an aspiring or seasoned creator, or someone who just loves to explore new ideas.
So let’s get Creatively Curious!
Episode 38: The Work by Byron Katie - Questioning our Thoughts
I go through the "The Work" by Byron Katie this week and use one of my own thoughts as an example: I suck at ART.
Anchor into a specific situation:
1. Is this True?
2. Can you Absolutely know it's true?
3. How do you react, what happens when you believe that thought?
4. Who would you be without that thought?

Episode 34: Kawa Model by Dr. Michael Iwama - A Metaphor for Life
Kawa is the Japanese word for ‘river’. The Kawa Model uses the metaphor of a river to represent a person's life journey.
Occupational therapists try to support, restore and maximize their clients’ life flow.
The Kawa Model can be used in its original form of a river, or broken down into the following 5 elements:
i. River Flow - life flow and priorities
ii. River Banks - environments / contexts, social and physical
iii. Rocks – obstacles & challenges
iv. Driftwood – influencing factors
v. Spaces – Opportunities for enhancing flow
